Game Description
Enjoy your morning coffee while getting ready for work!
How does your game tie into the theme?
The coffee machine is cursed, growing in size, and asking for odd things before requiring a sacrifice at the end.

Well, that was a neat representation of my morning. Don't like coffee but still drink it by the thousands to stay up. Really nice horror story, nicely done.
Welp, off to get a new cup 'o coffee

Immortal PlightThe start buttons did not work in firefox, so I switched to chrome. Had some small issues with the coffee machine model, but thats not a big deal. The game is not only relatable (until the last day) but also tells a cool story. The voice acting is cool, and I also feel like you did a good job on the music. Great entry!

The Sinking CastleGodot 4.0 web exports require a particular header that only Chromium based web-browser implement at the moment, so that’s why it didn’t work, unfortunately!
I tried so many things to ensure the coffee machine model always shows, but I just cannot nail it down! That and the curtains for some reason!
Sarah did an amazing job on the music, she’s an extremely skilled composer, and I’m super lucky she chose to work with me!
And thanks, it was my first time voice acting, I’ll have to keep it up!
Thanks so much for playing!
Awesome visuals! especially during the ending sequence, really good job with the lighting! The audio in general was great too. The voice acting and quality were very professional, and the eerie music really complemented the atmosphere!
Great job!

You Want A Piece Of Me?Thank you so much! A lot of the audio I recorded myself, including my coffee machine and shower!
It was my first time voice acting, but everyone has been telling me it was good, so I might have to keep going with it.
In my opinion, the music absolutely sets the atmosphere, Sarah did an amazing job.
Thanks so much for playing!
Awesome immersive experience, thanks for this! My only thoughts for improvement are to have a audio adjustment menu for during the game, not just at the start, and maybe make the beans less low poly. I love how the 3D models are sized just right, you got the realism down! Here’s my gameplay/reaction video: https://youtu.be/PxX-OjUUwb0

The Sinking CastleYeah, the beans kind of got away from me into the PS1 era style of low-poly!
So, it does have an in-game menu, but it’s linked to the ‘M’ key. Thinking back on it, I should have had a flag to check whether it was the web version and change it to M then, and kept it ESC for PC exports. Ah well, next time!
Thanks so much for playing!
Great sound design and atmosphere - its really good how it slowly builds. I like all the little touches of things slightly going south like the bone container and phylactery renames.

Mind your Ps are QsOH MY WORD. If you're reading this before playing Morning Coffee, remember these 3 things:
1. if you mix red and green, you get yellow
2. if you're having trouble, just quit
3. PLAY TO END OF THE **** GAME.
Love love loved this story.

Hell HQ: War Management SimulatorGreat job! I really like the narrative approach you took this game in. One of the most complete stories I've seen this Jam. Also cool to see a game with voice acting in it!
Submitted
Cursed Treasurethat ending tho... very nice.
as a note, the game is very laggy at various times.

A Snowman's ChanceWhat the heck did I just play... an amazing game is what hahaha
Was wondering how the blood in the logo/thumbnail would be involved and now I understand! Enjoyed starting to make my coffee before leaving for work so that it was ready when I woke up the next day/week (cold but hey, still coffee) and having a few showers hoping for some more quality voice acting hahha
Loved seeing the environmental design change over the days/weeks of work with the growing need for caffeine, it really helped in motivating me to continue playing. Having to refill water/empty grinder were great additions and of course how the game eventually progresses was unexpected but very enjoyable.
Played in browser and experienced a few models not rendering in including the coffee machine exterior unless I was standing directly in front of it but otherwise the models were all very well suited and your use of lighting to guide the player was very well done. Oh and one tiny bit of feedback on the UI, I think the pop-up text needs a background colour as while looking in the sink for example I initially couldn't see the text saying to refill so I looked around for a while! But that's all for changes in my opinion!!
Amazing game and entry, thanks for making this curse of a game hahhaa
Submitted
The Cursed CursorWhat a fantastic review, thank you!
My debut as a voice actor, remember this red letter day!
I don’t know why sometimes the models render fine, and others don’t in HTML 5, it’s a touch frustrating!
I took on your advice about the text, and added outlines to all of them!
Thank you so much for playing!
*Oh, an adorable life sim. I'll check this out.*
*Oh no.*
Great parable! I got Vanilla Sky vibes. Kafkaesque!
I didn't get to finish. Somewhere along the line it got very laggy for me. After I went through a blue zone to the right of the coffee machine. I wasn't sure if that was part of the gameplay or a glitch.

Cursed by HindsightBahaha. This game triggered all the Nopes I had in me. 10/10 for creeping me out, I loved it. Superb and unique entry!
Submitted
Impish WinzeThis game is named "The Coffee Parable" in my head. :D Absolutely loved the concept and the execution was pretty good, too! Especially for Godot 4 in the web, well done! Time to get another 10 cups of coffee for me! Edit: forgot to mention that I absolutely love the image you used for this on itch, very clever and intriguing.
Submitted
Impish WinzeNice atmosphere, the environnement evolution was really interesting but for some reason I can't make coffee during day 3 so wasn't able to finish the game :/
Submitted
Expelemalum - Jam versionThanks, I was quite proud of how I made the environment evolve over time!
It’s a shame something went wrong during day 3! There’s only a couple of interactions - refilling the water in the sink and emptying the grounds into the bin. If you did those two things, then it’s totally broken and I have no idea how to help, sorry.
Thanks so much for playing!
Neat idea. I love these exploration style puzzle games. Afraid I wasn't able to finish. I got to the point where I had to replace the coffee beans collector and I was just opening and closing it over and over again. Not sure if that's a bug or if I'm missing the puzzle there. Anyway, nice artwork!
