- Demo Update #03 - 19 April 2025
Hi everyone, The third patch of the demo is here, and here's what to expect in-game: All-new box system - The aim is to overcome many of the problems of the previous system, such as unloading time (there are now fewer boxes) and the difficulty of accessing the contents of the boxes. A new options system (it doesn't change anything for you, except perhaps some keys to be reassigned) Small change in controls to accommodate the new cardboard system: R is now used by default to rotate objects and F is used to change modes. This allows you to keep the scroll wheel to navigate through the boxes. Reduced duration of interactions: the interactions to be held were long, which made the gameplay very rigid, especially when making recipes. More range on the interaction system Single-player game can be paused by clicking escape 🎉 Fridge opening controls have been moved to the left click to harmoniz…

- Demo is out now! What comes next? - 7 April 2025
Hello everyone, I'd like to thank you for the official release of our demo and for your warm welcome! I know that many of you have been waiting for this game and have quite specific expectations of what it should look like. Even though I'm doing my utmost to offer you a quality game with content, there may still be some bugs or unresolved issues that I'm rushing to correct as we go along... During these first days of release, I've received several negative reviews on our demo's Steam page that I find a little harsh, even though I'm working on this game alone and doing my utmost to resolve any bugs encountered as quickly as possible... Over the next few weeks, I'll be doing my utmost to improve the gaming experience and spread the word about the game! See you soon, Cédric from Meerkatt Studio

Hello everyone, Our playtest phase has been underway for several weeks now. First of all, I'd like to thank our wonderful community for participating in the playtest and for all the constructive feedback we've received! It warms our hearts and motivates us even more for what's to come. On the subject of what's next, we wanted to clarify our objectives for the coming weeks: First, we're going to publish a content-oriented update on our playtest. This new version will address the in-game quality-of-life issues regularly raised by testers: cup storage, tray storage, cup unloading from trays, as well as the addition of a temperature mechanic to ensure that your coffees don't linger too long on the counter before being served to customers! This will be the last patch in our playtest (excluding bug fixes). At the same time, we're working hard on the demo, which will offer you a much more user…

Please keep in mind that this first version of the playtests does not reflect the quality of the final game, and may contain many bugs that I'll try to resolve as quickly as possible.
