About The Ice Cream Shop

You run a small ice cream shop.
The job should be simple: scoop flavors, serve cones, keep the place clean.
But as the night goes on, the quiet shop starts to feel different.The Ice Cream Shop is a cozy simulation with a psychological horror twist. On the surface, it’s a relaxing night-shift job: taking orders, choosing toppings, and handing cones or bowls across the counter. But your character suffers from an illness — sometimes, the mind shows things that aren’t really there. Are the customers friendly, or threatening? Are the noises behind the shop just the fridge running… or something else?What You’ll Do
  • Make Ice Creams – Prepare cones with multiple flavors or serve simple bowls. Every customer has their own unique tastes and strange habits.
  • Meet Strange Customers – From kids sneaking out at night, to ex-convicts, lonely wanderers, or unsettling strangers. Some are kind. Some are confusing. And some may not exist at all.
  • Face The Unexplainable: Your illness creates shadows, strange sounds, and distorted faces. Sometimes the customer looks weird. Sometimes you see things that shouldn't be there.
Features
  • Cozy Night Atmosphere: Enjoy the quiet night shift.
  • Psychological Horror: A scary story that plays with your mind.
  • Unique Characters: Meet many different and mysterious people.
  • Reality vs. Imagination: Is what you see real?
Why Play?If you enjoy cozy games with simple mechanics but also love the slow-burn tension of psychological horror, The Ice Cream Parlor blends both worlds.
It’s about serving scoops, chatting with customers, and keeping the shop tidy—while questioning your own reality.Sometimes, the night is peaceful.
Sometimes, it isn’t.

Not recommended Jun 2, 2026
I'm not entirely sure why this game has mostly positive, and the only reason I can think is because they haven't played Boba Tea shop which came out before this. It's a 100% rip off of the game with very little of a change except the graphics being 10 times worse. The ending is mildly different, but was a stereo type all together, while still trying to cater toward a big time streamer to get the play. If you're looking to play a game that drags out to the nearly enough so you would get no refund amount (for no reason other than just the slowness of characters), this is great for that.

The rest of the negative reviews are totally right. This is a complete rip-off of The Boba Teashop (which I highly recommend). There's an actual story, gameplay, tension, etc. in that game. This game it's not even fun to make ice cream because you run out of flavors constantly and have to keep running to the back to make more. It gives the illusion of providing more options, but the game is 45 mins long to complete all content (no endless mode) so you don't even get time to explore serving different combinations. It's not scary, the character's story is so shallow and makes no sense. The ending comes out of nowhere and is ridiculous. It's not worth your time, the developer should have left this in the oven longer.

Short, cute for a job horror game, and fun enough while it lasted. The ending was a little ho hum, but better than others in this genre. If you can get it on sale, don't have high expectations, and like cozy horror job sims, give it a go. It was a bit confusing how to get passed the last day without dying over and over, but [spoiler]running into the freezer and shutting the door finally got it to progress.[/spoiler]

This game isn't worth your money. Making ice cream isn't fun, there's too much down time between customers, not even an hour long, and the story is boring.
