Codename: Bakery girl is Girl can be considered a reimagining of the 2009 visual novel [[Girls' FrontlineGirl of the Bakehouse]]since despite changing almost past recognition, the story's predecessor and a sequel to its storystructure is very similar. Sound assets from ''Codename: Bakery Girl'' have been reused in Girls' Frontline. Bakery Girl's Secret Documents served as the base of the will itself receive a remake titled [[Confidential Files]] of [[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], linking the two universes. One of the taglines for ''Reverse Collapse: Code Name Bakery'' is “30 years after [[Girls' Frontline]], Code Name Bakery beginsbringing it to the international market for the first time.”

''Codename: Bakery Girl'' is a top-view square-grid turn-based strategy RPG (or tactical RPG). On their turn, players expend each of their unit's action points to move them on the map and take a variety of actions, such as gathering supplies to craft equipment from gathered parts, attacking enemies or setting up traps or automated turrets. Stealth is an important part of the gameplay: most of the map is hidden in a fog of war concealing enemy positions, and each enemy has a limited field of vision. By moving on concealement concealment tiles such as forest or buildings, and by trading movement for stealth with the “prone” position, player units can move undetected and perform sneak attacks.

In a flashback, Jefuty remembers that she and Lige were among the refugees convoy that was massacred by the URNC troops, but that Lige was killed by a tank during their escape. Later, she witnessed Lige's body reassembling itself as Beria and his mysterious associate, who presented himself as Lige's father. Beria reveals that Lige's true name is [[Noel (Bakery Girl)|Noel]], and that she was being used to track down Jefuty. Mendo and Carl trigger the explosives they had prepared earlier, making an escape from Beria's ambush. As they are about to leave the base, Noel blocks their exit, resenting Jefuty for leaving her behind, thinking her dead, and asking her to join [[William|their father]]. Jefuty refuses, insisting that they are normal girls and that they had a promise to find their mother together.

The bad ending plays if the player goes straight for kills Beria. In his last breath, Beria taunts Jefuty, saying she will never see Lige again. Jefuty decides to go searching for her, and when Mendo tries to prevent her from walking into an obvious trap, she shoots him in the leg so he won't stop her then leave with a sad face.

The normal ending plays if the player manages to take down destroy Beria's elite enemies before going for forces then approach him. As the encirclement weakens, Mendo and Jefuty run after the fleeing Beria. As he dies, he laments that the war is entirely caused by Jefuty's existence, as she is the key to unlocking the power of [[Collapse Technology]], and that she actually planned for the MID and URNC to fight over her and use the chaos to disappear. Jefuty reveals to Mendo that she is indeed an experiment, but hates that her very existence is causing a war and the death of many people. She finally asks Mendo to kill her, but he refuses, believing in her right to live as a normal human being or use her powers for a good cause. Jefuty smiles and leave. The good ending plays if the player wipes out the opposition before taking down Beria. It is identical to the normal ending, but Jefuty and Mendo share a kiss before she leaves.

