Is a creative entry in the Zeno Jam 8 lineup, developed in just one week and also featured in Fuck Capitalism Jam 2024. Set in a stylish district, players start at a prestigious coffee shop owned by the Smiles Coffee Group, facing urgent financial struggles. The game’s unique twist lets you work off debt through in-game tasks, offering a fresh take on narrative-driven jugabilidad. The project uses assets from trusted sources, including the Joystix Monospace font by Raymond Larabie and custom silhouettes inspired by business themes. Backgrounds, like the coffee shop interior, are sourced from public domain resources, ensuring a polished look without original art. Sound design blends chiptune tracks such as "Happy But Frozen In Time" and "Pushing Ahead" with ambient loops, creating an immersive atmosphere. Despite a known bug affecting web controls, the game emphasizes accessibility and creativity. Explore its innovative mechanics and community-driven elements.
