VN - Ren'Py - Cosy Cafe [v0.9] [Cosy Creator]

100% vanilla, like it.
i recommend this game play slow and enjoy the daily life instead complete and go forward. the story and scenes are very good and like it that POV near girls faces <3

personally i like more SEX scenes but the ones they have have great quality. i considerate this worth it.

Review written as of 0.7.1.

Mostly lighthearted and simple story, well written love interests who exude character. Funny, but probably not laugh outload funny for most people.
If you are looking for an MC who is dominant but not an asshole or a creep, then look no further. The MC of this VN is respectful of other people while never compromising his goals (or trying not to, at least). Well intentioned with the people he meets, and he very clearly cares about the girls.
Extremely solid emotional moments, and character building, especially with the redhead.
Play this VN if you like:
- Well written characters
- Romance
-Spanking (if you don't like or are indifferent to spanking, like me, then still try it, the spanking isn't overbearing)
- Casual, easy to pick up but hard to put down stories.
- Emotional moments
- Sweet moments
- Harems
- kinetic novels
- Male domination
- Political drama
- Nice renders

Absolutely love the story and characters. Always sitting and waiting on update, cant wait for the next one and then im left waiting for the next portion to come out. Beautiful characters, beautiful storylines.

I don't think I've ever written a review for a game on this site. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to do so.

I remember when I was 18 years old, my older brother took me on a road trip about 180 miles North out to this weird rural area near Santa Barbara. We were going to a steak house. He ordered my a 200 dollar filet. That's it. It was the most amazing thing I had ever eaten. I still think back on that meal sometimes and marvel at it. Every element was perfect. The perfect cook, the perfect cut, perfectly seasoned, and served with this fucking glorious chive butter. All the elements came from local farms, and, I shit you not, you could taste the love in the food.

I tell you this rambling story of nostalgia, because this game is a lot like that steak. I had had steak before, I've had steak since then. But never had I had anything that so perfectly executed every aspect.

This game is not groundbreaking. There's nothing here that offers a challenge to the reader/gamer. We've all seen this story before, met these characters before, seen this engine and gameplay loop before. But there's never been a time when I've seen it all executed so flawlessly. Every character is unique and interesting. All of them are flawed in some way, but not to the point of detriment. The player character is flawed, but realistic. He's not overtly a dick, nor is he overly accommodating. The story is simple, but beautiful. I found myself actively rooting for characters through their triumphs. I shit you not, at one point I whooped. This is a porn game for gods sake, and I actually rooted for a character. What the fuck?

To the dev, who I see reads these comments and is actively a member of the community, I salute you my dude. Absolutely astounding work. I think the greatest form of appreciation of art is in in the form of buying the product. So, I will be donating/subscribing. It won't be much, but I hope it helps you continue to develop this and any other games you forsee.

The characters are great and i fell in love with the story. So much so that i bit the bullet and supported the dev thru patreon.

Highly recommanded if you like love stories with some kink and some mystery related to family backgrounds.

came for the faps, and before getting to day 11 the story made me forget about everything and i was hooked, amazing writing and story building so far. character modeling is great too. dont even plan on fapping, i just want to get lost in this story again 5/5

It's a visual novel, with basically no gameplay. However, the story is entertaining, the girls are great (if stereotypical), sex scenes solid, and it's being updated regularly. Highly recommended if you like the genre

Super enjoyable story, cant wait for more updates. The writing picks up quite a bit after the initially awkward first interactions and once the relationships are established it was a great read. I love the different interactions with each girl, and as each of there motives and characteristics became more apparent it made the story flow a lot easier. The main plot is also super intriguing and i cant wait to see where it gets taken and the dynamic the mc has with the Families. Im excited to give this story my support.

This game is pretty decent, and I've enjoyed it overall, but it isn't anything remarkable and there are definitely some issues.

Standard honey select visuals. The models are cute, but nothing remarkable.

The writing is good in some ways, bad in others. The dialogue itself is well written. The story is fine, but not particularly interesting. The characters are believable enough, and everything at least makes sense.