Players can unlock 10 pieces of lore from the Secret Documents menu in the game. They cover [[Collapse Technology]] (part 1), [[Relic Technology]] research from 1945 to 1981 (parts 2, 3 & 5), the two [[GAVIRUL|GAVIRUL Reproduction Projects]] (parts 4 & 10), the [[First Beilan Island Incident]] (part 6), [[World War Three]] (part 7), the start of the [[First Antarctic War]] (part 8) and [[Eurosky Low-Emission Infectious Disease]] (part 9). The [[Confidential Files]] of [[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]] have reproduced and added material to these original documents. ==Development history==Yuzhong and [[MICA Team]] distributed [[Girl of the Bakehouse]] in May and June 2009 at ComicCup 4 and ComiCon 4. In a blog post on 2 June 2009, Yuzhong explained that someone at ComiCup 4 motivated him to start working on a strategy game, and he shared concepts of a girl using modern firearms. In a later post on 10 April 2010, he admits that developing a game is more complicated than he envisioned.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VP-f4vpS4wDd_4NQyVpln_J-ZyXMhzBy0BNSf2ClUMQ/edit# Archive of Yuzhong's Sina blog]</ref> A concept shared on his Pixiv account on 4 August 2009 reveals that the project was named ATLNA and describes the game as both SLG (strategy/simulation game) and AVG (adventure). The artwork depicts an armed girl and a military man fighting together, reminiscent of [[Jefuty]] and [[Mendo]].<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/5488569 ATLNA concept on Pixiv]</ref> As revealed by various concept arts, MICA Team worked on two Bakehouse projects during the following years. The first was a sequel to Girl of the Bakehouse simply titled Girl of the Bakehouse 2 (面包房少女2), announced in a 2 August 2010 post. The logo has a similar structure to the one used for Codename: Bakery Girl but depicts a person in a modern military suit (probably Mendo), and the tagline replaces the word “everything” by “memory”, suggesting that Jefuty was the one who lost her memory and not Mendo in the original story. It also describes the game as “Tactical · Action · Shooting” in a style reminiscent of Metal Gear Solid's title.<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/12990317 Yuzhong's original Girl of the Bakehouse 2 artwork]</ref> Yuzhong posted new concepts on Pixiv until April 2011, showing the initial drafts for Jefuty, [[Noel (Bakery Girl)|Noel]] and [[William]],<ref>Yuzhong Pixiv artworks: [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/14984666], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/15401679], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/15499862],[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/17666373], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/17765397], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/17986429], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/18007286]</ref> as well as development assets on Weibo, showing the software Action Game Maker.<ref>Yuzhong Weibo posts: [https://weibo.com/1370692337/60L0Ufu2Diy], [https://weibo.com/1370692337/60L0Ufu9Spa], [https://weibo.com/1370692337/5KD0WR7jIdC]</ref> One of the early artworks was used for the cover of Codename: Bakery Girl Original Soundtrack.<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/14958664 Artwork used for the soundtrack cover]</ref> On 20 March 2011, one of [[Artist:Silverwing|Silverwing]]'s artworks used in the promotion of the game was revealed by Yuzhong on Weibo and by Silverwing on her Pixiv.<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/17498099 Silverwing Pixiv post] and [https://weibo.com/1370692337/wr4ktyhZbx Yuzhong's Weibo post]</ref> On 17 March 2013, a third artist, [https://weibo.com/u/2991145711 catsila], shared backgrounds drawn for the project, dating them from 2011.<ref>catsila's Pixiv posts: [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/34311632], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/34311085], [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/34310975]</ref> Pamphlets with Silverwing's artworks were made to advertise the game at ComiCup 8 in June 2011, announcing a release later the same year.<ref>[https://weibo.com/1370692337/eBIs8dE2Pfo Weibo post]</ref> The second project was an HD remake of Girl of the Bakehouse, advertised in MICA's 2011 doujin works with a new artwork by Silverlight and a logo identical to the final one used for Codename Bakery Girl.<ref>[https://ngabbs.com/read.php?tid=24069083&page=3#pid467138601Anchor NGA Forum post with picture of MICA's advertisement] ([https://img.nga.178.com/attachments/mon_202011/11/-bqqbQ5-eow3ZcT3cSsg-lc.jpg Direct link to image])</ref> Yuzhong revealed more artwork for the remake in a 10 January 2012 Pixiv post<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/24296256 Yuzhong's Pixiv post for Girl of the Bakehouse HD]</ref>, then advertised both project in a 25 March 2012 Weibo post, announcing more than 120 artworks and an expected release date for the remake in the second part of 2012.<ref>[https://weibo.com/1370692337/ybz6IfuK4 Weibo announcement]</ref> In November 2012, Yuzhong shared screenshots and artworks of Jefuty, showing that the project had definitely shifted to a strategy game.<ref>2012 Weibo posts showing the development of Codename: Bakery Girl: [https://weibo.com/1370692337/z4sVHen4g], [https://weibo.com/1370692337/z5Yhu7NpT], [https://weibo.com/1370692337/z6gETpA76], [https://weibo.com/1370692337/z99kfB59v]</ref> The final version of the game was formally announced in February 2013, a month before the release.<ref>[https://www.hexieshe.com/640047/ Hexieshe article] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130930125407/http://www.gamemastercn.com/archives/352 GameMaster announcement]</ref> The first three issues of [[Guns&Girls]] were produced during the course of Codename: Bakery Girl's development. [[Girls' Frontline]] can be seen as the fusion of Bakery Girl's Sci-Fi war stories and Guns&Girls' light-hearted gun anthropomorphism.
