The Game

In Hana's cafe, nobody orders what they want. One guest has a deadline in two hours, another just walked in from the cold. You read the room, pick from the counter, and serve what actually helps. A cozy puzzle game about listening — and about the cafe she dreams of opening in Sapa.

Read the Room

Every guest describes a mood, never a dish. Working out the rest is the game.

Cafe Sapa gameplay — guests seated at tables in the cafe — Gritz
"It's been a long day and I need a second wind. There's a hole in me that has nothing to do with my feelings."

Cafe Sapa — the cafe decorated for a party, balloons and a lit stage — Veiled
"I've lost my friends in this crowd and I'm just standing here. Something to hold, and something to sip, so I look like I'm doing something."

Cafe Sapa — Indian Night, the cafe lit with lanterns and marigolds — Jitter
"It's been a hot, loud night. I want something cool and soft, and prettier than I deserve."

Cafe Sapa — Halloween Night, candlelit tables and pumpkins — Veiled
"Double, double toil and trouble but make it a drink"

Cafe Sapa — Mayor Aldric visits the cafe, red carpet and banners — Mayor Aldric
"I have a long night of judging you ahead. Something strong. Even you can manage that."

What You'll Do

Serve what they need

Not what they ask for. Guests give you a mood; the menu is yours to interpret.

Make it count

Every round gives you a set number of servings, so a careful read is worth more than a lucky guess.

Upgrade an order

Combine what's on the counter with what's in the cabinet — and upgrading never costs you a serving.

No timers

No clock running down. Take the time to actually listen.
