Sit back and relax as you play the role of a donut therapist in this cozy dating/cooking sim. Feeling nervous? Need some happiness in your life? Here at High Times, there's a donut for every mood.
High Times delivers exactly what players are expecting based on the title. Plenty of donuts get cooked, then iced, and potentially sprinkled. Because of the mysterious mood-altering ingredients used by The Hotbox, all of them have the power to help customers have a better day or deal with a particular situation.
Mixing together a coffee shop sim with a dating element, and sprinkling in characters with plenty of personality, makes for a reasonably tasty time
