This is such a cute game, and the awkwardness of the main character resonated with me entirely too much. I love when a game is small and does exactly what it's intending to do, no cruft. That's something npckc is great at.
I think definitely the execution of this game cannot get a lower score than three. Even though I would score this game separately into categories. First would be Aesthetics. Absolutely looks beautiful. The halfway between pixel and yet young adult cartoon style is awesome. Animation to the characters top notch. The game definitely takes nuances with its focusing with camera. It's smooth transitions to focus on characters while they're talking is brilliant. that Art & originality deserves a mighty 5. Where I feel it takes its major hits is it story and gameplay. Even though making animations out of the window Cafe. I think that does distract from focusing on the story end. Making sometimes things being too busy and ruining some of the atmosphere. I felt a very large disconnect when it came to emotions of the characters. Even though there animations are beautiful a lot of the time the dialogue does not match up with what the characters emoting a large time. And finally for the story it is just not good. It's literally like listening into real life conversations. it has hardly any entertainment value whatsoever. you can make a slice of life and still make it interesting for your readers. There is nothing interesting when it comes to this. a large time the dialogue is too stereotypical and you can just see already what's going to be right before it's written. so the story gets a 1.5. Lastly the gameplay is extremely limiting and feels like an afterthought. the way you manipulate drawing the coffee felt kindergarten ish. there is very few choices to really mess up or make something nuance. the gameplay is more of a pest than is a compliment to the game. I think being able to have a template and try to match it up to get higher scores with a very Miss opportunity to make drawing coffee more engaging. Then your choice of just tea, Cocoa, and coffee..... really that's it? so making the coffee is more bothersome because it takes you away from the story not distract you to have fun. so gameplay is a mighty zero. so even though I feel that this game has well execution. the design of it is very poor. You can't really love it nor can you really hate it. It's just stuck in between
I like them all, but I think it would be nice if you could make more stories. It's a game I'm looking forward to. I really like it because you put Korean in it.
