CAFE 0 ~The Sleeping Beast~

The character art was pretty amateurish, the music was bland, and the characters/plot felt really 1-dimensional. Overall I thought it was pretty boring and the payoff for the mystery/sitting through the story was lackluster.

First of all I want to say is I love the art and the characters. They all have a own past and story. The heroine is a sweet but sensetive girl and she suit the story very well. I love the endings some of them are a bit sad. But I enjoyed it!

The game is quite nice. I Likes how the story goes, like our waiter in this part, like the atmosphere. I cleared it in 2 days without any hurry, there was no need for a guide to help me clear all parts. So, for me, it is quite an easy one. It was fun to find out the endings and the truth on my own. I recommend this novel. Now, let us dive a bit deeper into the novel. Here we have a kind of mystery visual novel after one's death. Return 7 days before the heroine died and uncover more about what happened and about the characters. The story itself is a little dark and tragic, especially before you start the true endings and found out all of the emotions. Yes, yes, you need to find your(the heroine) emotions. Because at the beginning of the story it looked like the heroine had none at all. Just like a living doll. So, we have an old mansion in a remote location. The heroine is a new maid, who is now working for the two young masters. Every day you need to try and find out a new hint so that you can see some memory of the past. The mystery element is quite intriguing. I, personally, was not sure what had really happened until the very last moment. It's nice. It gave me a little bit of surprise. And, I love the waiter in this part. For me, his character was the best in the game, but that IMHO. Let's sum it up: The "true routes" can be started after you experienced all of the emotions needed; There are bad and good endings, as well as friendly/family ones; The story uncovers bit by bit in every route; There are achievements if you like such stuff in games; The story has a dark and intriguing atmosphere; The waiter - I love him so much. He was a great addition to the whole story with his character. I didn't see any bugs or typos, which is nice; All characters are fully voiced, even the Heroine; The art style is likeable, IMHO. In conclusion: It's not a difficult, atmospheric mystery visual novel. The plot is on a good level, uncovering pace is satisfying. I recommend you to try it and decide for yourself. :)

Esse jogo é realmente interessante e intrigante, quase como a leitura de um livro, onde te instiga para descobrir mais sobre o passado e sobre a personagem, sempre fomentando para fazer escolhas diferentes, fazendo com que todas as rotas sejam obrigatórias caso queira entender a história completa, e diga-se de passagem, não é algo ruim e nem chato, na realidade, torna o jogo mais interessante ainda, pelas possibilidades e por fazer entendermos o todo e não apenas uma parte da história. Adorei e ´um dos melhores visual novels que já joguei desde que comecei a jogar esse estilo de jogo. O mais interessante é que ele literalmente não tem casais e nem nada do gênero, é uma estória que literalmente nos faz refletir, com mistérios a serem resolvidos, como em um bom livro. Fora que a trilha sonora é impecável e a dublagem é ótima. A única coisa que me incomodou foram os olhos do Edward e do Ethan, que parecem que tinham quatro olhos ao invés de dois (creio que na edição deixaram assim e não perceberam, então dá muita agonia ver isso *risos*). Fora isso, todo o resto supera esse ínfimo erro. Espero que quem quiser jogar se divirta e se intrigue com a estória, bem elaborada e com pontos bem amarrados, sem deixar espaços para conjecturas ou furos.

Roseverte is so good at making these games, I adore the Cafe 0 series. This game goes from good to amazing once you get to the true ending, like a lot of their games do.

Best Reseverte game. I get it right away with my first month's salary but too lazy to review until now lol (I'm finish it long time ago and review on my blog though). The new art style fit the old color way nicely. VA is good and so the story. But I really don't like the real true end. If it mix between the 1st true end it would be much better.

The plot is engaging and arouse my curiosity about the truth of the mystery. Artwork is nice, but I prefer more anime-like, though. If the story is a bit longer, more details on each characters' story (I wonder why there's no detail in Heroine's backstory, like her history and family), it will be better. Overall, this is a good mystery VN

I am officially in love with CAFE 0 series.I am very impress of the variety of choice leads to different tales that is being told, when I say different, it was very different! Some of the visual novels they re-use a scence after few sentece after a choice (so when i want different ending, skipping was like a fast tract) But this really got different story and path after the choice were made. It was surprising at first, but I am very pleased. The first one I played was a bit surprising, but this one i have already prepared my heart to play it. And I would say it as what I expected, or maybe I should say exceed my expectation. It was easy to play and I enjoyed the story very much. It seems that improved the voice acting, though there was a bit of awkwardness, but I am glad they had an effort to improve it. If there is another series, I would deffinitley go for it. They stories are very interesting that I am excited what stories they'll have next. I am not a good judge for arts because I bought this purley because of the story. But the BGM are actually very nice. They put alot of efforts on them. It suits the timing and I dont think there was a time I thought it was awkward. I totally recommend this!

Cafe 0 is an interesting story that made me think about certain things in life. Is it incredibly deep and complex? Not really, unless you're quite young or you haven't been exposed to a lot of media. It has its moments. The CG and sprites were not really my taste: the two main characters Ethan and Nathan look and behave like they are 11 years old, Corliss looks disproportionate in the birthday CG. The true route endings felt like they couldn't really find a good way to end it. The great reveal of the plot when the villain explain how they've done it is kinda a joke. Everything is wrapped up a little too conveniently. Overall the game will give you 6-7 hours of gameplay. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game but I guess it's a game made with teenagers in mind. In the end, it didn't feel memorable in any way and I'm just eager to play something else.

Lovely game with more depth then I realised when I bought it. Loved it.
