Ahh, they joy of that finale only to be instantly punched in the face with the sadness of the update coming to an end...can't wait till the next update!!
Bro... this game, it on my top 10 favorite, it's 2nd to eternum, the story of this is on god phenomenal, and characters are amazing, props to the devs, I know I'm glazing but 10/100000, hope you continue to the next version, I'll be patiently waiting 🥲🥲
You aren't wrong, Eternum is the pinnacle nothing can come close for story/mystery/characters etc
Ripples is definitely second though. Love that game.
But I've played cosy like 5 times, it's great. Projekt passion, house in the rift, harem hotel, there's a few classics on that level, but like Eternum I really want to know the rest of the story with cosy cafe
Only complaint is misaki feels tacked on and takes away from the rest of the cast, wish we could skip her haha, and get Elizabeth and Annabelle finally involved or the main girls
I love this game man, from the fully interesting story, down to every characters micro expressions, this game is a full 10/10, I love it so much man.
My rankings for best girls go as such:
- Akatsuki
- Lucy
- Sarah
- Vicky
- Catherine (just cause I like her stubbornness and her devotion to her siblings)
- Misaki
- Hannah
- Akari (hoping she'll be the 9th gf at some point)
- Rachel (Just cause I have a theory that, while I could be wrong, would be funny if it became true)
- Alison (interchangeable with Rachel, but I just don't like Alison as much as Rachel)
If there are somethings I really hope to be right about, it's these few theories:
Alison is actually snaking us at the start, but gradually she comes around to actually liking the MC at some point.
Rachel has a R*pe fetish, and her way of going about it is being an Ultra Feminazi towards men, to the point that they want to force themselves onto her (this one is very obviously the weakest and most likely to never actually become true, but I just really like the idea that, the whole reason shes always on the MC, is because he wouldn't fall for her tactics, so she went about spying on the MC to get him to snap on her, and when he didnt use her as she would've wanted, or spanked her in the detention scene, and she ran out crying, was cause she started evaluating her fetish, and realized that it wasn't going to work for her, so now she has to change to win the favor of the MC.)
Anyways that's my thoughts on this game, it's really good man, I love it so muchan, and please if u could, make my Rachel theory a reality, it would be hella cash money of u if u did.
This one should be called 'Legend of Coosey Cafe: The Spankening'
I mean, this is a spanking simulator at heart, really.
I aint gonna kink shame. But I do have some thoughts. Everyone's a critic, eh, as they say.
Not sure how I feel about this one, most of the people in the harem, are people who, by law, would be classed as vulnerable persons, and youth at risk, in my country... and a whole team of Rachels, some with weapons and full law enforcement powers, would be swarming the Cafe in jiffy, once anyone learnt of the harem I was building out of such people. At least in so far as they would investigate the situation at the bare minimum just to make sure there was no significant exploitation. Even as adults at 18, since they are all still school girls. Additionally, Allison and Misaki are wholly questionable, ethically speaking too. IDK that niggles me, even worse than forced fantasy play, incest play, and other dark, taboo, kinks in these kinds of games. Thats cultural, I am not sure this would be the case in the devs world. I can sit on that I guess.
But then if I do, what do I have? I aint gonna kinky shame... but the spanking... man oh man.. the spanking. Spanking Simulator 1.0 would be another appropriate name for this one. And BOY is it a SLOW BURN. I do NOT mind the story, aside from serious questions about the ethics of the MC seemingly exploiting the vulnerable. I got in to it. To a degree. The whole Pseudo Aristocracy thing. The Machiavellian nonsense which comes with it. I enjoyed seeing SOME depth to the characters, the girls anyway. Almost cared for Catherine.. the first time in an AVN I ever have, by the time we get the full picture of her circumstances. But MAN OH MAN, the game is pretty long already.. nothing wrong with that, I love it... but ultimately, for all that effort.. sure you get some oral play, some heavy petting, some digital play both ways... and a WHOLE LOT of spanking.. but you actually only get your end in, what, five times? Thrice with the same girl (though I do give kudos to the devs for one of them being in a semi-public place, and one wholly public).
