General
Coffee Talk is a wholesome game about baristas for orcs and elves.
[Like a simple story of an elf and a succubus who love each other very much, just to wash it down. Or like a warm drink. Or both at the same time. Coffee Talk is a "coffee-brewing, heart-to-heart conversation simulator," in which you serve as a barista and therapist to the needy in the fantasy city of Seattle. In other words, your customers are orcs, elves, succubi, and mermaids. They come in, ask for coffee, and you listen to lo-fi, jazzy beats and offer advice. Free demos are also available. Here's the teaser:

I quite like the look that developer Toge Productions has adopted: a 90s anime aesthetic, with rich, deliberate use of shadows and washed-out colors. The music is also quite good; here's a YouTube OST playlist. Coffee Talk reminds me of VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. Is this a genre anymore? Genre fiction food service personnel? If so, I'm all over this genre. Here's the official Coffee Talk website, which can be found on Steam, GOG, Game Jolt, and itch.io.
