It's a queer, slow burn, coffee shop AU like what's not to love!!!!!

Cryptid Coffeehouse is a very casual, slice-of-life game about living in the American Midwest, meeting new people, and developing feelings for someone. It's a game about relationships and the importance of consent, permission, and respect in those relationships, especially relationships that are between stages. And, as corny as it sounds, it's a game about being yourself.
Content warnings: swearing, mentions of recreational alcohol & marijuana consumption, sexual tension, and a lot of kissing ;)

I was really interested in this because cryptids and "choose what kind of physical contact you have with them," but even beyond the casual touching, while Artemis asks about kissing, the player isn't given the option to say no. This probably won't bother too many people, but coming into it with the understanding that I could choose that sort of thing and then not having that option is a dealbreaker for me. Yay for queer rep and nonbinary rep, but boo to ignoring aromantic rep.

Giggling. Throwing up. Blushing. Sobbing. Feet kicking up behind me like a young school girl texting her crush on the weekend. My gosh- what a healthy but sickenly sweet game. Ugh!

i am so, so, so in love with artemis. this game is so cute and genuinely makes me feel so soft and mushy- i cannot recommend it enough. im obssessed. soo excited for version 3.0- cant wait ! edit for version 3.0: honestly, this update made me fall for artemis even harder. not only has the art been updated, ever single thing in the game has. the sound design is amazing, the voice acting is literally perfect (artemis' voice makes me melt every time) and there's obviously been a lot of love put into the game. all the new events/content for v3 have made me think about CC constantly- and achievement hunting was sooo much fun. Highly recommend!!!
im really gay, 10/10
yes
i wish Artemis was real. i love them so much. 10/10.
Great Game! sooo queer and poc, we love to see it. Story and characters are captivating, and wonderful backround music! Trans representation to the max
So, I came in expecting that otome experience of actually feeling like I'm falling in love with the love interest. I didn't get that, possibly because Artemis is very bashful and sort of submissive. But anyone who likes that will probably love this game. Also, there are *A LOT* of descriptions of blushing, elevated heart rates, and other physical signs of nervousness in this game. I know it's meant to convey romantic excitement, but it makes me feel kinda uneasy. That being said, I still enjoyed it. It's definitely well-written. And the soundtrack was really easy to listen to.
Top ten coziest experiences. I'm not much of a visual novel gamer but this one definitely has me kicking my legs like a little schoolgirl. The coffeehouse aesthetic is 10/10, the music bangs, and all the characters feel like people you would really wanna hang out with in real life
