The verdict
A janky, chaotic cafe sim that's addictive and funny for roughly 5-15 hours, but save wipes, bugs and poor optimization are common. Skip it at full price or if you hate bugs.
Great for
Players who enjoy janky, meme-filled sims and short grindy sessions, bought on a deep discount
Main risk
Saves can be wiped after sleeping and quitting, losing hours of progress
What changed in the last 30 days
7 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mention lost progress after saving and constant thief/bomber attacks wrecking the cafe. Based on few recent reviews, so moderate confidence.
