Coffee Crush
"Interesting. Is today a special day?"
"What could be better than a cup of hot coffee on a winter morning?"
- Liam
I'm proud to present you my very first Visual Novel - Coffee Crush. It is a light romantic story about Liam - a handsome barista who you secretly have crush on for a long time.
This game was made as an attempt to learn the process of creating a visual novel game in Renpy from scratch. It took about a month, considering the fact that I was busy with other work and personal matters.
Can you make Liam blush?? Let's find out! :)
Dedicated to all coffee lovers including me! <3

Thank you sooo much! I'm glad you liked it ^^ I'll do more games like this~~
Wow, that was so cute:)
Can't wait for the sequel. I want a Christmas Eve date! Liam is so handsome)
Also nice soundtrack and color scheme. Good luck with the sequel, I'll be waiting!
I recommend it!!
Haha, thank youuu!!! :3 I'm so glad you liked it.
A sequel, ha? I'll think about it~~
Love this game! A small typo -> "You chucke but suddenly realized" I believe should be you chuckled
Oh, thank you!^^ I'll check on that mistake. And I'm glad you liked it!
Absolutely fantastic result for the first time. On the top of others comments I’d like to compliment the way you made all of the UI and menu design. It’s a very inspiring example - thank you for it!
And please make more!!!
Thanks a lot! I'll do my best to keep up^^
Really cute game! Especially for your first one? I'm beyond amazed. I love the cute little dialouge with Liam (i'm now in love with him). Also extremely addicted to coffee so this is literally the perfect game. Hope to see more like these types of games from you!
Thank you and hello fellow coffee lover!!! I'm so flattered~~ and I'm so happy that you liked Liam! Will do my best to make more awesome games.
Ain't no way this is you're first game, it's amazing!!! Btw the part the ice skating really got to me, I always wished and still wish that the first time I'm trying it it will be with my future boyfriend
Thank you so much! Such comments are very inspiring!^^ I love everything about winter, so I'm absolutely down for such cute dates. Already working on my next game.
Just published a game and already making another... I'm impressed by your passion but make sure to take a break if needed ♥
PS: I would love to hear about what cute dates you'd recommend
I took part in my first jam haha, and I had only 2 days to create a visual novel, so I jumped in immediately. Feel free to check it on my page^^
About cute dates... I think the ones where you explore something new together are the best:) like to go see the art exhibition (any art space is good) - you can find out about person's tastes, or go and try bouldering (indoor rock climbing) or bowling - I'm always down to active dates, cuz you can get to know your li better:)
