A washed-up college dropout takes a job at a quirky seaside café, only to find his mundane life upended by quirky coworkers and a hidden passion for nurturing local talent—uncovering secrets that could save the town or drown him in regret.
A Slice of Life with Hidden Depths
1. Dual-Layered Gameplay: Balance café management—crafting signature drinks, upgrading decor, and hiring staff—with character-driven stories. Every interaction influences Naoya’s relationships and the café’s reputation.
2. Dynamic Relationships: Two heroines, Aoi (cheerful waitress) and Rina (mysterious pianist), hide secrets tied to the café’s legacy. Unlock confiding moments through personalized dialogue choices and mini-games.
3. Twists in the Tide: Uncover a fading town’s mystery—declining tourism, a family feud, or Aoi’s hidden musical talent—through exploration and eventful festivals that blur work and personal stakes.
Craft Your Destiny, One Latte at a Time
1. Skill-Based Customization: Train Naoya in brewing, baking, or music to unlock unique perks. A master barista might brew a drink that heals Aoi’s stage fright; a pianist could help Rina reclaim her lost melody.
2. Branching Storylines: Choices ripple across seasons. Prioritize the café’s growth, romance pursuits, or town restoration—each path risks unintended consequences, like Aoi’s departure or Rina’s reclusive tendencies resurfacing.
3. Visual & Musical Immersion: Stylized watercolor visuals shift with moods; dynamic soundtracks blend café chatter, piano melodies, and ocean waves. Collectible “memory fragments” reveal hidden character arcs.
Ethical Dilemmas & Community Impact
1. Moral Trade-Offs: Use underhanded tactics to boost profits (e.g., overworking staff) or prioritize kindness—even if it bankrupts the café. Will you exploit Aoi’s talent for fame or protect her well-being?
2. Town Revival Challenges: Partner with locals to revive festivals or sabotage rivals. Each decision affects the community’s trust and the protagonists’ loyalty.
3. Secret Endings: Discover if Naoya rediscovers his dreams through the café—or loses himself in others’ lives. Hidden routes reveal Aoi’s family ties or Rina’s connection to a long-lost musical legacy.
