All the small interactive elements were really cool!! I greatly enjoyed being able to bother the characters on the menu screen lol and imagine my surprise when the little cups with characters actually served as a way to access the gallery. Reading through all the different personality variations has been fun and the customization really adds to the experience. My first playthrough i made a choice based on my actual drink preference and have been totally clocked lmao. Florence has caught my eye right away, despite the MC absolutely hating her from the very start. And the friend’s reaction upon finding out that mc has been “dating” this unpleasant barista was priceless. They are just a lady with a strong character that is actually very cute once you get to know her<3 Looking forward to seeing more of the game and getting to know the characters better!

YHANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really worried that Florence was too mean and that people wouldn't like her, so I'm happy to hear she appealed to someone ☺️

The little cups were so hard to code but I needed them badly lol

hihi. i gotta say, i am a HUGE fan of what i saw so far!!! the artstyle is cute, i love the characters (absolutely LOST IT when chaiya scared that creep away with the weirdest acting) and the fake dating story is super interesting! i also gotta say, i GASPED when i realized that the chibis on the title screen also doubled as the cg gallery, that was so cute and also amazing, like, was that an imagemap or something else? also, you really nailed it with the music selections! they really suited the cozy modern feel of the story, and also, i really appreciated the background and coding work! like, sorry if this is weird to say, but i was so impressed by how precise the transition when paola and the mc sat down was, and the backgrounds were super pretty. felt remarkably touched when i saw the pride flag out in the open like that. 

i totally plan on playing more in the future! thank you for submitting this to the jam, i'm so lucky to have been able to play this!!!

OMG thank you so much for playing! I read this aloud to my assistant writer and she thought it was so sweet too ;-;

The CG gallery was one of my favorite additions so I'm glad you liked it! I hope the next updates do the build up justice, this is my first time making a game this big 🥺♥️

haha, glad it made you guys happy! i'm cheering for you guys, you've got a new fan! 

also need to mention. i am struggling so hard to choose a fave love interest. i'm biased towards chaiya because trading card nerd + fellow asian nonbinary, i adore florence's personality, but also. fennick is extremely pretty. you guys have made SUCH lovable characters!

Thank God for save files-

Not my cup of tea (or coffee, should I say?), but the characters are definitely cute and the illustrations are lovely. Keep it up!

That's perfectly fine! Thank you so much for playing and for the nice words ☺️♥️
