How to play:
You must serve your customers with cups of steaming hot coffee. To do this, you need to make that cup of coffee first. So the first thing you need is to find where your cabinet is. Everything you need to make a cup of coffee is inside your cabinet and the devices such as the coffee grinder and the coffee maker are put next to that cabinet.
You are located in your, kitchen of some sort and this is located inside of a rather big forest park; On the middle back side of it. Turn south and walk a few steps left to step on the gravel, this is the edge of your kitchen area. The cabinet, is located on this edge, slightly to the left (to the right while you're facing south).
While facing south, go right a little bit until you can hear the wooden floor beneath your steps, and then walk forwards until you find the cabinet. This bleeping sound means that you can interact with an object. Open your cabinet, and cycle through your items as you would navigate any menu. To take an item from the cabinet, press enter on that item.
When you take an item from the cabinet, you will hold it in one of your hands. So, obviously, you may not pick more than two items at once. Besides, when you have two items in your hands, you can no longer open your cabinet unless you put one of the items down. If you cycle to the end of the list of the items in your cabinet, you'll notice an option to store the items you are holding inside. This is how you get rid of the things you are holding except for cups; Cups go in the dish washer which is on the other edge of your kitchen area, meaning it's to the left of your cabinet (To the right while you are facing south).
To make a cup of coffee, you need to pick the beans jar from the cabinet. Do this, and press the escape key on your keyboard or the back key on your game controller to close the cabinet as you would close any other menu.
While facing south, move right a little bit to hear "Coffee Grinder" and interact with it. As you can hear, your character pours some beans inside and turns on the device. It will then begin working to grind your coffee beans. While it is doing its job, move back to your cabinet, store the beans jar inside, and pick the coffee jar from the cabinet.
When the coffee grinder finished working, move back to it and interact. Your character pours the ground beans into the coffee jar which lets you pour them into your coffee maker. The coffee maker is located exactly to the left of the coffee grinder (To the right while facing south). Move right a little bit and interact with it. Your character pours some of the ground coffee beans inside the coffee maker, making it ready to make your first cup of coffee. All you need to do now is to put your coffee jar back in the cabinet, take an empty cup from the cabinet and interact with the coffee maker while holding the empty cup in one of your hands. It will begin working, and after a short period, your first cup of coffee is ready.
After a short while, you'll begin hearing someone walk into the park, sit somewhere and a bleeping indicator. This means that you have a customer to serve. Move to your coffee maker, take your ready cup of coffee by interacting with the device, bring it to your customer by navigating towards the indicator and interact with their table to give them their cup of coffee. With each sip they take, you earn reputation points.
If you bring your customer a cup of coffee that has gone cold, or you simply not provide them anything, you'll lose some of your score and reputation. If your reputation reaches 0, you will lose the game. To check the temperature of a cup of coffee, hold it in one hand and check its specific info. You can also check its description however you like (Either by holding it or looking at it while it's put down).
After a customer has finished drinking, you will hear the sound of a coin dropping onto a table and a glassy sound. The former is your score and the latter is their dirty cup. Walk over to their table and pick both up. You will also be hearing an indicator that constantly changes in pitch, this means that a table is gone dirty and needs cleaning.
So there are two things that you need to take care of. First, the dirty cup in your hand. Bring it to the dish washer and simply put it in. It will be gone for good when you do that. Remember though, your dish washer has a capacity and when it reaches that capacity, interacting with it will turn it on. It will be working for a while, making you unable to put your cups inside. After it is done working, it will be empty again, ready for more cups. The dish washer is a means to get rid of your unwanted cups and the dirty cups customers leave behind.
Now, it's time to clean that table. Remember, if a table is left dirty, customers will choose it, but the indicator will not change, you will not be able to serve them anything on a dirty table either (In case you find out if a dirty table has a customer on it).
Go and grab your cleaning cloth from the cabinet, bring it to the table and interact with it. Your character will begin cleaning the table. After a short time, your table is good as new, ready to serve more customers.
Serving your customers will make them reward you with a score depending on how hot of a coffee you brought them and how much you left them waiting. Earning scores will advance your level. The higher your level, the harder it becomes to serve your customers. They will come sooner, and several of them might come to your shop at once!
Each three levels, you will be granted a bonus item in your cabinet which you can use. A list of the bonuses and their attributes is brought in the next chapter.
Once you reach the time limit you chose at the beginning of the game, the game will be over, and your results, if enabled, will be posted to the online service.
Bonuses and Their Attributes:
- Ever-hot Full Coffee Cup: This cup of coffee will never lose temperature
