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.

TRASH GAME don't get it if you want to have a smooth gameplay after i mop it glitches and dosen't let me move to next task save your money
뭔가 손님들 오는 텀에 심심해서 지루해요. 점프 스케어 많이 깜짝 놀랐어요. 엔딩은... 뭔가 갑작스러운 느낌이 강하네요. 그래도 전체적으로는 나쁘지는 않았지만 손님이 없는 시간에 할 게 없는 게 너무 심심하네요. 그래도 재미있게 했습니다.
curto e bem divertido! com um final digno de um Oscar (👍ᐛ )👍
The rest of the negative reviews are totally right. This is a complete rip-off of The Boba Teashop (which I highly recommend). There's an actual story, gameplay, tension, etc. in that game. This game it's not even fun to make ice cream because you run out of flavors constantly and have to keep running to the back to make more. It gives the illusion of providing more options, but the game is 45 mins long to complete all content (no endless mode) so you don't even get time to explore serving different combinations. It's not scary, the character's story is so shallow and makes no sense. The ending comes out of nowhere and is ridiculous. It's not worth your time, the developer should have left this in the oven longer.
peak game ! good vibes
Замечательная игра, хороша в своем жанре, только предупреждайте в следующий раз, что с собой надо чистые штаны иметь, а то и соседи проснулись и штаны испачканы... . Мой летсплей: https://youtu.be/lkQ2TdDLvKc
说实话,你这个游戏我本来很想好好玩的,但是,你的中文翻译做的是个啥?一句话里面一堆口,重要信息也看不见,怎么玩?我不是英语人,玩不了,垃圾游戏,毁我青春!!!!
A good game. Short but quite suspenseful, with some pretty good scary moments. I especially liked that you could actually make the ice cream; there was more to the game than just selling ice cream and waiting for the horror to unfold. Wish there were an endless mode in the game.
I'm honestly surprised at all the positive reviews. This game almost beat for beat copies The Boba Teashop but with none of the visual charm. The only really enjoyable part is the ice cream making part and having to actually process change. It's also very obvious the creator is trying to streamer bait by having a CaseOh look alike in the game, instead of letting the game stand on it's own merits (of which there aren't many). There's also a strong possibility some of these positive reviews have been bought. They have 2hrs or more of gameplay on a game that is easily played through in less than an hour and doesn't have any replayability (my time is higher than an hour only because I AFKd for a bit while the game was open). Spoilers ahead. [spoiler] I liked the daughter ghost when I thought her face was messed up and mangled, but it turns out the model just looks REALLY bad in comparison to the others, which aim for more realism. Likely that was the only model actually made by the developer while the others are asset store models. The oddly low polygon ice cream clashes with the higher polygon smoother character models as well. The ending was extremely weak. The whole "it was all a dream" is really played out and boring, I would have preferred the game ending with the fire, at least "you were dead the whole time" or an open interpretation for what's going on would have been better. And why would the hero CaseOh show up 5 years later to the hospital bed of a random person he rescued lol Absolutely nonsensical just to streamer bait some more. [/spoiler] Play The Boba Teashop instead.
Ein kleines, aber feines Erschreckgame. Leider etwas kurz und keine Variationen. Aber für den Preis sehr gut.
