For Haunted Chocolatier to give players a full management experience, one classic mechanic will need to be accounted for. While there will be plenty of things to occupy players' time in Haunted Chocolatier, they will still have a chocolate shop to worry about. Some skills can likely be transferred over from Stardew Valley, but running a chocolate shop and running a farm have some distinct differences, and that will likely be reflected in the gameplay. This will probably warrant the introduction of some new mechanics. In particular, there is one mechanic that could be a perfect fit for the job.
