About Cryptid Coffeehouse

Everyone's heard of Mothman– the big, scary, feathery moth creature that haunts around the outskirts of Point Pleasant, West Virginia– but no one's ever heard of it like this! In some random idyllic Midwestern town, you meet Artemis (aka Mothman) at your favorite coffee shop and begin an agonizingly slow burn romance with them.
  • Go around town, explore different locations, and meet sexy humanized versions of all your favorite cryptids and fantasy creatures
  • Custom pronoun options that allow you to use multiple pronoun sets as well as input your own neopronouns
  • Have the freedom and ability to say no to anything without it negatively impacting the characters' view of you or the story itself, creating a comfortable and welcoming experience
  • See your relationship with Artemis grow and progress over the course of thirteen weeks and get to choose what kind of physical contact you have with them
  • About 152,000 words and 7-9 hours of playtime
  • It's a queer, slow burn, coffee shop AU like what's not to love!!!!!

Cryptid Coffeehouse is a very casual, slice-of-life game about living in the American Midwest, meeting new people, and developing feelings for someone. It's a game about relationships and the importance of consent, permission, and respect in those relationships, especially relationships that are between stages. And, as corny as it sounds, it's a game about being yourself.

Content warnings: swearing, mentions of recreational alcohol & marijuana consumption, sexual tension, and a lot of kissing ;)

Cryptid Coffeehouse is a cosy management and simulation game that combines running a café with meeting mysterious supernatural customers. Players take on the role of managing a coffeehouse, preparing drinks, interacting with unusual guests, and discovering the stories behind the creatures that visit. The biggest strength of Cryptid Coffeehouse is its charming concept. Mixing a relaxing café simulator with cryptid-themed characters gives the game a unique identity. Instead of simply serving normal customers, players get to interact with strange and memorable creatures, making the experience feel more personal. The atmosphere is one of the game's strongest features. The cosy coffeehouse setting, creative character designs, and relaxed pacing create a comfortable experience that is easy to enjoy. It focuses more on charm and storytelling than stressful management. The character interactions are another highlight. Learning about each cryptid, discovering their personalities, and seeing their individual stories unfold gives the game a sense of progression beyond just running the café. The gameplay is simple and accessible. Players can focus on serving customers, improving the coffee…

MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME!! The whole story but especially the characters are imbued with such heart you can't help but fall in love with all of them. The ambience is amazing, the progressions is a perfect mix of eventful but slowburn-esque, and I enjoy it every single playthrough. Absolute cinema everyone say thank you Nukes

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?
