About

You are the Baker of Shireton. The bread you bake is delicious. Raiders are coming.

The Baker of Shireton is a slightly surreal parody of time-management games, and casts the player as a Baker who bakes bread, sells bread, and might learn mysterious things about their existence.

Notable features

• The story remembers significant events that have occurred in the game world, and certain plot elements will persist through a restart. (The world status can be reset manually if the player wishes, and will also do so after completing the game.)
• The player is required to die (possibly multiple times) and continue without reloading to complete the game.