Hours in, and you still aint gotten a taste of even one of the THREE redheads, for example, you are seducing in to your harem. OK, we can assume one might be hard to conquer, because she is just trying to please her sister... but by the end... the shortest surrendered everything else, why not that? And that sister? She is REALLY gaming the MC huh? Everything she does, is done for her own goals.. and not once, has the actual honey laid out, to catch the MC better than vinegar, been tasted, that honey pot, still untaken, untamed, and unbroken, and owned.
Also Misaki is going to cross all boundaries of the educators ethics, and surrender so wholly to the MC anyway, she should have been full clapped by then too, surely?
AVNs need to strike the right balance between the A and the N. They need the Novel's narrative, and to have some depth, and cool story, something fun, or funny, or deep, or even just interesting... but they ALSO need well paced, long, well blocked, well animated and 'shot', multi-phase A scenes that are on par with the story part, if they want to impress... because quality demands quality.
I feel this one, once you move beyond some 'Foreplay'...and yeah.. Oral is foreplay to this gamer.... and petting, toys, and promises... this one delivers... perhaps slightly less A quality, scene wise, and too little of them... to match the level of the story.
I think this game has potential.. if it will be as long again, or longer, when finished, than what we have thus far, there is time to fix things... but they need fixing. There needs to be MORE hardcore Adult scenes... full...s*x.. not just messing about, and they need to be done in a way which really lets the eye candy element come to the fore. Our Kitty in the shower, for example, was a scene which would be classed as 'Softcore' were it film, by most censors around the world. Getting further, faster, and more explicitly with girls is necessary for the people like me, who play these games for the A above the VN elements, to stick around and not get bored.
TBH, right now, this is like, maybe a 6/10.
I gave it a 3 star rating.
But I AM looking forwards to this continuing, seeing where it goes.
Hi Apis4 I like how you give a full review. I have looked at a few of your reviews some I agree with and some I don’t. Chuckles I don’t think anyone will always agree with anyone it’s just not humanly possible. So continue writing your reviews no matter if you get thumbs up or down either way it shows people are reading your reviews. Take care 😉
Thumbs up, or thumbs down.. never have gotten this.... is this what they call on twitter/reddit 'ratioed'...?? Like, who gives a flying F what anyone else thinks... and why do people even let it stop them? I am middle aged bloke from the outback in Australia, not your typical gamer in any other way aside from the fact I have been a hardcore gamer over 45 years.... so I do not get how soft people are now. 'Oh, more people do not like what I am saying than do... Whaaaaaaaa.. booohooo.... I will go cry and stop"... to be frank... that sickens me.
But I DO appreciate your encouragement however unnecessary Thanks.
I just speak my mind. Having been a hardcore gamer, from ground level, day zero, I think I am experienced and expert enough for my own thoughts on a game to be of value to at least some. If other do not like it, no one says they must, but also, no one cares. I just want to A: help give constructive feedback to devs.. and B: inform other gamers what they are getting before the get it, even on games that free amateur works like the world of Adult Itch games.
If all I achieve is giving one dev some food for thought, or getting them to go in a new direction on one thing, or lift their game in one area.. or if I can inform just one person, as to if they want a game or not, or prepare them for what they are getting in to if they do get it... then I am happy with that. I do not care in the slightest what others think.
With how in-depth your reviews are you should make a game collection on itchio and add your reviews. This way when anyone clicks on your name they can check what games you like. I only made a collection because of the credit card company forced itchio to take down nsfw game search a few months ago a few games that have not changed the (Name your own Price) when Downloading is still being shadowed blocked I believe Dark Magic is one.
i see the whole thing differently the MC has a weakness but also a conviction he didnt go about aiming to seduce a bunch of girls, he meets girls some need some help and he creates a space for them to come out of their opressive families and realise who they really are and they just happen to fall in love with him in the process. reality is we are less than a month into the story the fact that he worked this fast with so many girls puts him on super power level i like that it goes slow to the H-scenes makes when it happens more rewarding. and to the dev please tell me theres a timeline to the next update
Sure, I get it. I just know that there is a lot of actual ethical considerations this would create.. the off ramp being he is also a high schooler, and classmate of the girls...BUT his ALSO being their boss... and then they being vulnerable youth, would, in many jurisdictions, still be something which possibly overrides that. These are school girls, who even at 18, would likely NOT be classed as independent from their parent(s) or guardian in my jurisdiction, who are also in compromised circumstances, and as I said, would be classed legally as vulnerable youth at risk in my country.
