the game was really really cute!! Artemis is pretty similar to me in both looks (though im not a moth person) and personality and while you'd think that's not ideal in a dating sim, I still adored them <3 It felt really good to see a character like myself!! (especially as the love interest)!!! <333333
The best dating sim game I have ever seen spent the last 3-4 days playing it just finished it's amazing. Now I just compare everything to this game it's the best. Artemis is just amazing. Don't know if you'll ever add more, but meeting Diane one day would be cool. Maybe just extra stuff like everything amazing in this game I swear. If anyone knows games like this reply to this so I can play whatever game you recommend me.
THIS GAME HAS SAVED ME- I have spent the last 3 days trying to look for a dating sim like this, so this is quite literally a dream come true. The fact the game's good makes this all so much better-
this game is actually adorable, everything about it is so cute.
also, kurou is so aiskljgaskjhdfskj hes so well written! and thats an understatement itself. part of me wishes he had his own game... still everything is so amazing. your hella underrated bffr
Nukes I have played this game at least ten times, oh my gods I fall more in love with Artemis everytime I open the game, this visual novel is absolute perfection and I love the discord server as well. Everything about this game is comforting and welcoming (as well as the fandom) and this game has helped me through some rough times, I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll be recommending this game to everyone I know. -Aster from the discord server (the one who made Artemis yippee)
HAHAHA omg you know this is actually a VERY common sentiment. people love odina so much and so do i!!! i've been wanting to make a game about her for a while and i have a pretty good idea for one soooo :P we will see hehehe
This story takes you on a journey full of light hearted yearning after a coffee meet-cute. I cannot express how lovely this is. Thank you for creating it. I hope to see more of your games ♡
This is one of the best visual novels I've ever played!! Literally I was so close to tearing, it's both so adorable and nicely done, I like everything about this game aaaaaa <333333333
thank you so much for playing!!! i appreciate it so much <333 and hahahaha omg no way, its always so fun to see when people recognize the scenes in the game hehehehe
omg no i swear its not the end HAHAHAH it was going to be when i first released this update, but i'm actually in the process of writing three new story events that FINALLY close out the game :^) those events explore u and artemis' relationship as a couple which is super cute LOL but i won't spoil too much hehehe
I was absolutely hooked, the progress with our relationship with Artemis felt so genuine! I really did feel like I was the main character in this game unlike other dating sim games. I truly fell in love with Artemis’s character. (Also their design rocks!!)
wahhh im so happy you felt this way!! ^-^ i've worked so hard to not only make the slow burn feel natural but also to make the player character someone that a lot of people would be able to understand and relate to. it's always so insanely satisfying to know that i've succeeded hehehehe. and thank u!!!! im actually in the process of redesigning all of the sprites from the game for the new 3.0 version i'm creating so hopefully u feel the same about artemis' new sprite :P <3 much love!!
im so happy you liked the game omg!!! <3333 i definitely do plan on making more games like this hehehe ^-^ i have one more update planned for cryptid coffeehouse (hopefully coming out sometime this spring/early summer), and then after that i've got a very exciting kurou game im going to be working on :P by popular demand HAHAHA
now although I didn't get that far in I loved it but unfortunately, every time I try to save it closes the game, I was wondering if that might have been a problem for other players and if there was a way to fix it?
i`ve already came back to this game couple times... i love this with my whole heart! Artemis is the best, and the game itself so comforting and cute to me. The way dialogues are written is very sensual and realistic, so i can`t help but remembered my first crush... So, thank you! Cryptid Coffeehouse is magical ❤
wahhh no thank YOU!!!! <3 your playership means so much to me and the fact that you've played the game multiple times really warms my heart :pleading_emoji: i'm so happy that the game resonates with you and feels realistic, it's always so wonderful to hear that. thank you so much!! <3
oh my god this was such an adorable game!! I loved Artemis so much and the option to put in your own pronouns?? absolutely wonderful. i am in love with both artemis and mordag the designs are so good
thank you omg!!!!!!! im so happy everyone loves the custom pronoun options :^) it makes me so happy that ppl are feeling included becoz like... i struggle so much with not having multiple pronoun sets in games and i really wanted to eliminate that with cryptid coffeehouse. and HAHA OMG IM SO GLAD YOURE A MORDAG FAN shes so underrated thank u for giving her the love she deserves <3
literally comfort game number one. i love this game so much its unreal. first downloaded it in february and i think ive played through it at least 7 times since then. i just love artemis so much. loveliest little dude. absolutely amazing game <333 also i made a playlist for Artemis :O
awwww :') thank you so so much. i'm so happy that this game brings u so much joy and this comment brings me just as much joy!!! i will be streaming ur playlist hehehe i've already shared it with the discord and i'm sure a lot of other people will be streaming as well :P<3 much love!
