one of the greatest games of this nature that ive played. Lucy is the kind of woman any man would kill to have. Dev, job very well done. and i dont say that lightly or often. keep up the amazing work homie
I keep looking at the update log well knowing it's released on the 18th, I'm just excited for some more action. Especially since i see some more progress with Hannah... I've been here since 0.6 and I'll be here for as long as your writing stories, thank you for the entertainment!
Just a question, is part 2 different than the first? Honestly I like plot more than sex while playing these kind of games, I don't care about sex at all, and the majority of part 1 is sex until now atleast, is part 2 more of the same? Or is it different? I'm hoping we would dive into politics, the founding families, etc..
Wow, really fast reply, I appreciate that, maybe 10% sex animation, but I think most of the game is sexual, the MC is either spanking someone, gropping someone, or fucking someone, or getting his dick sucked, I hope I'm making sense.
Thank you for your game, also it being free. Most are stuffed in kennels and only fed steroids produced in cash cows science labs. It's refreshing to be blessed with a content creator that values the natural way....who brings their games up Free Ranged........yeeeeah......jokes aside, how come the pics in itch are more vivid than in game btw. Had to make sure I was at the right title/page.for a moment. I like the game thus far & I've only just 'met the cute shrimp '...loving how cute the nice ones are...straight up nailed it on that cute factor!! Got me hooked.
Hey, glad you're enjoying it! You're still in the first content I made for the 0.1 release of the game, and my graphical abilities have very much improved since then. As you play, you should see a gradual increase in quality, and eventually it will match the images from the itch page, as they're all taken straight from the game. Actually, it should even improve beyond them, as they're all a few updates old at this point.
This is only your first AVN that's crazy this is such a great story i keep just waiting and waiting for more I'm definitely a huge fan of this ill definitely be waiting for more stuff to come.
This is genuinely a great game, which I must admit i got very into. The characters are well-writen and it's super satisfying to see them change over time, but it's not rushed at all. The story is really interesting and captivating and I'm very curious how it all plays out. This is truly a masterpiece and I can't wait for more :D Great work!!
Since the public release is just next month I thought why not leave a comment and here am I. I really love the game from how the characters interact with each other to how their relationship improves, I hope you all the best.
But I just have 1 concern on the way we download because it's cut in half the character bios and whatnot on the first half don't carry on the second one but if it's not a bother won't be better to have them together like how the other avn's are downloaded, I don't know what's it called or it's done but I can say this can be an advantage.
I'll just drop a link below so you can see what I mean, it's from Eternum another great avn.This
The character bios do carry over, they just unlock when you get to the end of the current content. Though now that I think about it, it would definitely make more sense for the part 1 stuff to be unlocked at the start of part 2. Thanks, I'll add that to my to-do list!
Content wise it's the full version, though it has a complete UI overhaul that is still a little buggy, and that should be fixed before the public release.
I’m so glad you work like this, it’s like you actually care about the story, even though a lot of other AVN creators are just in it for the money, meaning they have patreons and one measly update a year with the free version 5 updates behind the payed one. Can’t wait for the next update
I realy love this game. The guy is living the dream. Having a somewhat big goal in live, lots of girls he cares about (and provides for) and that care about him. Not just some shallow fuck relationships. Some rivals so it dosnt get boring... i think most guys wish for exactly that. Thanks a lot mate! Its just awesome. Even the choice of musik is fitting. A rarety for a ren'py game.
That being said, i have 2 minor points i want to adress. Hope thats okay.
First is the matter of choice. I can very well understand the concept of such a novel not having much choice. it usualy makes for a way smother story progression and less plotholes. And the first Rachel choice was pure Gold!! But a little something here and there would be awesome. Lets say the girls buy clothes and the MC/player can give his opinion on whats better. Or why the given choice was better. The first option would kinda call for a extra render but the second one could be done with one or two lines later on. Either way, the player has some illusion of agency. Not necessarily on the story itself, that would be much more writing, but on the MC´s look on the world he exists in.
Second would be the eyes in some scenes. Dont get me wrong, I love the character design and the eyes usualy look stunning. This game has some of the most beautiful chars ever. But from time to time, there is a picture were they look kinda off. As if the edge of the pupil looks washed out or something like that. Hard to explain. Its always the pictures were the eyes dont reflect. I put a picture with two screenshots in the post. Maybe its possible to "sharpen" the irises a little or put some "shine" or reflections in without to much effort? Hope that are the right terms. I tryed playing a little with paint to make the Iris circles a little more defined and to put some reflection dots in, but my skills are nonexistent. Sorry.