The expectation of propriety, and morality, in MY culture, would be HE DOES offer them that safe space, and help, but DOES NOT accept Romantic intentions, or sexual engagement, in return. Rather, explicitly avoiding that, at least for more than a month. Once they are out of school, and if they find other work, which is their primary source of income, and move out... THEN proceed with romantic explorations, then move in, take jobs again, and it proceeds along those lines... THAT would be seen as OK.
Offering them shelter, work, support, and safety, but then also spanking them, touching them sexually, taking oral sex from them, and even having intercourse with them, even if mutually consensual would be VERY problematic, and that definitely informs my view of the game.
As for the sex scenes.... I am a glutton... I want lots, and tbh, expect somewhat more than we have in any game this long.
Love the game, it's not rushed unlike the others, i also love the story, not to mention the design, and the MC isnt just some degenerate pervert with no respect for women.
I'm very much enjoying the game so far, but I have to be straight: I despise Rachel, and I really, really hope she does not become one of the girlfriends. I want her nowhere near our happy little harem, especially considering the limit we've been given on how many girls we can invite (though I wouldn't be surprised if that limit is expanded at some point).
So far Vic seems to be the only one willing to add Rachel and that's only for the sake of breaking her spirit. There are plenty of better options (probably more from the other founders, to help lend mc some clout)
Exactly! So many other girls have good chemistry with the MC and also get along with one or more girlfriends already. Almost anyone else in the cast would be more deserving of a spot in the harem. Rachel has repeatedly wronged both the MC and several of his favorite people, while showing virtually no remorse for her behavior. I would consider it a miracle if she's ever redeemed.
Completely agree,rachel is an annoying bitch who gets on everyone's nerves,she doesn't desrve to be part of the harem,the constant reporting to alison when first arriving,the stunt she pulled at the maid event with the ticket book that got Hannah's ass spanked,she has no remorse and never apologies for her behaviour & she is basically an annoying,bitchy karen,like when the MC first started to explain to Catherine,where he wants everyone to get along together,rachel will make that unbearable as nobody likes her,so i really hope rachel doesn't get added and just gets moved to the side character part of the bio's pages,where she belongs
I'm afraid she will definitely be joining the harem eventually: she's one of the very original LIs I came up with alongside Lucy and Vicky. However, she has a lot of story and character development to go before that point; she isn't gonna be rammed in your face in her current form. I do realise that some people may never come around on her, but I'm certainly gonna try my best!
Hmm... Well, you are a very capable writer, clearly. It's why I enjoy the game as much as I do. I'm glad to hear Rachel will eventually change her ways, but I do worry that even if she gets accepted into the group, her presence will be a constant reminder of the terrible things she's put us through. I'm having a hard time picturing her eventual acceptance as anything but pity, but I trust that you can give her a satisfying redemption arc. I thank you for your efforts, and I look forward to everything you have in store.
Well you're right about that I mean there's no way we can all forget how much trouble and discomfort Rachel has given the MC and the girls so if the writer has the magic to redeem Rachel let's see it happen after all she's going to be in the harem so let's try to give her a chance and not just put her aside
Whatever you're planning with Rachel I'm looking forward to it. Catherine was pretty insufferable initially but you fleshing out her story and character has made her actually likeable. I don't like Rachel right now but you definitely get the benefit of the doubt.
Hmm... ok,you are a good story teller and trust your vision for how it goes,thats why ive played multiple times and enjoy it as much as i do,i just hope rachel's change and arc is believable,did find Catherine unbearable at first,but she is growing on me,but rachel has a long way to go and she has to show remorse and apologise for her shitty attitude towards everyone she has wronged,but it's Lucy she has to convince the most as Lucy is adamant about not wanting rachel anywhere near them
id rather see elizabeth akari the goth girl in brians group that never say anything the klutz annabelle he has to save from herself. all before rachel even if she changes she is just kinda bland maybe a boobjob can help. i really want to see the drama in the founders event. and a surprise sister among the russels to torture brian
In most other harem AVNs it's usually not a problem since you can just reject any LI that you don't like, but in a kinetic novel you end up being forced to romance girls you don't want to, often at the expense of decreased focus on the ones you DO like.
