Highly recommend getting this when it's on sale; I don't think the content or gameplay necessitate the current full pricing. ✅ The art style is super cute, and I love the amount of decor styles and options available for your cafe ✅ The cats are adorable, I loved being able to unlock different ones with different lures and I really liked the Cat Shrine area tree and being able to work on unlocking things depending on your personal preferences (food or decor or more cats, etc) ❌ I play A LOT of both genres and this is much more like an idle game than an actual shop management game in terms of content, mechanics, and gameplay ❌ There's no challenge whatsoever - you cannot fail, you can't lose, you can't screw up a save or mess up a day or anything like that. The same stuff happens every single day, you have no ability to speed up the time, and the way the employees in the cafe work means that oftentimes, you literally don't even need to be playing the game for things to continue on - you can just leave it on for a bit to complete each day and get currency to unlock more stuff ❌ It's just SO boring and grind-y after the first hour or so of playing - various currencies and Delight take so, so long to increase, and the cats leveling seems unbalanced in comparison to employee leveling (which means progressing the cats portions for adoptions is also extremely slow)

游戏氛围不错，但内容过于单一。前期体验还算轻松治愈，后期完全靠重复堆时间，没有实质性的成长或变化。适合打折时尝试，原价不太值。 The game has a nice atmosphere, but the content is too limited. The early gameplay is relaxing and healing, but it quickly turns into a repetitive grind with no real growth or meaningful changes. Worth a try during a sale, but not worth the full price.

I had fun with this one. The gameplay loop is pretty much exactly what you'd expect – you sell food and drinks to customers, who pay you in resources that you use to buy upgrades and unlock more food items and furniture and whatnot. The art is cute, there's a storyline even if it's a bit of a light touch, and there are some NPCs with amusing dialogue (I particularly liked the punk and the business guy). It took me about 12 hours to complete the main storyline, and the 17.4 you should see attached to this review to get 100% achievements. The main critiques I have of this game are really of the Steam Deck support. I COULD NOT figure out how to exit the game from actually within the game; all I could do was save it (or wait for the start-of-day autosave) and exit the game from the Steam menu. Additionally, the game really needs some kind of confirmation dialog before letting you sell furniture/decorative items, because I accidentally sold sooooo many items in the early days (before I learned to be super cautious). Or at least an "undo", you know. But in the grand scheme of things these are minor complaints.

i was locked in for nearly 3 hours on the first launch. the creative currency system allows for nearly constant changes in customer needs like recipes and furniture. it's hard to describe but i think it's a cool way to keep the game from getting boring or too repetitive. there's a stardew valley-type beat storyline that is suspenseful and leaves you wondering what else will be uncovered. i feel sympathy for the characters even though i haven't been through their experiences and i just met them. to me, this means the dialogue is well-written. the cat puns are good but i don't feel like i'm getting whacked over the head with them constantly. i've always loved time management cooking games. this one is a little less time management, more strategy, more relaxed. the decorations are cute and the customer groups are fun. you have way more creative freedom with building and designing your cafe than i've seen in other games. i recc if you like restaurant sims but are also looking for something cute and relaxing with some compelling interpersonal dynamics mixed in.
