Coffee Talk is one of the more enjoyable narrative games I've played. As the player, there is very little to do, but I liked the vibe and found the setting and characters interesting enough to see it through to the end.
From a narrative perspective, there are times when the game tries too hard to create dramatic moments when in actuality it is the mundanity and little conversations that make this a place you want to hang out in.

Do you agree that's a game that could not be a game? lol
@LeonardoMF93 - I definitely agree it needed a few more game elements. I would have liked the ability to make dialogue choices.
For me, the audio/visual presentation was enough to justify it as a video game. The same story could have been told in a graphic novel, but I think sensory things like the soundtrack and being able to make the coffee added an extra layer of immersion that is unique to video games, even though they could have went further with it.
