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.

just put youtube man in your game, just put markiplier in your game. why does my guy need a machine to put sprinkles and syrups on the ice cream? dude got fleeced. why do we only have 5 tubs. why is there barely any horror in this. why do the same customers come in every day and order the weirdest inhuman ice cream orders that stack to the ceiling, except the cop who orders like a 1 scoop bowl every time. why do they all pay ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird amounts that make no sense? does this game take place in the universe where customers have a 15 dollar bill? or just like to give you 5's and 10's that you have to hand back to them? it's 8 dollars, hand me a 10 or a 20, dont give me 38 dollars. nobody paid with exact change the entire game.
Short and sweet horror game with a good story. A little expensive at $5, but a great game to grab on sale
Short, cute for a job horror game, and fun enough while it lasted. The ending was a little ho hum, but better than others in this genre. If you can get it on sale, don't have high expectations, and like cozy horror job sims, give it a go. It was a bit confusing how to get passed the last day without dying over and over, but [spoiler]running into the freezer and shutting the door finally got it to progress.[/spoiler]
Great little horror game <3
I love little mundane job horror games... I know... it's a weird thing to enjoy... but I do. With that being said... "The Ice Cream Shop" was a nice installment in that niche. I would've liked a few more customer variations in the game... but I absolutely loved the addition of the "Dollar Tree CashOh_" that you come across. If you're looking for something fun to pass the time and give you a little scare here and there... "The Ice Cream Shop" will satiate that fear tooth.
This is great, exactly what I want to see in a simulator+horror game. But, more story! More game time! I really hope that more things will be added in time. I absolutely love cosy horror games like this. But, it's just soooo short! Maybe add multiple endings? Idk, but I look forward to more from this dev!
this is easy game, good horror atmosphere..
분명 공포게임인데 안무섭고 점프스케어가 허접함 심지어 직업형 경영 시뮬레이터 게임이 너무 루즈함 적어도 매장에 노래라도 틀어주던가... 두 가지 사이에서 애매한 느낌 제작자가 The boba teashop을 본건지 비슷한 느낌(장르나 스토리 엔딩의 의외성 등)인데 완성도는 현저히 떨어짐 튜토리얼이 없어서 영어 모르면 아이스크림 새로 못 만드는 불상사가 생김
The Ice Cream Shop — милый хоррор с неожиданной жутью. Захотели мороженого, открыли магазин, а получили кошмар. Психологический ужас под соусом пломбира. Если интересно, как мы это прошли и поржали над собой — вот видео: https://vkvideo.ru/video-237391861_456239060 Рекомендую любителям неспешных страшилок. Игра классная!
Game was very enjoyable and had some spooky moments plus a hilarious cameo! Please feel free to check out my playthrough and let me know what you thought of it :D ♥♥♥♥♥♥ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYDyIl-Vi8s