But maybe its intentional, than forget everything i wrote ^^
Oh, and i have a little question. I noticed that you decided to give the MC a face in the latest update. Can i ask why that is? I had the feeling you, like most good game creators, try to avoid that. Always showing him from behind or with something in the way. But now its different and im curious ^^'
Sorry for the wall of text and the bad english. And thanks again for one of the best Adult novels on this platform!
Hey, thanks for the detailed comment; I always love to hear that people are really enjoying the story!
For your first question - You're spot on about why I avoided giving significant choices; I feel like avoiding them allows me to craft a much tighter story. As for including small flavour choices; I certainly could, it would be a little more work, but nothing prohibitive. The main reason I don't is because I feel like a lot of players actually don't like too many choices; they feel that they introduce an element of uncertainty about choosing wrong and missing content, when really they just want to read a good story. I honestly don't know if the way I'm doing it is better or worse, but at this point I think I'll stick to what's been working. Whenever Cosy Cafe finally finishes, I might consider changing things like that for my next project.
So the second question about the eyes - I notice the same problem occasionally while I'm rendering, and try to avoid it when I do; but it's subtle enough that I sometimes miss it. The problem is actually caused by the scene lighting and the way it interacts with the eyes from different angles, so unfortunately it's not as easy as just fixing the models.
As for the final question - I do try to hide the MC's face where possible, and I'm never going to show full frontal shots of it, but I do put some profile shots in when it's necessary to make a render work. I think the first one was actually on day 18 when the MC is sitting in the corridor outside of Sarah's room, though perhaps the one in the latest update was a little more revealing. I don't plan on going really beyond the side shots you've already seen though.
And your English was perfect! Thanks again for the comment.
Already planing the next game? Applying for the position of “Personal Hero" here? I think my kitchen could work with one XD
"Flavour choices" is the perfect word for what i had in mind but couldnt articulate.
I understand what you mean with uncertainty. I find myself more often than not rolling back in games with lots of choices. When i care about the characters that is. And the full sandbox audience is certainly a different one than the one for (mostly) pure Novels.
Kinda related to the eyes part, i have another question now. Only if its not to long to answer. Dont wanna steal your time. I honestly thought that you draw the screnes yourself with a little software assitance for skin texture and stuff because it would take weeks for a single szene otherwise. How much real drawing is it realy?
Thanks for the flattery XD
Thanks a lot for the fast and detailed answer! Oh, and merry christmas to you and your loved ones!!
Actually there's no drawing involved at all. All of the images are created in 3D rendering software, and then touched up and enhanced in digital image editing software.
As always, I'm sorry for my terrible English because I use a translator.
I can simply call you teacher, I love the ease of the script, it doesn't saturate me with the story or the intimate moments, and I don't know if you've done anything with the model of the characters' eyes, but they seem to have more truly expressive faces than in each update. You improve more and more without a doubt this has become my top 1 in every sense
Hello, dear friend. I really liked your novella, I was not into them before, but suddenly I accidentally saw yours, and I was simply amazed by how the characters are written, their character and behavior in a given situation. I am inspired by the character of the main character, his calm and collectedness. I would like to know the answers to several questions:
1) How long will the story go? How many updates do you plan to make until the end of the story?
2) How often will this masterpiece be updated?
3) Will new girls be added? And will the main character have a limit?
Thanks in advance for the answers, and thanks again for such an inspiring story. By the way, greetings from Russia :)
Cosy Creator hasn't replied yet, so I am taking the liberty of telling you what I know.
The first release was about two years ago and included the first 10 days. Since then there have been 10 more releases and 16 new in-game days. I think that's pretty fast for a game of this quality.
Elsewhere, Cosy Creator has recently provided an outline of future game content. Sounds to me like material for another 2 years of updates at this rate at the very least, maybe even a lot more. Cosy Creator did not mention additional girls, and with the potential love interests we have encountered so far, it already looks like a potentially huge harem. On the other hand, there will be time skips to university, so some university students may be added. (At the very least Samantha, who already has a crush on the MC but is so far classified as a side character.)
I am not sure what you mean by limit. A limit on the harem size? Since the novel is essentially kinetic (i.e. linear), the harem has the same size in every play-through.
