CoffeeBiz Tycoon

It's a real cute little game, but the developer keeps saying he's working on it about once a year, but there hasn't been an update in more than like 2 years now? Don't buy it expecting much, or for it to ever be finished.

Original review from 11/2022: I bought this years ago in early _early_ stages. Didn't like it much, but kept it to wait and see what happens with it. What's happening is, the dev keeps disappearing for months at a time, to come back to promise stuff, just before disappearing again. Bummer. Know what this is in case you want to buy it. Edit 4/2024: There has been no activity on this early access project since 6/2021.

CoffeeBiz Tycoon, developed and published by The Sociopath Software, is a business simulation game that centers entirely on the intricacies of running a coffee enterprise. Rather than presenting a light, casual management loop, it positions itself as a detailed economic simulator where strategy, planning, and careful financial control determine success or failure.

Different areas of the city offer varying levels of demand and competition, and understanding these dynamics becomes the first test of business acumen. From there, players must acquire essential equipment, manage inventory, and set product prices carefully. Coffee quality, service speed, and pricing are all interconne…

I`ve been playing this game since last year and I think It`s absolutely amazing! you have an opportunity to feel like an entrepreneur without real risks! btw i really love my small business Thanks to developers and can`t wait to become a billionare!

I feel like this game does not get the credit it deserves, sure it is hard as a management game but in contrast to all the other games i found it just the right amount of difficulty for me. Money is hard to come by but still it does not feel like a constant grind. The idea is nice, the design is nice and it is not as empty as a barista simulator.

I love coffee ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ and tycoons 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
