FOREVER CAFE
Serve coffee, muffins, danish and croissants in this cafe simulator. Try not to focus on all the rumors and work fast. The customers get angry if you can’t serve them in time. Some impatient patrons will try to rush the counter. Investigate the painting you keep hearing about. Bake pastries without letting them burn. Run outside and restock supplies before it is too late. Can you maintain goodwill and order in your shop or will you lose all the customers?
How to play
Customers will come to the counter with a bubble on top for what item they want. A timed circle around them will indicate how much time is left until they run out of patience. A plain cup indicates a black coffee. Cup +C is a coffee with cream, +S is a coffee with sugar, +CS cream and sugar. Go to the coffee station and check the boxes for cream or sugar, leave both off for black, then click make it. You can hold up to 2 items at a time and some patrons will want 2 items. If you made the wrong item there is a trash bin near the counter. For a customer who wants a bakery item go to the shelf to select the matching muffin, danish or croissant icon.
To bake more items there are 3 stations – freezer, prep and oven. Take the dough out of the freezer bring it to the prep station, select the bakery item to prep the tray and click to put it in the oven. An indication bar will show both in the oven and on the top of the screen. The oven will show when it is ready. Take the items before they burn or you will need to restart the bake.
In the back of the store there are coffee supplies – coffee beans, creamer, and sugar. To resupply these you need to walk all the way outside the front door and bring the items back here to be restocked. Dough for the freezer can also be found outside.
Behind the game
This is a player submitted idea about a cafe that goes on forever. There is no back exit and rumors that you do not know if they are true. There is a mysterious painting. Player requested for everything needed to make caffeine and to prevent customers from getting past the counter. These ideas turned into a realistic barista cafe simulator that included time based tension for baking, restocking, and keeping customers happy. The goodwill system was created and multi item ordering to make the game even more challenging. This player wanted to make the game without leaving a name.

Hints
Bakery items go quick, start baking in both trays right away and keep these items stocked. Don’t let them burn or you waste the batch! A customer who waits too long may rush the counter. If they succeed you will lose 1 of your 3 lives. Standing behind the counter turns them back, but it still costs goodwill. You can turn away a customer by hitting X but you will lose some goodwill. The lower your goodwill, the less patience new customers walk in with. A bad patch makes the next one harder. If goodwill drops to .30 or below, everyone gets mad and the game ends. Goodwill can be regained by serving quickly, or by opening the painting on the wall. It only opens once your goodwill has slipped.
