Until one day, in the corner of the world, an accidental explosion triggered by the main character Chaia, who was forced to stay in a rundown town where she is unfamiliar with the little store owner Effie to rebulid her bakery. And the good smell from the insignificant oven is - the almost lost delicious food, Bread!(Storyline via IGDB)