I love this game so much. Especially the pace. Nothing feels rushed to me. I haven't reached the end of the current content yet. But I am already sad that I will soon.
One Of The Best, Looking forward to future updates. Maybe a SPOILER - Really loved the Catherine Content in the previous Update (Hopefully More In The next one)
I want to know as well, I rlly love the story to this game and just finished the last update and want to continue it, this is the first one ive played with such a captivating story
You seem to have gotten a boost into the newest category with your latest update. Any idea how you were able to do that? I did an update and nothing. Love and bought the game btw
I get these blue outlines around the eyes of every character, at first I thought it was eye shadow but everyone including the other guys have it. Is there a fix for this?
Have you played other Ren'Py games (many other visual novels)? I wonder if this is isolated to just Cosy Cafe, or Ren'Py in general. Checking my log file from a normal start, I see the same line about "Display Info: None", so that might not be the actual error.
However, on searching "renpy white screen crash" I found a renpy issue thread #6558 on github that mentioned this issue with NVidia xx60/xx70 cards running driver 576.xx or later. The NVidia tech mentioned that downgrading to 572.xx seemed to fix it, but personally that sounds more like a bandaid than a real fix. I didn't see a resolution for it in the thread. You mentioned being on a laptop, and it looks like you already tried to set Windows DPI/scaling to 100%. Did you try holding shift while opening the game to change renderers? Otherwise, I'm not really sure how to help.
The public releases are one month after the early access on patreon and subscribestar. If you look at the development log immediately above the comment section, you will see the early access and public releases for all previous updates. Its roughly every couple months.
Just finished my second play through. I really love this game! I can't wait for it to be updated! Some things I hope to see is the story to move to Sarah focused with a huge development in Catherine to tge point where we are almost in a relationship or in one. I hope Elizabeth is developed more. I also want to see Hannah come out of her shell. Im so excited for the next update! Anyone have a guess which women will take the final spots in the Harem? My guess is Elizabeth and Anabelle.
Elizabeth somewhat wants to collaborate, while Anabelle doesn't seem to have any hostility. My bet will be Rachel, considering what happened the last time we saw her
This is a really good game, I'm still in the early stages but the story in this game is really interesting, really looking forward to this game , keep up the good work author
When a game is so good that the h scenes are a bonus more than the goal, you know the story is great. The mc is so easy to put your own shoes on that you end up caring for the girls like they are truly yours and real. I hope cozy cafe 3 (or the rest of this update) is focused on sarah since shes one of the best written girls in any itch game.
absolutely fantastic. loved every second of it. the writing and character development are so well done I find myself genuinely caring for them. I was truly heartbroken when I reached the end of the current update. I sincerely hope you continue updating the game with more story. I think your truly talented and eagerly await the Next update!
unfortunately I wouldn’t doubt it. I just couldn’t put this one down. I’ll keep looking but for now just awaiting the next update. Thanks for the input!
Lessons in love is probably the best written AVN out there, but due to its topic and the fact that its not really a sex game in the classic sense its not for everyone.
Ripples and Thirty days where kinda good written for the average story driven AVN the last time ive checked in and if you can overlock some hard incel-vibes, Twisted Memories has its moments too.
Is there anything specific you're looking for? I think there's a lot of well written ones out there that I could recommend (following 250 devs, I swear I touch grass), but what I think is well written might not be the same for you
There are other well written games. They are just hard to find. I have a list of over 50 that are good, but there is no way to post it here 🙁. This one happens to be the #1 on that list, but there are others that are close to as good. My best suggestion is, go to discord and you will learn a lot more.
Bro, I admire you a lot. The story is so good that at times it takes away the sexual aspect. I hope this lasts a long time and if it ends, I hope you make a part two. Haha, new sub on Patreon.
