    The idea of running your own internet cafe is fun, but the execution is rough in almost every way. Bugs, awkward controls, and inconsistent mechanics constantly get in the way of what could have been an enjoyable management game. It has a few entertaining moments, but they're buried under too much jank and frustration.

    There's NO reason to ever buy this over the 2nd game. Now, I want to judge it individually rather than comparing it solely to the later game in the series, so I'll list what I consider to be the good and bad aspects, starting with the good. POSITIVES Concept: The concept itself is pretty nice. The idea has a lot to explore, and you really can do whatever you want, which is the main point of simulators like this. Freedom: As briefly mentioned before, there's a lot to do, and a…

    The game itself has many ways to frustrate me. First, the UI on the owner's PC looks really weird and unorganized, and there is nothing we can do about it. Second, the QoL is the worst, and there is no one to help you in the store. You can hire a bodyguard to stop a thief, and that's the only help you can get. Buying a chef is just for unlocking food serving. There is no waitress to help, no one to help with cleaning or monitoring, despite all the money I have. Many systems in this game happen…

    Did I 100% it? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely. The game is janky, the main game loop is just buy more arcades and get more money. The thieves are VERY prevalent. There is always a shady guy no matter how many times you beat him with a baseball bat. Your computer gets pop-ups and is hacked and a VERY regular basis unless you pay $500+ every couple of days. The part of the game the devs seemed to have spent the most time working on was the strip club, and even that feels like a mini roblox…

    The game has good potential, but it's extremely unfinished. There are some bugs in it, for example things disappearing or being thrown out of their place and computer getting hacked every 5 minutes for no reason. Also, how come when I leave the place for the night it's nice and clean and then in the morning it's magically full of trash and vomit? Tedious and makes no sense. Feels like the devs just wanted to quickly sh*t out a game and that's it, no love in it. What a boring experience. 4/10

    DEFINTELY avoid this one, at one point I was thinking I may recommend it, but no. Just no. For starters the game is a total glitchy mess and that's what really kills it. Even if you find this on sale for 2 bucks, the game breaks way too much and in way too many ways. The game actually has a bit of charm to it. building multiple PC set ups for renting as well as game console set ups, arcades, it's not a bad loop. It has some silly stuff that's funny. At times it kinda hits that so bad it's…

    A very basic store simulator with little quirks. I did feel it was more like a student final project than a commercial game, the mechanics were easy and the game was very short, you can finish it up to 100% achievements in under six hours. The achievements were also very basic, wish there was more achievements tied to easter eggs or some more challenging ones apart from get rich and buy stuff. I did have fun but unless you get it for super cheap, I dont recommend spending money on this.…

    Feels unfinished, there are a few bugs most annoying one being, when you go back to playing the game all the items just fall over or are all over the rooms then having to replace everything and to put them back in place is a massive drag. I did enjoy the game at the beggining but after that, it got kinda boring, theres not much to do. 5/10 Achievement-wise it's pretty easy to get them all not much of a challange

    Internet Cafe Simulator is way more addictive than it looks — you start playing casually and suddenly hours have passed. Building and managing your own internet café feels really satisfying and well done. The only downside is that after a while it gets pretty repetitive and doesn’t bring many new things to keep it fresh.

    The game is pretty cool, but only for about 5–7 hours, which is enough time to finish almost everything. It has a few bugs, but that’s something to be expected. I did have fun, so in that sense it delivered, but there are games that cost 1–2 dollars and are much better. Still, this game was a big part of my childhood I used to watch it all day. Because of that, I’d give it a score of 7/10.

    Where do i start... I don't know how i got this game but i decided to give it a shot it looked fun. Man oh man, i did a 100% run and i cant recommend this game to anyone. Its clunky and buggy when placing setups and tables randomly jump on specific spots making you have to re-setup everything. Trash spawns every morning and it spawns on certain spots sometimes more of it sometimes less of it, its already annoying that you cant hire a cleaner and have to manually clean it but it also spawns…

    I really want to like this game because the concept of running your own internet cafe sounds fun. The biggest issue for me is the overall controlls. Everything feels rough and unmanaged, from the UI to the way you interact with items. It never really feels satisfying to play. I also found it Insanely boring. it should be able to become more engaging with a rewarding feeling but it has nothing overall positive.

    Just got this game at 90% off (1.45 AUD) and I hate to say it but this game could have been a lot better. For the price paid it's what it is. Saying that, maybe IC 2 is better but I feel the devs have given up on this one. Do you recommend this game? I have an option of Yes or No. Steam needs to put a neutral button on the review pages.

    ❌ Accessibility Review (Reduced Mobility Perspective) I played Internet Cafe Simulator from a reduced-mobility perspective, and unfortunately the accessibility is currently very limited. Main issues encountered: • Mouse sensitivity must be set extremely high to allow comfortable camera movement. • Many actions require repeatedly pressing E, which becomes physically demanding over time. • No alternative interaction method (no simple click option for actions). • No visible accessibility…

    6.5/10. A gloriously janky, absurd, and strangely addictive life/business sim that's equal parts mundane management and chaotic urban survival. It's less about a pristine cybercafe and more about surviving the gritty, comically hostile underbelly of a weird city while selling energy drinks.

    It's not a good game. It's barely a game. The best you can call this game is an early access title. There is not enough variety of furniture. Not enough type of computer or other stuff so people can use. There is only one entrance so it becomes very difficult to move in or out if you need to. It's difficult to fix setup which randomly gets misplaced. There are not enough staff options. For example, I got a kitchen and a chef. I can't pay for a staff to deliver the food. I can't even talk…

Full price is absolutely unforth it, since this game have oblivious issues and probably will never even get any fixes..

    This simulator is pretty basic and probably won't keep your interest for long. The developer seems to have decided to focus on their sequel, Internet Cafe Simulator 2. In this game you'll spend a lot of time sweeping the floor, trying to get the temperature down in your cafe, wondering why the bodyguard doesn't do anything, and trying to rush a food order to a customer before they walk out after about 30 seconds. You'll also spend a lot of time standing around waiting for money to come in.…

    A novel concept in theory, but on paper, this game is riddled with too much jankiness, too many clunky mechanics—this game reeks of streamer bait. You know the kind. The kind that streamers will pick up, fiddle with for a stream or two, then let gather dust in their libraries—or, if they're of a certain persuasion, the type of game they will claim "is why Steam needs quality control, dude!" before they're off to stream the latest few rounds of some AAA multiplayer slop or whatever.

Often times, when setting something on the table, it throws everything else, sometimes setting 2 desk next to each other will mess up the setups. Also, getting off the PC is like a 5 second delay animation, should just exit the PC. Food / snack orders is such a stupid thing to add if every customer is just gunna leave before you can get them the…
