    Nobody reads the reviews anyways, so I'll just say I'm gay.

    The English tutorials are very difficult to understand. I had to figure out how to fill a hookah and make a burger through trial and error. The “recipe” gifs don’t show you how to do anything. They just play a quick clip of the finished product, not the steps of how to assemble the item. Items lose a ton of durability (and break) overnight, meaning I have to buy a new broom, hookahs, chairs and trash bin almost every day. I would expect items to only lose durability when used. Replacing these…

    cleaning simulator .. repair simulator .. there's no funny characters and the gambling is low .. the npcs look boring and are the worst, they push you around while cleaning , and they often trap you against furniture, having to close the shop just so i can get to the kitchen really sucks .. the cardboard boxes are boring . you're constantly cleaning emptying the bins and recycling cardboard boxes. this is nothing like internet cafe sim .. there's nothing funny about this game .. i had…

    I kinda love the game, very suit to my playstyle "restaurant, coffee, service, cleaning..." About in game, you don't have to fix furnitures often, just buy a new one, it's cheap! and I wish they add more lights for the night work, it's so dark :( By the way it is a nice game <3 keep going guys <3

    I think it's fun to play. But for me it's more time management than cafe simulator. You have to run all the time and the controls are weird. There are many tasks and it never gets boring. I like it =)

    I REALLY wanted to love this game and recommend it, especially since I've seen some of the developer's other works and they were decent. The game isn't awful. It's a nice little sim with an interesting concept. However, there are a lot of cons to the game that just can't be ignored. As others have mentioned, the tutorials (at least the English ones) are kind of hard to understand and the gifs only help so much. It's not exceedingly hard, but it is confusing enough to be irritating in the…

    Terrible. Doesn't run over 20 frames and way over the requirements for the game. Even when i just say screw it and run it anyway its utter crap. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Update 2025, still doesn't run well and powering through that, there isn't any fun to be had anyway.

    Not a bad game...a bit jank. But it IS under $7 (on sale) as of this writing. With that in mind, its really hard to argue that there isnt $7 (ok $10 at full price) worth of game in here. It's a decent business sim. One of my favorite things about Weed Shop 3 is that you actually cultivate and determine the quality of what you sell. Thats present here in a simplistic form. Will this game revolutionize the industry? No. Win GOTY awards? Nope. But if you dig on the subject matter at all I…

    Its a decently fun game, that lacks a needed inventory, and also has a item breaking system that is pretty useless to the game as a whole. I cant recommend this game till its less tedious, You can hire staff which is nice, but when all your chairs have to be repaired, along with every poster on the wall, and your broom and trash can, it begins to make me wonder if I'm running a hookah shop, or a future item repair storage. The premise is fun, but with the issues of having to re-buy everything…

    The game needs work, it needs some features to make the game more enjoyable, my first hour and half into the game and i served 8 customers money was used up quite quick. carrying 1 item at a time like 10 bottle of liquid or 10 packs of seeds and so on gets a tad boring. repairing 1 item at a time is is bad unless im missing something. the bycle camera feels too low to the road and doesnt turn sharp basically feels clunky. i cant progress the "tutorial" as i havnt been fined this is the link…

    I must say its a pretty good Sim. But it needs more love then it got. There are some cool features and most of them work pretty good. Sadly there are some problems like the game beeing often a bit wonky. The customers sometimes get stuck behind the counter and block your way. The waiter often takes to complex ways instead of doing two things in one go. An the overall gameplay gives you no real reason to go on and achieve something. Still a pretty good game that needs a bit refinement. I can…

    If you like these crappy cookie cutter store management games it might be worth $10, otherwise don't bother.

    I enjoy this game for what it is. The first handful of updates fixed a lot of problems with things such as durability and repair shop location. It's still quite quirky, but enjoyable. I've uploaded my Steam Deck Configuration... with that the game runs well right out of the box on the Deck. No cloud save syncing tho

    It's fun to play for what it is! I really like it. Suggestions for improvement: - add controller support - let me smoke my own hookah! - let me eat my own burger or coffee for energy replenishment - make online orders with delivery pickup option more frequent

    It is a very fun game. - It would be nice to be able to stack things or putting thinks back in boxes. - more worker would be nice. Like a supplier or a manager who also ordern the things that are missing. - some kind of an upgrade would also be very nice. Like another city another bar, a bigger one, more employees doing the same job. Thank you for the game
