A downloadable game for Windows

The Corner Cafe drifts through quantum space. It appears before those who need it.
As a consequence, the cafe is home to an eclectic assortment of beverages, patrons, and stories.

Corner Cafe is a simple visual novel/idle game that lives in the corner of your screen.
Serve your patrons toasty drinks during winter and cold refreshers during summer.
Upgrade your shop's status and earn even more ingredients to establish yourself as not just a cozy space, but also a master of the brew.

If you plan to review other games as well, we recommend playing them while ours runs in the background!
After all, CornerCafe is meant to live in your corner as you go about your day.

You'll know a visitor has arrived when you hear a bell ring.

Become familiar with your diverse cast of regulars, drink by drink, as they reveal more about their daily lives and struggles.
Experiment with the drink creation system to discover new and hidden favorites.

This project was my first in Godot. I am an experienced programmer, but I had Claude available to provide specific feedback to my questions of how to use GDScript effectively for my own learning. I personally coded everything from scratch. Once the foundation was made, I did ask Claude Code to examine the project for bugs, and then I would patch them up. All other aspects of the game were lovingly crafted by human hands. (Short answer: no assets were made through Gen AI)
