About
You run a small ice cream shop.
The job should be simple: scoop flavors, serve cones, keep the place clean.
But as the night goes on, the quiet shop starts to feel different.
The Ice Cream Shop is a cozy simulation with a psychological horror twist. On the surface, it’s a relaxing night-shift job: taking orders, choosing toppings, and handing cones or bowls across the counter. But your character suffers from an illness — sometimes, the mind shows things that aren’t really there. Are the customers friendly, or threatening? Are the noises behind the shop just the fridge running… or something else?
Make Ice Creams – Prepare cones with multiple flavors or serve simple bowls. Every customer has their own unique tastes and strange habits.
Meet Strange Customers – From kids sneaking out at night, to ex-convicts, lonely wanderers, or unsettling strangers. Some are kind. Some are confusing. And some may not exist at all.
Face The Unexplainable: Your illness creates shadows, strange sounds, and distorted faces. Sometimes the customer looks weird. Sometimes you see things that shouldn't be there.
Features
Cozy Night Atmosphere: Enjoy the quiet night shift.
Psychological Horror: A scary story that plays with your mind.
Unique Characters: Meet many different and mysterious people.
Reality vs. Imagination: Is what you see real?
If you enjoy cozy games with simple mechanics but also love the slow-burn tension of psychological horror, The Ice Cream Parlor blends both worlds.
It’s about serving scoops, chatting with customers, and keeping the shop tidy—while questioning your own reality.
Sometimes, the night is peaceful.
Sometimes, it isn’t.

Cheaply made and overly overpriced copypasta of The Boba Teashop, with some of the ugliest assets I've ever seen in a game. - horror elements are just a few, and jumpscares were badly timed. - very low variety of customers. - story is almost identical to The Boba Teashop, but the ending wasn't something I saw coming. Don't get fooled by the weird amount of positive reviews, The Ice Cream Shop isn't worth your time. I'd rather play The Boba Teashop or Kiosk one more time instead.
Good game! As someone that plays nearly every indie horror game that comes out, this one has charm! It is a bit rough around the edges, but has some decent scares and a decent story for the price! Can't wait for the next game from Odwar! Enjoyed playing this with my chat!
Enfim, joguinho é simples, mais é bem divertido, não vou mentir, é curtinho .Enfim, joguinho é simples, mais é bem divertido, não vou mentir, é curtinho, com uma horinha vc finaliza ele e platina o jogo, tem uns JUMPSCARES daora, que pegam realmente vc desprevenido, até que a historia dele, da para chocar vc com o desenrolar dela, enfim mais ele não vale os R$ 16,99, o preço dele está um pouco acima, para um jogo feito através da Unity, Blender PhotoShop e Mixamo, para ser um jogo muito, mais muito simples mesmo de configurações, gráficos, seja lá o que for, não tem as configurações que vc procurar para otimizar seu jogo, mais enfim, o joguinho é divertido, dá para vc passar o seu tempo, de aflição e cagasso que vc nn se sabe quando será o susto, SUPER RECOMENDO, MAIS O PRECO DELE NN VALE O QUE SE PEDE.
I'm not entirely sure why this game has mostly positive, and the only reason I can think is because they haven't played Boba Tea shop which came out before this. It's a 100% rip off of the game with very little of a change except the graphics being 10 times worse. The ending is mildly different, but was a stereo type all together, while still trying to cater toward a big time streamer to get the play. If you're looking to play a game that drags out to the nearly enough so you would get no refund amount (for no reason other than just the slowness of characters), this is great for that.
The Ice Cream Shop starts off very slowly so be prepared for that. The story is actually very sad, but I enjoyed every bit of it. For $5 it's a bit steep for only 45 minutes of playtime so definitely try and grab it when it goes on sale. I love the horror simulator types of games and this tickled every part of my brain. Highly recommend this one!
Хорошая игра, но слишком много было взято из Боба Кофейни. Да, конец другой, механики немного другие. Но все равно, это больше плагиат, чем оммаж (Тем более Бобе до классики еще далеко). Ставлю + из-за Маркаряна, покупающего все рожки мороженого.
wow....
Nettes kleines Game mal so für zwischen durch. Natürlich ist das jetzt nicht richtig stark, aber man bekommt genau das, was man nach de Demo erwartet. Freunde von entspannten Horror Simulatoren können hier ohne Bedenken zugreifen. Für den schmalen Taler macht man hier nichts falsch.
Kurzes aber sehr krasses Horrorgame. Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen!
Play The Boba Teashop instead. This game straight up lifts almost all of it, but with added, repetitive, and suspiciously Chat GPT-esque dialogue, terrible animations, and an extremely dumb plot.
