Dark Roast Cafè
Thank you so much for interest in this prototype! ♥️ I'm planning to work on the idea more, so expect updates in the future!
Good news: you've finally opened your dream establishment, a cozy cafè in a decent part of Hell.
Bad news: you borrowed some money to buy it, and debt collection day is soon.
Summon demons to help you run your business, and work yourself to boost their performance. Decorate the interior, keep the place tidy and pick the best employees to fulfill your customers' needs!
Game made for Ludum Dare 55 (Theme: Summoning) in 72 hours!
This was my first solo game jam! I made most of the things from scratch (outside of some textures and images edited from Freepik and OpenGameArt, and sound effects from Pixabay). Tools used:
- Godot 4.2
- GarageBand (music)
- Photoshop, Procreate (art)
What I didn't have time to do: more items to decorate and events to mess with you - if people like this game, I can build up on that!

Something is happening where the game's graphics are only taking up about 1/4 of the canvas on web. Chrome, MacOS with M1 chip. Fullscreen and resizing the window have no effect on this.
Is it supposed to go this fast?
great
This happened when I bought a table that I didn't have room for and now demons are sitting off the map.
ahh this game is lovely! I do have a few small things that i think could improve the game. itd be nice to know what the heart, brain and lightning actually do. I know it makes the workers work faster but the specific details be nice to know haha. oh and this may just be a me problem, but i had some hard time reading the numbers and seeing the distinction between 0 and 8, and 7 and 1. Again, might just be a me thing though!
The game play itself was really nice and cozy. I love the idea of summoning demons to work for you and switching them around to work wherever you want, and the option to work yourself too is a nice way to save money! The art style of the music is super cute and delightful and the demons are adorable.
What are "heart", "brain" and "lightning" icon stats?
clicking tables when open breaks the game
That was really fun! I left it running and amassed tens of thousands of currency... I ran out of room to put tables! I love the grumpy looking demon-employees too, very cute.
Cute little game with lots of protentional :)
in this build, cashier character with good speed is a ready-made cheat combo to get insane numbers :') I'm working on an expanded version of this game right now that will eliminate similar loops, thank you for reporting!
Uhhhh I think I broke it-
Basically on the last day, everything started speeding up and then it crashed, not sure what happened tbh
Good find, thank you! I'll look into what might've caused that, I think the bug stems from a cashier character role loop that often results in wild numbers!
I don't know how I broke the game and I'm sorry
I did the same thing...
The game has a lovely style to it, and the gameplay is adequate. I still don't fully understand what the stats do but that is likely on me.
i don`t know how, but i think i broke the game somehow...
I couldn't figure out how to serve a customer. I filled all the roles, but nothing was happening.
Hey! It's probably because you haven't bought a table! You need at least one more table to start serving your customers. Tutorial says it, but it's my bad for forcing player action to start the game loop, should've put the first table there by default :)
this was actually really fun and cute! I'd 100% play a bigger version of this game!
I was able to play one of the middle builds, playing the final version I am happy to say the game went from good to fantastic! I'm excited to see the difference between a 3 day marathon build and an expanded release! Cozy fun little game!
First of all, congratulations, making a game from scratch in such a short time is impressive! 😱
The concept is great, I love the aesthetics, the mechanics are simple but work very well and the music... fits perfectly.
It would be interesting to see the evolution of this project.
Great job!👏
I love the cozy music, the color scheme and all the little ghost's unique personalities and faces. The vibes are immaculate.
Woot! Cat-Boii Extraordinaire Wins AGAIN!
