The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 is now available, bringing fixes for Mawuli’s relationship progression, the Heart Dive puzzles, Chapter 3 audio and several smaller problems players have encountered since launch. Sunny Lab has also changed running from a button you hold to a toggle.
These are direct changes from the developer’s new Steam patch notes, not a list of hoped-for improvements. If you’ve been stuck on Mawuli’s first heart or losing track of the phone dialogue, here’s what the update changes and which separate romance issue has already received its own fix.
What’s fixed in The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2?
The update addresses several unrelated areas of the game, from movement controls to relationship events and bakery puzzles. Here’s the confirmed breakdown.
| Area | Change |
|---|---|
| Movement | Running is now a toggle instead of a hold action |
| Daniel’s park outing | Energy recovery corrected from 150 to 200 |
| Mawuli’s first heart | Progression no longer blocked between May 7 and May 13 |
| Mawuli’s apartment scene | Character no longer briefly appears to sit in mid-air |
| Anger Heart Dive | A bakery puzzle has an additional path |
| Chapter 3 | Phone dialogue audio no longer loops |
| Lunne’s appearance | Concerned expression used during tense story scenes |
| Shop access | Customisation shop unavailable during tense moments |
| Text | Corrections to English, French and Chinese typos |
The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 doesn’t change the central daily routine of running the bakery, exploring Paris and preparing magical treats. It focuses on making the existing experience work as intended.
Running is a toggle instead of hold
One of the most immediately noticeable changes in The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 is the running control. Previously, running required holding the action button. After the update, the control acts as a toggle, allowing players to switch running on or off without keeping the button held down.
That should be more comfortable when moving across the city’s different districts during Lunne’s evening activities. If the control suddenly behaves differently from what you’re used to, it is an intentional change, not a controller malfunction.
The patch note doesn’t specify that you have to enable a separate accessibility option. It describes the new running behaviour as part of the update itself.
Mawuli’s first heart and apartment fixes
The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 fixes a progression blocker in Mawuli’s first heart that could occur between the in-game dates May 7 and May 13. Sunny Lab says the heart will no longer become blocked in that period.
There’s another Mawuli correction that’s visual rather than progression-related. During the first-heart visit to Mawuli’s apartment, he could briefly appear to be sitting in mid-air. The updated version removes that animation problem.
For anyone approaching the scene for the first time, you can now follow Mawuli’s heart events without planning around the old date-related blocker. The studio hasn’t published a special manual save recovery procedure for Mawuli in these patch notes.
Anger Heart Dive gets another route
The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 also changes one of the Anger Heart Dive bakery puzzles. Sunny Lab has added another possible path through the puzzle, giving players an additional way to progress.
The patch notes do not identify a new reward or a completely redesigned Heart Palace. The confirmed change is the extra puzzle path, which may be relevant if you were struggling to find a viable route before the update.
If you were previously stuck, update the game and examine the affected puzzle again. The additional route is part of the corrected puzzle rather than a separate downloadable quest.
Daniel’s energy reward is corrected
Sunny Lab fixed the energy regained when Lunne goes to the park with Daniel. The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 changes this value to 200, correcting the previous reward of 150.
That difference matters if you’re planning Lunne’s activities across the day. You should now receive the intended amount of energy from the park outing instead of the lower amount that appeared before the patch.
The patch note is specific to the Daniel park visit. It doesn’t announce a global change to energy costs or rewards across the entire game.
Chapter 3 dialogue and story scene corrections
Another fix stops phone dialogue audio from looping during Chapter 3. In certain scenes, Lunne could also be shown smiling when the tone of the story called for a concerned expression. Her model has been corrected for those moments.
The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 additionally blocks access to the customisation shop during tense story sequences. That prevents players from interrupting dramatic events to change decorations at an inappropriate moment.
The studio has also corrected several text errors in English, French and Chinese. These are presentation and polish changes rather than new recipes or storyline chapters.
Does patch 1.2 fix Estelle’s second heart?
Sunny Lab separately confirmed that its fix for Estelle’s relationship blocker became available on 19 October at 3 p.m. French time. That earlier issue involved a theatre dialogue choice that could leave Estelle’s second heart permanently locked.
The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 announcement refers to the Estelle issue and the ongoing fix process, with a later update confirming that the related fix is live. Players whose files were already locked can follow the specific recovery steps in our Estelle romance bug and second-heart repair guide.
It’s a different problem from the Mawuli date blocker. The save-file identifier used for Estelle isn’t a general tool for repairing every relationship in the game.
How to get the latest update
On PC, keep Steam online and let it update The Witch’s Bakery. If the download hasn’t started, review the game’s Properties and confirm you’re on the default public version rather than an old testing branch.
Players who continued an old demo save should also read our demo save compatibility guide, since the retail game can’t safely continue that progress. Our release and platforms article and PC requirements provide further details.
The complete changes for The Witch’s Bakery patch 1.2 appear in Sunny Lab’s official Steam patch announcements.
