Alice Games has released a demo for Vacation Cafe Simulator, the cozy Italian simulator where players can manage their dream cafe.
Vacation Cafe Simulator gives players the chance to build their dream cozy cafe in Italy, and it’s set in the ’90s. Players will learn and master authentic Italian recipes for their cafe, with minigames helping them prepare things like pizza, pasta, and bruschetta.
Players will also need to take care of their patrons, taking orders and serving them. Better service translates to more loyal customers, too.
Players can design and decorate their cafe using their hard-earned money. They can also expand their menu by buying new equipment to make different meals.
There’s also an exploration element, giving players the chance to journey around the area to experience other places, like wineries and farms. These give players a chance to buy unique things to make their cafe stand out.
Players will also be able to forage from the world around them. For example, in the last developer blog, Alice Games shared a look at how players will need to dive into the ocean around them to find oysters among the gorgeous coral and sealife.
The Steam demo gives players a chance to start their cafe, creating their own cozy spot and serving drinks to customers who stop by.
Vacation Cafe Simulator is set to release sometime this year on PC. Players can check out the demo here on Steam.