But the characters are also very basic stereotypes with not much going on beneath that. The MC is clearly supposed to be a loveable asshole type guy, but a good portion of the time its hard to believe anyone would actually respond well to this guy (let alone EVERYONE). Sometimes he's fine, but sometimes he's actually just annoying.

The writing could also be trimmed down quite a bit. Its hard for me not to just skim large portions, and I can still follow the story and characters easily.

This VN is about as good as things get. The storyline and the quality of writing are top-notch. I always look forward to the next update, and so far, I have never been disappointed. Well done.

This has become one of my favourite games on this site. One of the games I'm always looking forward to new updates for.
I love the cast of characters so much! I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

Cosy Cafe has a wide variety of characters with an in-depth story that we see more in detail with every update. This game was very easy to pick up and reminded me why I enjoy AVNs.

The characters range in personality and aesthetics and are high quality. Compared to others I have seen here with much higher views and ratings, Cosy Cafe is in my top 10.

It's just a very good game, the girls are all hot and have distinctive personalities with good dialogue guiding their interactions that makes it so that every relationship feels very different from each other.

The game is still basically this fantasy where all girls fall for mc and are okay with him having a harem with all of them, which is not necesarilly my favorite genre and I would rather have branching paths, but it's done in such a way that I'm fine with the harem because the interactions between the characters are just pretty good and it's not often that a game makes me not skip most of its dialogue. Definitivily one of the better written games.

ok listen to me: i started playing this game like 2 days ago and already finished it, and let me just say that this is one of the best novel i've ever played, and i played a lot of games in this site and when i say a lot i mean a lot, but this is the one and only time that i actually got extremely engaged in the story and especially in the characters, all the characters are PERFECT (for me) especially the main character he is THE BEST character in the entire game imo, he has ONLY the best traits of every main character in every game that i played of this type and he is actually a true person, he isnt just another mc that only wants to fuck well he is but he's not just that he is much more and i really loved it, and all the main girls are different form each other in every way especially lucy she is super cute, so the only thing that i can say is WOW i never played such a good novel well done really well done hope you continue update this fabulous game for a long time (of course this is only my personal opinion)

0.6.1 (16 Oct 2023)

This game drew me in very quickly from the cast of characters, the renders and the overall story.

I can't wait to see more from the dev and after playing the 0.6.1 I have to say I don't mind helping fund this game for more updates.

Gorgeous, great writing, fun plot. MC is perfectly dominant, without being even the least bit cruel. It is believable that girls fall for him, and while at times it seems he gets away with murder, it's done in a fun way.

I don't know why but i really love this game. i started this game when it got first released and waited a couple of updates to see where it goes and make a review. The game is so wholesome and comfy. you just grow to love the main girls and the story is getting very interesting. i love the frequent updates and the dev communicates alot with his fans. my favorite thing that really stood out is that MC is not a bitch and he stands on business. hopefully we get alot of sex scenes during mid- end game but that wont be for a while. i also love the renders and its another thing that drew me to this game its looks great. This is another hidden gem that is definitely worth playing.

Really good game, cant wait to see more.
Pros: -characters aspect and personality.
-quality of renders
-story, simple but efficient
-sex scenes if you like spanking and maledom

Cons:
-sometimes some dialogs are a bit long for nothing.

Keep up the good work dev!

I like this game. Love the girls and the story. This game has almost all type of girls that you like. And mine is shortstack and tomboy. And if you played and didn't see yours, you'll see her in the future. Don't lose hope, keep on playing.

Good game.
Great models.
Not super boring personalities.
MC is cringe only 30% of the time.

But it's one of these games that would benefit from CUTTING content.
I skip ALL non-dialog lines and I didn't miss a thing - completely understanding what is going on and why. The only interesting bits that are non-dialog is during some of the sex scenes - and it's only flavor too. No personality change or illumination there to wait for.
Everything outside of dialogs and sex-scenes is just empty and pointless drag of a time.

And I'm pretty sure you could cut even the dialogs in half and nothing will have changed - except the pacing tightening up.

Overall - for me - it was a worthwhile read. 7-8/10. But only if I skim heavily through it.

P.S. Oh yeah, music doesn't match the tension a lot of the time - so I turned it off too.