Hey, sorry I missed replying to this! I get a tonne of messages after a release, and somehow this one slipped through. Most of the questions have already been answered, though I would say there is probably around 4 years of content left to develop, going by my current plan. There is one more side love-interest yet to be introduced (a childhood friend of the MC), but other than that the main cast is set at this point.
Hey just wanted to know how to delete saves with the new ui, originally it could be done by hovering the mouse over the save and hitting the delete key but its not working. btw the game is amazing, like top 3 best vns out there, been following since initial release
it would be very hard to get dubcon right within the writing, (usually gets way too rapey, it is a hard line to ride down the middle) but if they pull it off well, her being super into it whilst very vocally protesting could actually be the hottest thing ever.
It fits the emerging personality of our MC, just need him to be strong enough to hold her in a full nelson and smash her back doors in whilst she's losing it trying to come to terms with the fact that she loves it.
I really enjoy this game. Couple of points though. When you download a game with the word 'cozy' in the title what you do not really expect is political intrigue and backstabbing. Kinda tonal whiplash.
Secondly the 3D models. The girls models are amazing. Like a 3D modeling master lovingly crafted each one over a solid week. The men on the other hand looks like someone watched a couple of YouTube tutorials then banged them all out in a single afternoon. They are TERRIBLE. The contrast is actually immersion breaking. I get the girls are obviously the draw and I would never tell you how to make your own game but I'm just wondering if there's any chance they'll get another pass?
When the girls are in the cafe, the intrigue and backstabbing doesn't follow them in. And I think the dev is British, and over there, "Cozy" is famous rock drummer.
I'm surprised how good this AVN is. This, is up there with Harem Hotel with writing and just building characters to where you actually care about them. And I can't wait to see where the story goes.
As someone who has played quite a lot of AVNs, I'm genuinely surprised I've never heard about this one before because it quickly got into my top 10 list, which was particularly surprising considering it doesn't have any choices or other kinds of interactive aspects. While I usually prefer a bit more variety than just maledom, it does a very good job establishing a relatively healthy dynamic in that regard, with a few exceptions but they're so minor that they don't really matter. So it's not really a criticism by any means as that would be like criticising a horror movie for not being funny.
That being said, how much new content is usually added in every update? Because if it's just an hour or so I might wait until a couple more have been released as I prefer waiting longer for more content at once. But if it's 3+ hours it's definitely worth getting every new update.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! The next update is around 25,000 words - having asked quite a few players, I find the average speed people get through it is a little over 10k words per hour, but there is massive individual variation. So really it just depends how fast you are.
I simply love this game, have played it since its first release. I just have one simple thing to say, I think it's time that the MC says "I love you" to atleast lucy for now
I mean, writing is really amazing, and you really knows how write in style.
But, One component is missing.
Lovey-dovey is missing , its blunt, too formal.
There were many moments when i would have squeezed the life out of girl by hugging her…But mc in game got chocked and turned into formality, bit robotic , unemotional.
Anyway its still very good. As i said, youreally knows how to wrap words nicely and it was pleasant to read.
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed it! The MC being a bit emotionally guarded is deliberate at this point. He has a character arc, just like the girls do. Eventually he will open up more.
Spoiler free! This game is easily one of the best AVN's I've read so far, as for someone who plays these games mainly for the lore rather than the scenes. The romantic chemistry between everyone was very organic. The writing and setting were all neatly planned and executed. At first it was about internal problems and conflicts but it got dialed up to an 11 when the real story started about the shady happenings in the city that our protagonist has been living in. There's really nothing much else to say other than this was very well made! If i was to be ask if there was something to be improved on, i might stretch it and say "Speed of days" or "in game time". If you were to take the days and everything that's been happening in the story, it'd be pointing out that everything happened so fast within just days where as it shouldve taken at least a few months if it were to happen realistically. This isn't inherently bad though, as it avoided the thing that most AVN's do which is dragging out some bullshit for content padding. If it needs to be that fast then i don't mind that much as i understand that thinking of more content is not that easy of a task. But to be honest, i think im just biased about the pacing thing because i couldnt get enough of the storyline LMAO (so don't mind me about "realistic timing" this is an AVN afterall and like i said, im just salty that i reached the end so fast and i wanted more). On a serious note, it really is one of the best AVN's out there. I've read/played tons of AVN's (and story-driven sandboxes)and i can confidently say that this is the 7th game that i placed in my S-tier AVN's alongside the greatest AVN's in this site. I won't drop game names out of respect for the dev but i think if you know, you know (currently i only have 8 games on that list and i've played close to about 60 AVN's). Thank you for this wonderful piece that im happily attached to now. Keep up the good work and i hope for the best Cosy!!! PS: I was gonna rate this game much much earlier (like close to 2 months ago) i think but i forgot and got distracted by other AVN's lol.
