Top notch.
Four years of progress and it shows. There's so much content here. Gameplay is unique as far as H-games go and does a great job of making it feel like running a cafe. The UI is a bit overwhelming at first but it's aesthetically pleasing overall. MC and the girls have their own charms and no one's been outright annoying so far. I'm a little sad the character I initially found most attractive is my least favorite archetype, but I've found more than enough comfort in the other girls.
Some feedback:
- The hotkey layout for food/drink is a bit tough to adopt. Even with all the keys mostly memorized, 7 of each food/drink extending out to U/J means the left hand can't stay on ASDF, making hotkey use fairly frustrating.
- It'd be nice to have the important stats (cash, cleanliness, maid energy%) visible on the action menu as well as in the Backrooms menu. In the latter, money is shown but despite being able to move girls around, energy and cleanliness seem to require going back and forth between Chat and Shop respectively.
- An in-game log for both dialogue and cafe events would be awesome. There's been a few times I missed a conversation detail and couldn't go back to fully understand the situation.
Overall, I'm really glad I found this gem. Looking forward to more. Please keep up the awesome work!
