Coffee Talk: Episode 2 is another ridiculously cozy masterclass from Toge Productions, a game that exudes the mantra happy and healthy. Pretty much the same gameplay loop from the first title, featuring most of the same characters, you steam, press, and serve your way into their hearts and lives as the best late night barista in Seattle.

The gameplay loop remians the same, albeit a little bit ambiguous in the way directions are given, by serving your patrons based off their vibes and specific requests. Of course, this is a pretty elementary endeavour as you're combining three ingredients (sometimes with foam art!) and nothing more, but man if it doesn't make you want to brew some coffee/tea and get funky with your beverages, I don't know what else it'll do! Seriously, after playing Coffee Talk 2 I made it a point to start writing down ingredients that require hibiscus, butterfly pea, and green tea so that I can get my own Coffee Talk going. I'd like to think thats a big part of the game, making you as the player at home with their emotions through the art of brewing.

Music is again a beautiful lo-fi hip hop hodge podge of comfort, and the pixel graphics play a tremendous part in making you feel at home and in love with the simple goings ons. I live in a major city in the middle of the desert in the United States, and I'll be damned if the night-time raining backdrop didn't almost convince me that there was a nice downpour outside.

I strongly recommend the Coffee Talk series to anybody looking for some shorter games to unwind and hang out with some chill customers.
