Story and Characters
The narrative follows a sorceress‑barista who meets customers from all walks of life, learns their secrets, and helps them confront inner demons by entering their minds. This process deepens your understanding of each customer’s troubles.
Forming special bonds with customers you feel affinity toward shapes the sorceress’s personality, allowing you to become the approachable figure described in the game’s premise.
- Observe each customer’s dialogue for clues about their fears before entering their mind.
- Notice how repeated choices affect later conversations and relationship depth.

Reverse Tower Defense Mechanics
Inside a customer’s mind you face a card‑based reverse‑tower‑defense challenge. Selecting routes and playing cards determines whether the inner demon is defeated or the customer is lost.
The mechanic emphasizes choosing routes and cards wisely rather than traditional tower building, requiring careful planning of each move to guide the customer safely.

- Choose your routes and cards wisely to guide the customer to safety.
