About the Game

“Truly, all things are revealed, in due time.” In the small, cosmic town of Ellior, how long can a secret be kept? Play as Leon, the humble raccoon, managing a quaint coffee house. Brew espresso and serve interstellar customers with outrageous personalities, while chatting to the regulars. Choose to leave early or work late, but be careful of what happens after hours when nobody’s there to see. The accumulating odd occurrences of this town surround you, but can you discover the truth?

Game Features:

  • Deconstruct the mystery, and solidify the truth. Talk with regulars to get their perspective, and determine if it’s reality or all a facade.

  • Complete orders and serve customers. Grind beans, brew espresso, froth milk, and see if you have what it takes to be a java-obsessed-racoon barista! If orders are completed correctly, you can purchase upgrades.

  • Upkeep the cafe. Cleaning tables, mopping floors, and taking out the trash are all in a day's work.

  • Multiple endings to be discovered. Every conversation matters. Who you talk to, or don't talk to, affects the outcome of your gameplay.

  • Vibrant and unique characters that are full of personality. With customers from all over the galaxy stopping into your establishment, no interactions are without a surprise or laugh.

  • Beautifully contrasted pixel art styles. Stark changes between cozy and creepy create a peculiar environment.

  • A distinctive soundtrack. Atmospheric music and sounds that bring life to every moment.
