Afterhours Cafe: Coffee Tycoon

The lights are on, the coffee is brewing, and your neighborhood has a new favorite place. Afterhours Cafe is a cozy cafe tycoon about one late-night cafe: lay out the floor, run the shift, and turn a busy night into a good one.

Place brew counters, tables and an ingredient station on the plaza, then open the doors. Guests queue, order, wait and find a seat, and every one of them is a real person in the simulation. Keep the aisles clear, keep the ingredients stocked and keep your baristas from burning out. Between shifts, rearrange anything.

What's in it

• Brew counters, tables and storage to arrange, and a layout that really changes how a shift runs
• 30 recipes, a signature menu, and ingredients to balance on quantity, freshness and price
• Baristas with their own speed and fatigue, and opening hours you set
• 18 regulars, each with a three-chapter story told over repeat visits
• 60 contracts across five neighborhoods, plus research to improve the cafe
• Pause any time, or run at 1x, 2x or 3x speed. Three save slots.
• English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Plays offline, no account.

Controls (PC)

• Mouse: click tiles to build and inspect, drag the world to pan, mouse wheel to zoom.
• Space: pause / resume
• Esc: close a panel / settings

The itch.io version

• No ads. No in-app purchases. The full game, once.
• The mobile version's optional "sponsor bonus" after a shift is not in this version. Everything else is the same game, and the once-a-day recovery grant is still there if funds run low.
• A 1280x800 window that fits a 1080p screen and can be resized.
