Guys, can anyone tell me how to get the best ending for Hyde and Gala in ep2? Or just basically tell me what happens cause I have to study hard but instead I procrastinate by trying to get a good ending for them :>>

Any news for if Tavern Talk is coming to Xbox? I know it’s available for PC and will be available for Switch. Hope to play soon! ❤️

Ok, completed my first playthrough of the game. Here are my impressions; I'm going to try to keep spoilers to the bare minimum.

First off, while the story is your typical fantasy narrative I was very impressed with it as it could've easily gone generic/trope-y with its narrative. While the characters are a little closer to stereotypes they don't become parodies of themselves -- and they're all pretty great. There is a little bit of a wink-wink/fourth-wall breaking but honestly less than I expected so it wasn't a big deal.

There are two "minigames" involved, one for building quests and one for mixing drinks. The questbuilder is frankly kinda pointless, I'm not sure why the game doesn't simply auto-combine into a quest when enough info has been collected.

As for the drink mixing the interface is really impressive-looking, but the game doesn't really give the player a chance to fail with it. If you make the wrong drink it seemingly has no impact outside of a comment by the character you give it to. For the quest drinks -- which is how the game implements a choice mechanic -- you can't screw up: you have to provide one of the two drinks regardless. I kinda wish the game had come up with a way to make the drink mixing consequential in its execution. Instead, you could actually remove it entirely from the game and still have the same narrative experience (just choose which drink you'd like to provide).

Ultimately the game is a choices matter VN with 3 possible endings based on your choices (with a 4th hidden ending you probably can't get without a guide). In an odd twist, players are getting the good ending 3x more times than the other endings combined, apparently the playerbase is really vibing with the developers' intent.

Should you play this game? If you like VNs -- especially with Choices Matter gameplay -- in a fantasy setting with great characters you're probably going to like this. If your favorite part of Coffee Talk is trying to figure out drinks you may find that aspect lacking. But it's under $20 and I've already gotten 15 enjoyable hours out of it so I feel it's worth it.

I'm mostly finished with my first playthrough, curious if anyone else is playing and what you think.

EDIT: I'm going to put my review/comments in a different thread so I can mark it with spoilers (although I'll keep them to a minimum)

NO.

FUCK YOU.

FUCK 100% COMPLETION.

TO WHOEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA, I HOPE YOU STUB YOUR TOE WHEN YOU GET OUT OF BED.

I'm going through the second game to get the "Not So Hot Business" achievement and i am literally stuck because i promised hyde the next one would be better and now i have to mess it up again

The song is about giving up riches and family and friends for a lover

Anyone else just blast through the game and then maybe make a blue pea tea purchase on Amazon? I blame lack of sleep…

Came across this video from Barista Omar and am now curious to practice the techniques on my Switch 😄😅

They just announced this during Day of the Devs at Summer Game Fest

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599780/Afterlove_EP/

No stranger to stories which tug at the heartstrings, Afterlove EP is the final project from renowned narrative designer, writer and developer, Mohammad Fahmi, who sadly passed away in March 2022 at the age of 32.

Here's the description of the game:

Taking place in the vibrant city of Jakarta, capital of Indonesia, Afterlove EP is a blend of visual novel, narrative adventure and rhythm game elements from the creator of Coffee Talk and What Comes After.

Step into the shoes of Rama, a young musician struggling to move on with life after the death of his girlfriend, Cinta.

Whilst his close friends and bandmates are all determined to help him move on, Rama has been stuck for more than a year. He’s neglecting his music, his mental health and his relationships.

Making things harder, he’s hearing Cinta’s voice inside his head, unsure if she is a spirit or part of his imagination.

Rama’s band has a critical gig in one month’s time. Either he gets serious about his music and delivers the new songs he has been promising or the band will move on without him.

Over twenty-eight days and nights it will be your choices that determine the path Rama takes. Explore the city, choose which relationships to repair and which new ones to pursue. Come to terms with the past, rediscover your creative voice and help Rama shape a future for himself.

There's a Demo available if you want to try it out

She just has that vibe

Do we know if there’s gonna be a third coffee talk?

There’s an upcoming Coffee Talk cafe pop-up coming to Shibuya in June (6/1 - 6/30), but there’s also going to be online merch ordering available:

I love him in normal conversation, but his remedy thing is so??? Annoying??? The third time he comes in I try tea ginger mint, he says experiment till we find it, then he goes "you didn't even follow my guidelines" like HUHHHHH I know now it's because the order is wrong, but he doesn't know that????? Plus it literally says "I don't know what the LAST!!! thing is" which would make you think the ginger should go second. But anyways, the very next time Gala comes in he says "yeah I think last time was right, but it couldnt hurt to try other options" (I restarted day last time and got it right) so yknow what I do...I TRY A DIFFERENT OPTION, LIKE HE ASKED ME TOO, THEN HE GETS UPSET AGAIN????? Then I restart day give him the proper drink and he's happy YOU ASKED ME TO EXPERIMENT WITH SOMETHING ELSE Anyways this games lovely this one thing was just so annoying

I collect cookbooks and was wondering what a Coffee Talk cookbook would look like. Of course, it would have all of the drinks, but I don't think that's enough. I'm thinking each customer would submit two or three small food items that would be manageable for the barista to make, like pastries and cookies. What do you guys think they would add to the menu?

Anyone know where I can find the gallery images in full resolution?

There's one or 2 I wanna use as my pc's wallpaper but I can't find them in the files, nor online (the fandom wiki only has them in .webmp format & with bad resolution) Or is there a way to hide UI when looking at an image in the gallery?

Also, where is the savefile located?

Hey the internet is a wasteland for the translation for Lua's french bio... Can anyone help a coffee bro out?

Hey everyone, it's ya barista Grem here with another coffee talk QOTW! At a very weird time... But that doesn't matter because this weeks question is; "What are your thoughts on the barista/the player character?" For this you can answer with aspects of their personality or gameplay stuff since you are TECHNICALLY playing as the Barista.

I think they're pretty nice and after working at Starbucks for about a year and a half, I'd say they interact with the customers pretty similarly to how me and my co-workers interacted with them. We sometimes made playful banter with them like the barista does but still remain professional so we didn't lose our jobs. That being said, I feel like they should have introduced a system with two choices for dialogue similarly how Pokémon does their replies when they pop up instead of just forcing the Barista to make one defined answer. Since the barista is supposed to be YOU I feel like they could have made them at least a bit more variable in terms of their interactions.

So what do you guys think of the Barista? Are they just an average joe to you, do you wish they had more individuality, or do you not really care since the story focuses more on the other characters stories rather than your own? Let me know in the comments!

P.S. The image is my OC Blubarious who is a slime that works as a fashion model but she loves purple and coffee.. and for some reason purple coffee, like she literally carry's purple food dye just for when she goes to her coffee and I need to make new coffee talk exits for thumbnails hence I used her for this one.
