This is everything I could ask for in a comfy, cozy cafe management game. When my friend asked me to describe it, I said it was a "clickity click click" type of game. It is simple and that is what I love most about it. Nothing ground breaking. No complex mechanics. Just the sound of brewing coffee and the clicks. You click to grind the beans, you click to brew the beans, you click to steam some milk, you click to …

Tailside: Cozy Cafe Sim is a lovely and genuinely cozy shopkeeping game with charming pixel art and an inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, part of that charm is currently undercut by a few questionable design choices and a pacing that feels slightly too demanding for a game that’s meant to be relaxing. That said, it’s still in early access, so there’s plenty of room for refinement. Your customers are adorable …

You unlock new drinks, furniture, villagers, and the occasional very important plushie. It doesn’t try …

Tailside is a cute sim where you make delicious coffee drinks, serve pastries, decorate your café and meet new visitors and creatures along the way. Gameplay & Settings I played the demo for this game quite a while ago and immediately added it to my wishlist. It is quite enjoyable, and has enough to it even right out of the gates in early access to get you started. As you progress and level up your café you will …

I LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH! The moment I started playing, I fell in love with its warm pixel art, relaxing music, and adorable animal characters. I didn’t expect making coffee to become one of my favorite parts, but it really is. I love unlocking recipes and learning how to make different drinks, and I often find myself happily reading the customers’ conversations while making their drinks. I love that you can expand …