Recently finished reading and this was an enjoyable story so far. Here are some thoughts on characters so far.
Warning Spoilers below
MC pays a wage every week or so right? having a small reminder of this would show their increased financial independence. MC could help Lucy open her own bank account as well. This might be a surprise for Catherine, as even a contract can't negate the need to pay a minimum wage (at least in a just society). This will give her the opportunity to pay off the debt or double down and commit.
Brian as a villain hasn't really shown much vileness, other than some words. Is he being secretly abusive to mika? but careful to do it in private and in ways that doesn't show? Gives an opportunity for MC to find out and help Lenny to break her away from Brian, maybe they'll eventually get a mildly decent ending together. This will further isolate Brian and make him more dangerous.
Akatsuki's dad is a bit eccentric, and it seems like the families use this against him by reminding him of MC's granddad all the time in order to "keep him in his place". MC doesn't seem to care about secret recipes and just cares about making good food, so eventually they'll get along pretty well and MC could learn a bunch from him.
MC and Akatsuki jointly made a mistake in the kitchen, one might expect him to take some "punishment" as well to be fair and all.
Are the families dangerous to each other in ways more than financial? Should the MC be on the lookout for votes that will destroy the balance of power even if he's voting with one side only?
Where was it suggested there should be choices? It is merely commentary on the story so far and what may happen in the future based on previous events.
Excellent work my friend, I would even recommend you explore Sarah's character a little more since you have a gold mine for content in this and another game separately just with her, cheer up bro
would give a 10/10 without the toy stuff . other than kitty tail it really just feels weird … I get what type of game it is but it feels really forced and unnecessary.
tying up and stuff feels normal but i like this game because its not just the usually "stick everything you can in each of their holes while they fuck each other" . It feels extremely intimate compared to other stories and a few h scenes were completely ruined for me because of this.
the story and characters are more than enough to give the scenes weight to be ruined with the extra porno fluff if anything is just sad when so many moments are so well crafted.
at least just involve some choice that will allow me see scenes without it so i can still actually enjoy them and not just get annoyed an intimate moment was ruined.

Ahh, they joy of that finale only to be instantly punched in the face with the sadness of the update coming to an end...can't wait till the next update!!
Is there a Chinese version of this game?
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
这个有中文吗

akatsuky and sara are just another level, right?
I have a thing for spoiled girls though
so cat or hanna 3th place for me

AVNs need to strike the right balance between the A and the N. They need the Novel's narrative, and to have some depth, and cool story, something fun, or funny, or deep, or even just interesting... but they ALSO need well paced, long, well blocked, well animated and 'shot', multi-phase A scenes that are on par with the story part, if they want to impress... because quality demands quality.

These are school girls, who even at 18, would likely NOT be classed as independent from their parent(s) or guardian in my jurisdiction, who are also in compromised circumstances, and as I said, would be classed legally as vulnerable youth at risk in my country.
The expectation of propriety, and morality, in MY culture, would be HE DOES offer them that safe space, and help, but DOES NOT accept Romantic intentions, or sexual engagement, in return. Rather, explicitly avoiding that, at least for more than a month. Once they are out of school, and if they find other work, which is their primary source of income, and move out... THEN proceed with romantic explorations, then move in, take jobs again, and it proceeds along those lines... THAT would be seen as OK.
Offering them shelter, work, support, and safety, but then also spanking them, touching them sexually, taking oral sex from them, and even having intercourse with them, even if mutually consensual would be VERY problematic, and that definitely informs my view of the game.
As for the sex scenes.... I am a glutton... I want lots, and tbh, expect somewhat more than we have in any game this long.
This is the best story I'e read so far. Love all the playful bickering back n forth between the characters.
Love the game, it's not rushed unlike the others, i also love the story, not to mention the design, and the MC isnt just some degenerate pervert with no respect for women.
Will there be no punch option for Rachel?
There will not!
I agree with this, she may be annoying but a true man will never hit a woman...( At least outside of spicy context cough* vikki cough*
Hello, I really liked the game. I would like to know when the next free version of the game will be released?
Probably around 2 months out for the free release.
