This game is lovely and has so much potential, I don't believe it's worth the price /right now/ but with enough work I believe it could be a popular cozy game within the furry community!
A few things bother me at the moment that I believe could benefit from improvement:
- The coffee scoop needs to be on another keybind, anytime I try to lift it while a cup is in the machine, I end up picking up the cup, or the other way around. The way it auto-locks into the machine is troubling too, if I'm trying to lay one next to the machine to swap out with another scoop, 9/10 I'll just put the old one back in
- Customers are extremely slow when walking around, this meant for a few of my days I only got 1-2 customers for the whole day and genuinely thought "is this it" I love to practice patience and peace, but eventually I started wondering if my game was broken, some variety in walk speeds would be nice, even just from a visual standpoint of window watching, I can imagine they're late for work or excited to go about their day.
- The doors, omg the doors are SO HEAVY, when I bring in orders I have to go backwards because I've lost boxes to the door collisions, I wish the doors would have an option to be toggled to always open, I've genuinely lost so much product to the doors which would have been avoidable if I could keep them open
- The emotes / icons over the characters heads, I can't find anything anywhere about what they mean, a customer is angry...why? My cafe is clean, I took their order and made it quickly? It would be great to have the option to find out why they're angry, it took me over an hour of playing to realise the raccoon mask icon was actually a theft mask, which meant I had to spray/hit them to get money, the icons need to be in the help section to be referred back to at any time.
- Cupboards all over the place, yet I can't snap any product in/out of them, I have to awkwardly crouch and place things, it's gotten to the point where I don't even bother anymore and just leave things littered around in the back room (Which I now do on the cafe floor itself since the door collisions steal my product) I don't understand why there's so much storage when it can't be used.
Although I enjoy this game at the moment, I don't think I could call it a full game and I can't recommend it RIGHT NOW, it's a lovely start and I really hope it keeps getting updates, but a nice update addressing people's feedback on Steam and Reddit would be appreciated. My patience allows me to enjoy this game for what it is, but I could definitely see others dropping it quickly for some of the above points, which would be so disappointing. I hope I can come back in a few weeks/months and update this review to reflect on updates and confidently recommend it!
(I'd also love a customise yourself option, furries would go absolutely crazy over this lmao)
