Love & Pies has not only stolen our hearts but also our tummies. It keeps you busy building up the family business with delectable offerings and putting Windmill Cafe back together with love – one pie at a time. Along the way you will dig into the cafe’s mysteries, including hero Amelia’s missing mother, as you move towards a brighter future.

We knew we loved it when: At first it was the simple joy of merging ingredients to fulfil customer orders and earning coins to complete renovations. But after becoming incredibly invested in the burgeoning romance, we realised we were truly smitten.

Our favourite moment: Developers Trailmix have brilliantly brought the game and narrative to life with special events, such as helping best mate Yuka with her romantic life and the regular cash dash. But the arrival of the cute pet corgi, the one we got to name ourselves, is a true highlight.

The biggest surprise: Unravelling secrets at the heart of the game – satisfying and jaw-dropping in equal measure. We don’t want to give anything away, so let’s just say that there’s plenty of intrigue in the pasts of these characters!