Can't wait! (Please Cosy PLEASE! Make my theory about Rachel true! It would be hella cash money of u, if you did.)
I'm very much enjoying the game so far, but I have to be straight: I despise Rachel, and I really, really hope she does not become one of the girlfriends. I want her nowhere near our happy little harem, especially considering the limit we've been given on how many girls we can invite (though I wouldn't be surprised if that limit is expanded at some point).
So far Vic seems to be the only one willing to add Rachel and that's only for the sake of breaking her spirit. There are plenty of better options (probably more from the other founders, to help lend mc some clout)
Exactly! So many other girls have good chemistry with the MC and also get along with one or more girlfriends already. Almost anyone else in the cast would be more deserving of a spot in the harem. Rachel has repeatedly wronged both the MC and several of his favorite people, while showing virtually no remorse for her behavior. I would consider it a miracle if she's ever redeemed.
Completely agree,rachel is an annoying bitch who gets on everyone's nerves,she doesn't desrve to be part of the harem,the constant reporting to alison when first arriving,the stunt she pulled at the maid event with the ticket book that got Hannah's ass spanked,she has no remorse and never apologies for her behaviour & she is basically an annoying,bitchy karen,like when the MC first started to explain to Catherine,where he wants everyone to get along together,rachel will make that unbearable as nobody likes her,so i really hope rachel doesn't get added and just gets moved to the side character part of the bio's pages,where she belongs
I'm afraid she will definitely be joining the harem eventually: she's one of the very original LIs I came up with alongside Lucy and Vicky. However, she has a lot of story and character development to go before that point; she isn't gonna be rammed in your face in her current form. I do realise that some people may never come around on her, but I'm certainly gonna try my best!
Hmm... Well, you are a very capable writer, clearly. It's why I enjoy the game as much as I do. I'm glad to hear Rachel will eventually change her ways, but I do worry that even if she gets accepted into the group, her presence will be a constant reminder of the terrible things she's put us through. I'm having a hard time picturing her eventual acceptance as anything but pity, but I trust that you can give her a satisfying redemption arc. I thank you for your efforts, and I look forward to everything you have in store.
Well you're right about that I mean there's no way we can all forget how much trouble and discomfort Rachel has given the MC and the girls so if the writer has the magic to redeem Rachel let's see it happen after all she's going to be in the harem so let's try to give her a chance and not just put her aside
Whatever you're planning with Rachel I'm looking forward to it. Catherine was pretty insufferable initially but you fleshing out her story and character has made her actually likeable. I don't like Rachel right now but you definitely get the benefit of the doubt.
Hmm... ok,you are a good story teller and trust your vision for how it goes,thats why ive played multiple times and enjoy it as much as i do,i just hope rachel's change and arc is believable,did find Catherine unbearable at first,but she is growing on me,but rachel has a long way to go and she has to show remorse and apologise for her shitty attitude towards everyone she has wronged,but it's Lucy she has to convince the most as Lucy is adamant about not wanting rachel anywhere near them
good, I look forward to seeing her, I want to see her happy.
id rather see elizabeth akari the goth girl in brians group that never say anything the klutz annabelle he has to save from herself. all before rachel even if she changes she is just kinda bland maybe a boobjob can help. i really want to see the drama in the founders event. and a surprise sister among the russels to torture brian
In most other harem AVNs it's usually not a problem since you can just reject any LI that you don't like, but in a kinetic novel you end up being forced to romance girls you don't want to, often at the expense of decreased focus on the ones you DO like.
yes! im super excited to see what happens after Sarah. I also have to say im curious with how all the founder stuff is going to go as well.
When will it be updated? I can't wait for the story after Sarah. Thank you for making this game.
Thank you for playing it! The next update should be up on patreon in around a month.
Ok, thank you for your work. Have a nice life.
Spanish lenguage?
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
I love this game so much. Especially the pace. Nothing feels rushed to me. I haven't reached the end of the current content yet. But I am already sad that I will soon.
Relatable. Felt the same way.
I was wondering why I wasn't seeing anything about this game in my feed...forgot to follow you lol! Fixed it!
Haha, thanks for the follow!
