"There’s nothing like looking out a window on a cold, rainy day, but
Coffee Talk comes close. Out on Jan. 30 for all major gaming platforms,
the game puts you inside the apron of a barista whose shop is only open
past midnight.
The first thing you’ll note about Coffee Talk, beyond the gorgeous pixel
art, is the soundtrack. Mood is king here, and appropriately, the game
lets you set the lo-fi playlist at your establishment.
Beneath that relaxing exterior, however, lies deeply-rooted racial
tensions. Every in-game day, you’re greeted by a newspaper front page
that’s littered with headlines regarding all the fantastical inhabitants
of this world. Here, everything from dwarves to elves are real — and
each one comes with its own politics and viewpoints, most of which will
become obvious as you speak to your customers."
Via Muse, who wrote "ZOMG! I think I want to play this! And it’s set in
Seattle!"