I'd enjoy the rest of content especially after the 0.9 chapter but I hope that the next update will took longer time to finish because I love the story
This has quickly become one of my favorite AVNs ever. Of all time. It feels like it was made specifically for me:
Inheriting a business: check
Top tier love interests with good variety: check
Clear communication between the MC and the girls: check
And on top of that, all the intrigue with the Founding Families, and just generally being incredibly well written... I'm hooked, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
I'm really enjoying this story. I like the girls and want to know more about each of them but I really wish there was more Lucy. She was so sweet and the interactions with her were cute in the beginning but I feel like she's been pushed out by all the others in the harem. It's hard to write content for so many but I feel like she needs more time with the MC so that she's "seen" like she was in the beginning.
I do agree that I feel as though furthering Lucy's story would be nice. To be honest, I was expecting some form of a follow-up 'retaliation' from her mother, to be honest. I mean, the cafe is really close to where she lives so there is no way her mother doesn't know where she is currently staying.
The challenge, I imagine, would be maintaining good pacing. Especially considering we are in the middle of establishing the dynamic between the MC and the other Founding Family heads and their daughters (Sarah, Hannah, Cathrine and Elizabeth).
I agree. I think this is one of the biggest issues with Harem themed games in general is pacing and development and giving everyone the attention they need/deserve.
Overall I think Cosy Cafe is doing a good job of managing that but as a player I can't help but want more. I think ultimately I just don't want anyone but particularly Lucy to be lost in the shuffle.
Yea, it is sort of a necessary evil, when you think about it. Everyone has their favorites and so no matter what someone will be wishing their favorite gets "more" attention. All you can really hope for is that the pacing remains solid, which I agree with you that Cosy does a great job of keeping the pace.
I think I mentioned it before in a comment, but I would love to know more about the clumsy white-haired girl, Anabella.

If you like the game in the end don’t try to fix what doesn’t need to be fixed.
Is the 0.11 update a big one , normal or small one ?
It's a single day, but it's 25,000 words; making it the second largest update I've done iirc
Do you mean that the whole new update will be a one day in the game or a one day from playing the game?
I’m still in the 18th day tho , also i love your game si much and i like how the mc treat the girls, he is actually like me haha
It's one in-game day (Day 26). And thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far; personally I think it only gets better from day 18 onwards!
Day 26 ? So the last 2 updates are only 2 days ? , whyyy 😭😭 , I DON’T WANT THE GAME TO END THAT FAST 😭
salut, y'a t'il une traduction française ?
Thank you for your game, also it being free. Most are stuffed in kennels and only fed steroids produced in cash cows science labs.

is this game free? i saw this on the bundle hosted by The Mithril Hourglass and i wonder if it ended, is this game going to be paid or nah?
Yep, the game is free.
Thanks for the quick reply! The Game Is Great:)
No problem. Thanks!
will the game download be updated or will we have to redownload?
When the update comes out? You'll have to redownload it.
alright, thanks so much
我很喜欢这个游戏，请问它是否支持中文
Nope, there is no official translation - However I do know that there is an unofficial one out there on the internet somewhere.
This is only your first AVN that's crazy this is such a great story i keep just waiting and waiting for more I'm definitely a huge fan of this ill definitely be waiting for more stuff to come.

Hello, I wanted to ask you.
Patreon release, is this the full version that will be released here?
Or is beta coming to patreon?
Content wise it's the full version, though it has a complete UI overhaul that is still a little buggy, and that should be fixed before the public release.

这个游戏可以存档和继承吗？
大佬有没有中文翻译啊，我不怎么会英语
It's a kinetic novel, there aren't any meaningful choices.

Most of the questions have already been answered, though I would say there is probably around 4 years of content left to develop, going by my current plan. There is one more side love-interest yet to be introduced (a childhood friend of the MC), but other than that the main cast is set at this point.
And thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it!