But of course! I have to follow peak such as this lol
One Of The Best, Looking forward to future updates. Maybe a SPOILER - Really loved the
CatherineContent in the previous Update (Hopefully More In The next one)Thanks! And don't worry, I'm sure she'll be around!

I want to know as well, I rlly love the story to this game and just finished the last update and want to continue it, this is the first one ive played with such a captivating story
Should be up on patreon in around a month.
作者可以出个中文吗？如果可以的话尽量出一下
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
好吧，谢谢
好吧，谢谢
You seem to have gotten a boost into the newest category with your latest update. Any idea how you were able to do that? I did an update and nothing. Love and bought the game btw
I hope you are preparing the other update
I love it and I'm glad I found this game.
I get these blue outlines around the eyes of every character, at first I thought it was eye shadow but everyone including the other guys have it. Is there a fix for this?
Afraid not - all of the images are pre-rendered, so there's no way to change them on the fly.
I had a feeling, it's all good, it's not too too bad, the game is still great. Loving it so far!
I recently downloaded Cosy Cafe on my Windows 11 Home laptop, but the game crashes immediately after starting. When I check the log, it shows:
I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Enabled all compatibility options for the game executable.
Forced the game to use my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU.
Adjusted DPI / scaling settings.
My system specifications are:
OS: Windows 11 Home, 64-bit
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12650H, 2.70 GHz
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Despite these steps, the game still flashes a white screen for 1-2 seconds and then closes.
Could you please advise if there is a known solution for this issue, or if the game is compatible with my hardware configuration?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Have you played other Ren'Py games (many other visual novels)? I wonder if this is isolated to just Cosy Cafe, or Ren'Py in general. Checking my log file from a normal start, I see the same line about "Display Info: None", so that might not be the actual error.
However, on searching "renpy white screen crash" I found a renpy issue thread #6558 on github that mentioned this issue with NVidia xx60/xx70 cards running driver 576.xx or later. The NVidia tech mentioned that downgrading to 572.xx seemed to fix it, but personally that sounds more like a bandaid than a real fix. I didn't see a resolution for it in the thread. You mentioned being on a laptop, and it looks like you already tried to set Windows DPI/scaling to 100%. Did you try holding shift while opening the game to change renderers? Otherwise, I'm not really sure how to help.
Hey Cosy Creator, I was wondering how often you release content for Cosy Cafe on itch.io?
The public releases are one month after the early access on patreon and subscribestar. If you look at the development log immediately above the comment section, you will see the early access and public releases for all previous updates. Its roughly every couple months.
Just finished my second play through. I really love this game! I can't wait for it to be updated! Some things I hope to see is the story to move to Sarah focused with a huge development in Catherine to tge point where we are almost in a relationship or in one. I hope Elizabeth is developed more. I also want to see Hannah come out of her shell. Im so excited for the next update! Anyone have a guess which women will take the final spots in the Harem? My guess is Elizabeth and Anabelle.
Elizabeth somewhat wants to collaborate, while Anabelle doesn't seem to have any hostility. My bet will be Rachel, considering what happened the last time we saw her
Probably true, I'm just not a fan of her.
i really want catherine and hannah to hug
fair enough
This is a really good game, I'm still in the early stages but the story in this game is really interesting, really looking forward to this game , keep up the good work author
Dude the Story is actually fun to follow and the H scene's feel like a bonus.
can't wait see more of Sarah
When a game is so good that the h scenes are a bonus more than the goal, you know the story is great. The mc is so easy to put your own shoes on that you end up caring for the girls like they are truly yours and real. I hope cozy cafe 3 (or the rest of this update) is focused on sarah since shes one of the best written girls in any itch game.
agree 100%
im a little bored of sarah think i want more hannah theres so many paths she can take. like a full on public blow up rebellion
absolutely fantastic. loved every second of it. the writing and character development are so well done I find myself genuinely caring for them. I was truly heartbroken when I reached the end of the current update. I sincerely hope you continue updating the game with more story. I think your truly talented and eagerly await the Next update!
if anyone has any suggestions for similarly well written games please id love to hear them.
in my opinion there is no so well written novell game atm
unfortunately I wouldn’t doubt it. I just couldn’t put this one down. I’ll keep looking but for now just awaiting the next update. Thanks for the input!
