Vacation Cafe Simulator

The concept is great, but it's really not quite 'cooked' yet. Performance: Something's wrong with it. Perhaps it's capping at 30fps or something, but even when getting over 100fps as shown on various tested fps counters across two pc's, it's jarring just moving around. No antialiasing so everything is shimmering. Overall this game runs worse than any other game I own. Progression: It's cranked up 10x the speed it should be. It's meant to be a slow paced cosy game - but you rank up every few minutes, meaning you're unlocking more and more food and drink types before you even had a chance to go to the shop to buy the equipment to make it. In one day of relaxed gameplay we unlocked 4 different food types needing 4+ more equipment pieces. You also unlock a vehicle within about 5-6 hours play, but no where to drive it as far as I can tell? Quicker to walk. Perks: FYI these can be turned off but are on by default. Within 1-2 hours of playing, you earn perks which essentially automate 80% of the minigames to cook. This would be good hours down the line when you're busy and had enough of the minigames but you're given them practically as you start. I'm not sure removing half the game within the first few hours is the right call. Player customisation: If you play a male your choices are cafe worker, shoe shiner or burger king. Weird choices. In conclusion it's got the right idea but some not great decision making on progression, and needed more time to optimise before calling this a full release. It's closer to launching in EA needing a year+ of updates to make it a smooth experience. You might enjoy about 10 hours in its current stage.

Feels more like a demo than a full game. Sure, would maybe be fine if it was Early Access, but it is not, and the price is far from that as well. Looks like there is a lot to do (and maybe there is?), but it is very jagged (both gameplay-wise and graphics-wise) and a lot of the art looks AI generated. The cooking is very bland, you don't actually do any cooking, just clicking.

Using AI instead of paying a small artist is crazy Also, it runs like ♥♥♥♥ on my 9080 microwave, and all of the dishes look like a 5-year-old drew them in Paint Feels cheap, lazy and unfinished. Would not recommend.

I played yesterday. I thought I had finally found a game that would scratch my itch for a cozy cooking game in an italian setting with mechanics that looked appealing, and I wish I could give this one a thumbs up, but when I finally got to play it I was caught off-guard as I realized the characters' voice-overs are AI. Later on, I would learn the cover art is also AI, and so is a good part of the environment decals. This completely defeats the purpose of a cozy game providing you a relaxing experience that makes you forget IRL issues for a moment, and for that, I'm deeply disappointed and dishearntened. I can look past the optimization issues (like the no antialiasing), but the presence of AI is impossible to ignore. Hire a concept artist to rework things appropriately and 2 voice actors with flexible impersonation (or remove the voices entirely since this game doesn't rely heavily on it). You still have time to correct this, if you care enough to make this game reach its true potential. Until then... this is a refund case.

Currently it is impossible to play with friends due to a bug. This had taken the fun out the game for me so can’t recommend it. If they fix it, I’ll update my review but until then it’s a no from me.

In four words: I LOOOOOOOVE this game! In more words: This is exactly what I want in a shop/restaurant simulation game. Absolutely no stress at all! I often buy shop sims that say they are stress-free, only to soon get disappointed when I realize that there are angry customers in the game, long queues in front of my register, or time limits that you need to stick to in order to get good points. I have that in real life, I don't want it in my game. In this game, however, there is none of that! This is a game about a perfect life. A life as a café owner in Italy, where you just decorate your café, talk to nice people, walk around a wonderfully cozy little town that reminds you of real vacation memories, cook good food (that actually looks delicious too!!), and serve it to happy customers. Even if you leave the café for hours (or maybe days), you know that your customers will still be sitting there happily waiting at their tables when you get back. And if you would even find that stressful, you can just turn your café sign to "Closed," and there won't be any customers at all while you're away. I also love that the cooking part is really easy. I don't want hundreds of steps just to make a pizza, or things burning on the stove. I just want to click, click, and it's done, and that's exactly what this game gives you (without getting boring, I might add). It's super easy, but there are still so many different cooking options that it doesn't get repetitive. The graphics in this game are wonderful! It's the perfect mix between reality and fiction. I love that the food looks so good! It's so cozy just strolling around town, meeting people, and going into different little stores. And diving for oysters was a really nice surprise for me, I did not expect that! I have only played this game for a couple of hours since I bought it on release day yesterday, but I wanted to write this to encourage the developers to continue their amazing work! I haven't noticed any bugs or anything to complain about at all, and I look forward to continuing to play and discovering more! I also can't wait to see how far I can go by scooter, since so far I've only been walking around close to my café. What I wish for in the future: To make this the absolute perfect game, I would love to be able to live somewhere in town as well. It would be awesome if I could buy a little apartment or house somewhere that I could get to on foot or by Vespa, decorate it with furniture and decorations from the shops in town, and just live a cozy life between my shifts at the café. I would love to relax on my balcony with a view of the beach, or sit in my little living room (maybe with the cat) and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Please make that happen!! I also hope that I will be able to decorate the office in my café as well. There can never be too much decorating in a game like this! Keep up the good work, guys!

The perfect game for people who want to run a café without developing a stress disorder. I absolutely LOVE this game. It has exactly the kind of cozy, relaxing gameplay I look for in a simulator. No ridiculous timers, no angry customers screaming at me because their pasta took 0.7 seconds too long, just me, my café, some delicious Italian food and the occasional glass of Prosecco. I especially love that you can play completely at your own pace. You can prepare ingredients beforehand, cook dishes when you feel like it, upgrade your restaurant, make your own wine, explore the surrounding areas, and slowly build your café into exactly what you want. And then there are the achievements. I LOVE achievements. If a game has achievements, my brain immediately goes: “Oh, we're getting 100%.” So naturally, I've been trying to unlock every single one. Unfortunately, there is currently one achievement that doesn't seem to work, which is a pretty big deal for an achievement goblin like myself. Hopefully this gets fixed because I NEED my 100%. The achievement? Its the cat, you have a cat... BUT YOU CAN'T PET THE CAT. Please, developers. I have built an entire café, mastered Italian cuisine, made wine and basically become the Gordon Ramsay of vacation cafés. LET ME PET THE CAT. I also think the decorating could use more options. I absolutely love being able to customize the café and my house, but give me MORE decorations. Overall, though, this is a fantastic cozy simulator. It's relaxing, fun, has plenty to do, and actually lets you enjoy the game at your own pace. Fix the achievement: let me pet the cat. Let there be more decorations. Highly recommended!

太休闲了。玩到后面有点无聊。没有地图，不喜欢要走很远的路。感觉价格太贵了，四五十还差不多。真的特别休闲，喜欢有点激情的 还是别买了。会很无聊。做餐过程也没有主厨人生那些细致什么的，感觉一般。除了画风 没有能夸的了。
