About the Game

Osaka at dusk. Marrakech after rain. Reykjavik at 3am.

Somewhere Café is an ambient music player for your desktop. 32 cities, 10 tracks each — from the first impression of arrival, through the immersive afternoon, to the silence of late night and the outlier moments that don't quite fit anywhere.

Each city comes to life through four illustrations — morning, day, dusk, and night — alongside a coffee van that belongs to that place.

  • The Ambience Sound System lets you layer multiple ambient sounds — rain on rooftops, café chatter, vinyl crackle, and more — directly over your music. Mix freely to build the exact atmosphere you want.

Modes

  • Explore
    Choose a city and stay. Spend enough time there to unlock it. Unlocked cities open up in Journey and Custom modes.

  • Journey
    Plot a route through your unlocked cities. The music moves from stop to stop automatically — a few tracks per city, then on.

  • Custom
    Pick freely from all your unlocked tracks and build your own playlists.
