About this game
You work behind the counter of a late-night coffee shop in a Seattle shared by humans and fantasy peoples. Listen to customers, combine ingredients, and discover drink recipes as their stories unfold. Hibiscus and butterfly pea join the available ingredients, while latte art lets you decorate the drinks you prepare. This standalone story also gives the barista a role in exchanging customers' belongings: passing a received item to another visitor can open new events. Drinks influence the characters' stories too, linking what you serve to the conversations you follow. Rain outside and lo-fi chillhop music accompany these encounters.