I am officially obsessed with this game, it is so neatly packaged and tells a great story with some amazing pacing. The romance didn't feel rushed which I was so grateful for, but it wasn't agonizingly slow to build either. Artemis is ADORABLE and just so !?!?! there are no words for them, just all the good things. I have almost never been so fond of a love interest in a game, they are just the greatest and so sweet, and I cherished every tender & silly moment. I now have to come to terms with the fact that there is no local mothman to have a coffee shop meet-cute with :') Thank you to the developer!! I had so much fun playing.
I was extremely surprised, confused, and a little scared that many of the background images were eerily nostalgic. Did some quick google searches and realized that I was not wrong in my feeling. Many of the images were places near my hometown that I have visited frequently. The most obvious one was the background of the little shops on State Street from Saint Joseph, MI. The fact that the scenes took place in familiar locations made the story much more personal!
This game accompanied me throughout the summer nights and the first trimester of my senior year , HAS BEEN MY LITERAL SAFE SPACE and i wanted to wish those who worked on the game happy holidays and a happy new year <3 . Thank you for making life more bearable <3. i will manifest good hair,skin and mental health for everyone during 2023 AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME.
this is literally the cutest game I have ever played. I enjoyed the story and replaying the game to do every option. 10/10, I would recommend playing!! <3
GHCFGVGU omg this game is so good!!!! and it's really cute I love the music and the characters I've been playing for what feels like 2 hours or so and it's amazing 100/10!!!
I am devastated. Those were easily the best five of so hours of my life. I thought my face will split in half with how much I was smiling. One of the greatest games I tried, literally perfect. Nice, relaxing atmosphere, incredibly lovable cast from the one and only Artemis (who now owns my heart and may keep it forever) to any minor character. They are so diverse and so-so-so charming, every single one. The romance is paced nicely, the game and the characters are always asking your consent and giving you control. Artemis is, once again, a massive sweetheart, and game gives you lots of opportunities to give them some love. In general there are a lot of options and game keeps track of them nicely, be it MC's tastes or how certain scenes played out or even what form of physical affection MC frequents (judging by the variations in Artemis' dialogue when you kiss them on the cheek for the first time. implemented kiss count? goty). All in all, Cryptid Coffeehouse was a very relaxing, warm and satisfying experience, which I know for sure I'll come back to when I crave comfort and I know it'll deliver. The only flaw I see is that it ends, but eh it had to happen and while it lasted it was incredible.
i have so much to say about this game, gods. first of all, its got some visibly queer representation, and its done so casually it makes me, a trans man all fuzzy inside.
secondly, this game is so good at personalizing your experience. you get to make little choices that dont affect much, but meant so much to me as a player! like, the fact i got to CHOSE my outfit??? AND they had options both fem, androgynous, and masc?? over the MOON.
thirdly, this game actively asks your consent every time. EVERY. TIME. so often dating sims dont ever consider consent and it literally made my night that this game did.
finally, this game makes me feel warm. i'm a queer person in a deeply conservative town, and in a place where my trauma makes it hard to trust people. fiction is where i'm able to experience connection without fear. this game made me think of what i WANT my life to look like. its warm, safe. my main concerns in life are simple and easy. i have just enough money to buy a good coffee, or a nice wheel of cheese for myself. my friends and i live in comfy, well decorated homes and the getting along is easy. even the hard stuff, is easy, domestic. like, your close friendships are so well written that they genuinely made me emotional because i kept thinking of my best friend since 1st grade whom i now live several hours away from. i kept thinking about how similar it is to how we spend our time together when we're able to see eachother, and how when i move to the big city and she's my roomie, how we'll get to have all these kinds of adventures.
this game is more than just a silly little dating sim. this game is about experiencing an ideal life, full of good coffee, good friends, and a partner that genuinely adores you.
this game made me cry. not because its made me sad, but because it gave me an experience i cannot wait to have for real. it allowed me to live my ideal life for just a few hours. it made me feel loved, both platonically, and romantically.
this game made me feel safe.
thank you SO fucking much for that.
also i need a trapping naruto shirt so badly i think i may die without possessing it.
I am obsessed with replaying this game over and over and replaying the same comments for the sweet ending. I keep replaying the ending I swear it is so frigging cute! I would mark this infinity and beyond out of ten the characters are so cute. I love Mordag, she's baby. Kurou's cute he temper baby. Odina is so frigging classy and I love her, Kolia is so cool and sleek I wish I was her and Artemis is definitely my type and their character just puts me in awe. I wanna say thankies to the creator, the artwork and storyline is snazztastic I am pretty much craving for more!!! Thank you for such an amazing game!!! <3
