Coffee Talk Episode 2 Review A Cozy Night Shift Worth Returning To
The first time I played Coffee Talk Episode 2 I had no thought of it drawing me in as it did. I believed that it would be another cold game to spend time before going to sleep. Instead it was a silent night ceremony. This sequel is familiar but also deeper in emotions and this is what is special. It is not noisy or glitzy but one that you will remember even after you have shut down the game.
What The Game Is About
Coffee Talk Episode 2 puts you at the counter of a small late night cafe in a fantasy form of Seattle. You are serving drinks to humans elves and other creatures all of whom enter with personal issues. No enemies to overcome. No scores to chase. Your primary duty is to listen and serve drinks and say the right thing occasionally.
Conversations are the magic in the game. Characters discuss the fear of identity and loneliness and hope. The fantasy environment makes these subjects seem less hard and more sincere. It seems like hearing real people despite the fact that they are not real.

Do not rush the dialogue. The difference between this game is that it is better when you take your time to read what people are saying.
Have a little aide memoir of recipes. Although there is no penalty system associated with the game in case of making errors, remembering the combinations makes you feel more attached to the café.
Play at night if you can. With low lights and wearing of headphones, the environment is ideal. It really adds to the mood.
Errors of the Amateurs.
Most of the new players jump over dialogue. That takes away fifty percent of the experience.
