Summary of "Bonjour, Cream Inside - Valentine's Day Special - The Worst Game I Have Ever Played"
Short summary
You play Wesley, a young man who comes to Paris to learn baking (and, per the game’s pitch, optionally have sex). He stays with a lewd, possibly haunted landlady, gets a job at Anna’s Delicatess, and quickly becomes entangled in multiple, inconsistent subplots:
- Flirtations and sexual scenes with several women (the landlady, Meredith, Angela, etc.).
- A haunted apartment thread.
- Meredith’s plan to open an animal shelter and a dangerous loan.
- A journalist accusing the bakery of wrongdoing.
- A violent antagonist (Alex) who kidnaps and beats Wesley.
- A detective (Leo Ozanne), a burned police vehicle, and a break‑in to steal evidence.
The script contains many name inconsistencies and absurd details (e.g., a gigantic moon, mismatched character spellings). Reviewers and the playthrough found no proper endings or meaningful branching despite claims of multiple routes; the game appears incomplete.
Tone and critique
The playthrough commentator (Many A True Nerd / John) finds the writing incoherent, most sex scenes boring or irrelevant, and the overall product buggy and unfinished. He concludes the game may be the worst he’s played because its promises of choice, multiple endings, and a complete story are unfulfilled.
The commentator describes the game as fractured, unfinished, and often baffling — with promises of branching routes and endings that are not delivered.
Gameplay highlights and mechanics
- Core progression: simple point‑and‑click / visual‑novel style with occasional minigames.
- Baking minigames:
- Knead or move dough clockwise.
- Connect pieces or line up buns to even out the dough.
- Time clicks to hit a green zone (get it right to make good cupcakes).
- Small interaction minigames (for example, screwing pictures into the wall to avoid rent).
- Phone/gift shop interface to buy and send gifts to NPCs (in‑game text hints indicate preferred gifts).
- Dialogue choices and “romance” options are presented, but choices rarely produce meaningful divergent routes.
- Occasional dual camera windows, animation glitches and inconsistent UI text (character names spelled differently).
Key tips and strategies (from the playthrough)
- Baking minigame:
- Move dough clockwise and use on‑screen cues to make shapes even.
- Click when the cursor is in the green zone for best results.
- Follow written recipes exactly on early days — don’t improvise until you understand the consequences.
- Stay behind the counter while customers are present to avoid theft and losing the till.
- Read NPC text messages carefully; they hint which gifts they prefer.
- Avoid escalating confrontations: don’t provoke suspicious customers, don’t punch cameramen, and don’t perform illegal stunts (the narrator repeatedly regrets choices like burning a detective’s car).
- Expect incompleteness and bugs — don’t rely on the game to resolve plotlines or deliver satisfying endings.
Notable bugs, inconsistencies and warnings
- Multiple character name inconsistencies (e.g., Madame Bowmore / Bowmont / Anna / Sophie; Madame Tarfel / Polly / “Madam Chicken”).
- Visual and logic oddities (a ridiculously large moon, duplicate windows showing the same scene).
- The game advertises branching paths and multiple endings but — based on the playthrough and Steam reviews — appears to lack real branching and any proper ending. Storylines stop mid‑arc.
- Sex and kink content is frequent and poorly integrated with the baking premise; the game pushes explicit scenes and confused sexualized “cooking class” mechanics even if you aim to pursue a baking route.
Conclusion from the commentator
Despite a few simple baking minigames and occasional amusing moments, the game is fractured, unfinished, and often baffling. The commentator considers it possibly the worst game he’s ever played due to the incoherent plot, unfulfilled promises of choices and endings, and general lack of polish.
