Coffee Talk

If indulgent contemplation is your ideal way to unwind, not only are we kindred spirits, but you’ll also love Coffee Talk. In this game, creatures of all stripes—vampires, werewolves, girls with blue hair—share their problems with you: a barista and good listener. Relish in the safe sunset of the game’s fictional take on Seattle in 2020 while preparing frothy lattes and spiced teas for your customers and friends.

You might particularly like this game if you have some barista experience yourself, as Harper Jay did in a 2020 Kotaku review. They wrote that the game reminded them of time spent advising any “stranger who somehow felt comfortable enough to tell you something that’s probably way too personal. You tell them how it is, even if you have no fuckin’ clue, and then you make them a flat white.” Coffee Talk lets you soak in the most comfortable, relaxing aspects of café culture without any rude customers or coworkers, but like a real mug of chai, this game might be enjoyed best on a rainy night.