Hey just wanted to know how to delete saves with the new ui, originally it could be done by hovering the mouse over the save and hitting the delete key but its not working. btw the game is amazing, like top 3 best vns out there, been following since initial release
Hey, thanks! The ability to delete saves was lost during the creation of the new UI, however it is going to be added back in an upcoming patch.
wish you could make a external download mainly cuz it doesnt download fully before it stops
Great game, awesome story. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Any chance of an update soon? Really enjoying the story!
Happy to hear that! The next update, 0.11, will be up on patreon in less than 24 hours.
And when will the public release be
Usually a month
By far one of the greatest VNs i have read in a long time! I will be subscribing on patreon . Cant wait for more!!
Well I picked this up on a whim because I was in the mood for something light and easy to get in to.
I am now deeply invested in the Machiavellian escapades of a small town council and one incredibly well organised teen.
Damn good stuff cosy creator.
Also I feel personally called out by the suggestion that we want to fuck the stupid out of the annoying class feminist.
Honestly so long as that comes after giving Akatsuki one up the Jacksie, I'll be truly happy with this project.
Can't wait for more!
I agree with the idea of fucking the feminist, but make her submissive. hardcore BDSM
it would be very hard to get dubcon right within the writing, (usually gets way too rapey, it is a hard line to ride down the middle) but if they pull it off well, her being super into it whilst very vocally protesting could actually be the hottest thing ever.
It fits the emerging personality of our MC, just need him to be strong enough to hold her in a full nelson and smash her back doors in whilst she's losing it trying to come to terms with the fact that she loves it.
she is clearly already into him and lying to herself. Only natural progression in things like this
It's possible I've forgotten hints, but that's not at all how I read things.
she masturbated to him fucking Lucy in Sarah's clubroom
I really enjoy this game. Couple of points though. When you download a game with the word 'cozy' in the title what you do not really expect is political intrigue and backstabbing. Kinda tonal whiplash.
Secondly the 3D models. The girls models are amazing. Like a 3D modeling master lovingly crafted each one over a solid week. The men on the other hand looks like someone watched a couple of YouTube tutorials then banged them all out in a single afternoon. They are TERRIBLE. The contrast is actually immersion breaking. I get the girls are obviously the draw and I would never tell you how to make your own game but I'm just wondering if there's any chance they'll get another pass?
Thanks for making a great game!
When the girls are in the cafe, the intrigue and backstabbing doesn't follow them in. And I think the dev is British, and over there, "Cozy" is famous rock drummer.
'And I think the dev is British, and over there, "Cozy" is famous rock drummer.'
... yes. I'm sure a drummer that was from the devs country and that died almost 30 years ago is super relevant to the name of this AVN.
Only time you'll find it spelled with a Z over there.
Wow. You still haven't told me what that has to do with the game.
Let me guess: you end sentences with "at" and use "anyways" all the time.
I'm surprised how good this AVN is. This, is up there with Harem Hotel with writing and just building characters to where you actually care about them. And I can't wait to see where the story goes.
As someone who has played quite a lot of AVNs, I'm genuinely surprised I've never heard about this one before because it quickly got into my top 10 list, which was particularly surprising considering it doesn't have any choices or other kinds of interactive aspects. While I usually prefer a bit more variety than just maledom, it does a very good job establishing a relatively healthy dynamic in that regard, with a few exceptions but they're so minor that they don't really matter. So it's not really a criticism by any means as that would be like criticising a horror movie for not being funny.
That being said, how much new content is usually added in every update? Because if it's just an hour or so I might wait until a couple more have been released as I prefer waiting longer for more content at once. But if it's 3+ hours it's definitely worth getting every new update.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! The next update is around 25,000 words - having asked quite a few players, I find the average speed people get through it is a little over 10k words per hour, but there is massive individual variation. So really it just depends how fast you are.
have Chinese?
Not officially. Though I've been told that there is an unofficial Chinese translation out there on the internet somewhere.
建议用MTOOL自动汉化，基本免费版就够了
just finished this game and i loved it keep up the amazing work. cant wait for the next update
damn i played this until 05:00 in the morning, i completly forgot time, amazing game, can't wait for more!
It's been a while since the last release.
Kinda starting to miss it...
*sniffs sniffs* Say, got anymore of those updates?
Aiming to get the next one up on Patreon on the 15th of December.
At least one good news then :)
I love your game! Great job.
Thank you!
