About This Game

Before the town wakes, there’s bread to make.

Before Dawn Bakery is a cozy solo baking 2D game about working the night shift in a small bakery. Have regular orders, choose what you'll make, and hurry around the kitchen to make most of the night. With only one pair of hands, you decide what needs you the most.

Take part in the whole baking process: mix the ingredients, let dough ferment, shape and proof it, tend the oven, then cool and pack the finished goods. Each part has its own time and all of them are important for the perfect bread. Pay attention to your batches and wait for the right moment to bring out their best.

While you bake the light of your bakery is a glowing beacon of warmth in the night. Expect visitors wanting a early taste of the bread still warm.

Your decisions and results matter - and you can expect more interruptions if the whole town knows you have the best bread available before dawn.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

AI tools are used to speed up coding and to generate the visual art you see in the game.
This is not the work of a "soul less machine" - It takes real human effort besides the generation of images.

Even if you dislike AI in games, I hope you will try my game demo when available and see for yourself if it is fun. Personally I think AI will let me respond to feedback faster and give you a better game.

Thank you!
