Loved balancing the smile meter while remembering orders. The doom-scrolling news got me; the satirical articles were great. Love the fresh take on cafe simulators with the petty customers, definitely feels right at home in the genre and leaves you wanting more!
Thank you for playing and your kind words, it means a lot to me <3
Out of curiosity, did you reach the ending? Just asking because you mentioned wanting more ^^
Yes, I did! Not wanting to spoil it for others... But it's worth playing to! At first, I was a bit daunted by how long it seems like it would take to reduce the debt to 0, but the twist comes along at a great time. With leaves you wanting more... I meant petty customers! Their writing was funny and memorable, and there was a lot of variety especially for a game jam game--but you can't help wanting to read more of the line you've come up with for them.
it's a really smart use of game mechanics, i love it
Thank you for playing and leaving a comment, it really means a lot to me to have people play my games <3
this was really stressful and hurt my hand, but i think that was the intended experience haha -- great job!
Thank you for playing and commenting! <3 And, yeah, the experience was designed to be stressful and annoying, while making progress still possible to reach the ending. Sorry about your hand, though 😅
I dig it, use to work retail I so get it.
Thank you for playing and commenting, it means a lot to me :)
And I'm glad this worked well as a caricature of service work.