I simply love this game, have played it since its first release. I just have one simple thing to say, I think it's time that the MC says "I love you" to atleast lucy for now
I mean, writing is really amazing, and you really knows how write in style. But, One component is missing. Lovey-dovey is missing , its blunt, too formal. There were many moments when i would have squeezed the life out of girl by hugging her…But mc in game got chocked and turned into formality, bit robotic , unemotional.
Anyway its still very good. As i said, youreally knows how to wrap words nicely and it was pleasant to read.
Thanks, happy to hear you enjoyed it! The MC being a bit emotionally guarded is deliberate at this point. He has a character arc, just like the girls do. Eventually he will open up more.
Hello, may I ask when the sequel will be released?
0.11 should be out on patreon mid December some time.
I'm really looking forward to the sequel, and I hope that the sequel will be much longer than in 0.10, where 2 days of continuation were added.
Spoiler free! This game is easily one of the best AVN's I've read so far, as for someone who plays these games mainly for the lore rather than the scenes. The romantic chemistry between everyone was very organic. The writing and setting were all neatly planned and executed. At first it was about internal problems and conflicts but it got dialed up to an 11 when the real story started about the shady happenings in the city that our protagonist has been living in. There's really nothing much else to say other than this was very well made! If i was to be ask if there was something to be improved on, i might stretch it and say "Speed of days" or "in game time". If you were to take the days and everything that's been happening in the story, it'd be pointing out that everything happened so fast within just days where as it shouldve taken at least a few months if it were to happen realistically. This isn't inherently bad though, as it avoided the thing that most AVN's do which is dragging out some bullshit for content padding. If it needs to be that fast then i don't mind that much as i understand that thinking of more content is not that easy of a task. But to be honest, i think im just biased about the pacing thing because i couldnt get enough of the storyline LMAO (so don't mind me about "realistic timing" this is an AVN afterall and like i said, im just salty that i reached the end so fast and i wanted more). On a serious note, it really is one of the best AVN's out there. I've read/played tons of AVN's (and story-driven sandboxes)and i can confidently say that this is the 7th game that i placed in my S-tier AVN's alongside the greatest AVN's in this site. I won't drop game names out of respect for the dev but i think if you know, you know (currently i only have 8 games on that list and i've played close to about 60 AVN's). Thank you for this wonderful piece that im happily attached to now. Keep up the good work and i hope for the best Cosy!!! PS: I was gonna rate this game much much earlier (like close to 2 months ago) i think but i forgot and got distracted by other AVN's lol.
Awesome review, thanks so much!
You're very much welcome ^^
I'd enjoy the rest of content especially after the 0.9 chapter but I hope that the next update will took longer time to finish because I love the story
0.11 is around 25k words, so a couple of hours probably, depending on how fast you get through it.
This has quickly become one of my favorite AVNs ever. Of all time. It feels like it was made specifically for me:
Inheriting a business: check
Top tier love interests with good variety: check
Clear communication between the MC and the girls: check
And on top of that, all the intrigue with the Founding Families, and just generally being incredibly well written... I'm hooked, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
I'm really enjoying this story. I like the girls and want to know more about each of them but I really wish there was more Lucy. She was so sweet and the interactions with her were cute in the beginning but I feel like she's been pushed out by all the others in the harem. It's hard to write content for so many but I feel like she needs more time with the MC so that she's "seen" like she was in the beginning.
I do agree that I feel as though furthering Lucy's story would be nice. To be honest, I was expecting some form of a follow-up 'retaliation' from her mother, to be honest. I mean, the cafe is really close to where she lives so there is no way her mother doesn't know where she is currently staying.
The challenge, I imagine, would be maintaining good pacing. Especially considering we are in the middle of establishing the dynamic between the MC and the other Founding Family heads and their daughters (Sarah, Hannah, Cathrine and Elizabeth).
I agree. I think this is one of the biggest issues with Harem themed games in general is pacing and development and giving everyone the attention they need/deserve.
Overall I think Cosy Cafe is doing a good job of managing that but as a player I can't help but want more. I think ultimately I just don't want anyone but particularly Lucy to be lost in the shuffle.
Yea, it is sort of a necessary evil, when you think about it. Everyone has their favorites and so no matter what someone will be wishing their favorite gets "more" attention. All you can really hope for is that the pacing remains solid, which I agree with you that Cosy does a great job of keeping the pace.
I think I mentioned it before in a comment, but I would love to know more about the clumsy white-haired girl, Anabella.
Do you have Chinese?
