Each of these quests appears to add more layers to the game's world and characters, which is great to see. The game features a few core tenets that make its narrative fit well with its gameplay systems. Players are tasked with proving their worth as students in the Academy of Magical Bakers. This not only does a great job of framing the player's accomplishments, but is also a great way of presenting progression as well.
