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'm absolutely in love with this game: the plot, interactions, Artemis - everything is just so well made, and the story itself is very touching. I'm obsessed with Artemis now :)

This game effectively captures the thrill of falling for someone. Disgustingly adorable. I highly recommend. The writing feels natural and sincere, and the art/character design really sets this VN apart. I adore fantastical characters in mundane settings and Cryptid Coffeehouse just owns that aesthetic.
Super cute and realistic dialogue! The Mothman love interest is a blush machine and the art style gives such a cozy feeling!
It's very sweet and kinda slow. You might not like it if you're not a fan of slow burn slice of life romance. But for me, after a couple of heavy games that shattered my heart and nerves, this game is like a healing salve. I'm very satisfied and content, I love Artemis a lot
eh i really wanted to like it i just don't
its so slow & peaceful, im genuinely having so much fun, its such a gorgeous game. for a game about vryptids & stuff it feels very down to earth & realistic compared to other dating sims ive played, its a really nice change. edit: i just finished the game, it was perfect. the ending felt almost a little abrupt but i think im ok with that, i feel so content? at peace? very happy, very good game.
Cryptid coffeehouse is such a cute and well made game! i love how well written the story is, im a big fan of the original concept and diverse cast! it was great to see more character types than other games :) the music was also so good!! highly recommend
Artemis wins the best mothman award <333