Lessons in love is probably the best written AVN out there, but due to its topic and the fact that its not really a sex game in the classic sense its not for everyone.
Ripples and Thirty days where kinda good written for the average story driven AVN the last time ive checked in and if you can overlock some hard incel-vibes, Twisted Memories has its moments too.
Is there anything specific you're looking for? I think there's a lot of well written ones out there that I could recommend (following 250 devs, I swear I touch grass), but what I think is well written might not be the same for you
Eternum by Caribdis and Companion of Darkness Berkili4 are both fantastically written game.
once in a lifetime, eternum, my builly is my lover and ripples amazing stories on all 4
There are other well written games. They are just hard to find. I have a list of over 50 that are good, but there is no way to post it here 🙁. This one happens to be the #1 on that list, but there are others that are close to as good. My best suggestion is, go to discord and you will learn a lot more.
If u jave them publicly saved on your list for everyone too see they can just look at your profile, thats how i found some of the novels i read...
有中文吗
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
什么样的比赛
I've tried the whole game and it's really great.
I generally understand the story, but I don't quite understand some conversation.
Will you consider adding a Chinese translation? I really need it to experience the whole story
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
It's a shame, but it makes sense, so authors can create content faster.
Bro, I admire you a lot. The story is so good that at times it takes away the sexual aspect. I hope this lasts a long time and if it ends, I hope you make a part two. Haha, new sub on Patreon.
Recently finished reading and this was an enjoyable story so far. Here are some thoughts on characters so far.
Warning Spoilers below
MC pays a wage every week or so right? having a small reminder of this would show their increased financial independence. MC could help Lucy open her own bank account as well. This might be a surprise for Catherine, as even a contract can't negate the need to pay a minimum wage (at least in a just society). This will give her the opportunity to pay off the debt or double down and commit.
Brian as a villain hasn't really shown much vileness, other than some words. Is he being secretly abusive to mika? but careful to do it in private and in ways that doesn't show? Gives an opportunity for MC to find out and help Lenny to break her away from Brian, maybe they'll eventually get a mildly decent ending together. This will further isolate Brian and make him more dangerous.
Akatsuki's dad is a bit eccentric, and it seems like the families use this against him by reminding him of MC's granddad all the time in order to "keep him in his place". MC doesn't seem to care about secret recipes and just cares about making good food, so eventually they'll get along pretty well and MC could learn a bunch from him.
MC and Akatsuki jointly made a mistake in the kitchen, one might expect him to take some "punishment" as well to be fair and all.
Are the families dangerous to each other in ways more than financial? Should the MC be on the lookout for votes that will destroy the balance of power even if he's voting with one side only?
Those are all path-choice variables in a story that has none. Just sit back and enjoy the story.
Where was it suggested there should be choices? It is merely commentary on the story so far and what may happen in the future based on previous events.
oooh i like the wage idea id like to see the financial situation as well even if its just the cafes financial position
Excellent work my friend, I would even recommend you explore Sarah's character a little more since you have a gold mine for content in this and another game separately just with her, cheer up bro
im just sitting her waiting for the next update to come out as I really Enjoyed it so far
would give a 10/10 without the toy stuff . other than kitty tail it really just feels weird … I get what type of game it is but it feels really forced and unnecessary.
tying up and stuff feels normal but i like this game because its not just the usually "stick everything you can in each of their holes while they fuck each other" . It feels extremely intimate compared to other stories and a few h scenes were completely ruined for me because of this.
the story and characters are more than enough to give the scenes weight to be ruined with the extra porno fluff if anything is just sad when so many moments are so well crafted.
at least just involve some choice that will allow me see scenes without it so i can still actually enjoy them and not just get annoyed an intimate moment was ruined.
Is there pregnancy content planned for the future?
It will come up very late in the story, and it won't be fetishised, rather it will be more of a story element.
No official translations are planned until the game is completed.
what is the update status on the next update?
Cosy Creator indicated they are trying for a early November for the public release.
