I'm kinda torn on this one for whether I can recommend it or not, because it's kind of only good for a bit. As you get progressively farther into the game, you get less of the core gameplay oddly. So this is an excessively cautious recommendation. So the start of the game isn't bad. Yes, the game is buggy AF, janky beyond belief, the game mechanics are often annoying, and that's even before you get to the bad animations, the poor engrish and so on, but it has a sort of "old b-movie so bad it's good" kind of thing going on anyway, so with the cheap price, it's sort of fun still. I could actually recommend it on sale. After a while into the game though, the management aspects of the game start to dry up, and because as far as I can tell, you can't hire a waitress, that becomes your job instead. You sit at your computer, wait for someone to request something from the kitchen, grab it, and bring it out to them by trying to figure out where they are in the building to drop it on their desk before they run off. Also every morning you have to go around checking all the room temperatures for 2-3 hours in case the game randomly decided to duplicate all the AC units without warning, and then wait for the rooms to heat up or cool down enough to actually be able to let anyone into the cafe or they just run off after 5 minutes annoyed. There doesn't seem to be any way to prevent people from watching porn on the computers, and then they complain that someone was watching porn in the cafe. No, I don't mean they complain that someone ELSE was watching porn, the way it's set up is THE PERSON WATCHING IT COMPLAINS and leaves a bad review every time because of it. Like, lady, you were literally the only person in the whole cafe. This is 100% on you. ...I could go on and on about a lot of other things that are annoying, but the fact of the matter is that it's still kind of fun for the most part up until you stop managing an internet cafe and start being a waitress. That's... not what I signed up for. I signed up for a hilariously poorly programmed and badly designed tycoon game, and that's what it started out as. I actually enjoyed it at that stage of the game. And then it just kind of stopped being about doing that. So it's good for a few hours if you don't mind uberjank gameplay, it just kinda dies off in fun after a while because it stops being about what the game is about. To give people who aren't scared off by this description so far an idea of the early game though, just a simple example: You start off with a baseball bat as an item. Why? Because you need to beat people with it. A lot. Someone didn't pay their bill? Chase them out into the street and beat the money out of them. Thief sneaking into your place? Spend 6+ seconds getting up from your computer because of the slow animation, grab the bat, and by this time the thief is already in the other room, smack them with the bat, they ragdoll into a desk and knock one of the patrons off their computer and throw half the room into chaos by knocking everything over. Drunk homeless guy shows up? Beat them with the bat and have half your customers praise you for saving them and the other half leave a bad review for brutality. If that sounds entertaining to you, then you will probably enjoy this game for at least a few hours, and honestly, you're probably not going to be paying much for it anyway. Just go in with the understanding that eventually you're going to strap on a pair of rollerskates like it's a 1950s drivethru is all instead of running a jank AF internet cafe.

🎯 Rating: 6/10 📜 Overview Internet Cafe Simulator is a business simulation game where players build and manage their own internet café. The game allows for customization, business expansion, and various side activities, from hiring employees to dealing with in-game challenges like thieves and cybercriminals. While the idea is fun, the game has technical flaws, bugs, and lacks long-term depth. 🌟 Pros ✅ Creative Concept – A unique simulation about managing an internet café. ✅ Customization – You can decorate, expand, and improve your café. ✅ Side Activities – Mini-games, investing in cryptocurrency, illegal businesses, and more. ✅ Progression System – Unlock new equipment and grow your café. ⚠️ Cons ❌ Bugs & Glitches – Frequent technical issues affect gameplay. ❌ Lack of Depth – The game can feel repetitive after a few hours. ❌ AI & NPC Issues – Customers and interactions can feel robotic. ❌ Performance Problems – Poor optimization, even on decent PCs. ❌ No Real Storyline – Lacks engaging narrative elements. 💬 Player Sentiment Positive: Fans enjoy the business-building mechanics and sandbox-style freedom. Negative: Many criticize bugs, lack of polish, and repetitive gameplay. 🏆 Rating Breakdown 🎮 Gameplay: 6.5/10 (Fun but lacks long-term engagement) 🖥️ Graphics & Performance: 5/10 (Outdated visuals, performance issues) 💰 Business Mechanics: 7/10 (Decent but simplistic) 🎭 AI & NPCs: 5/10 (Lifeless and buggy at times) 🌍 Replayability: 6/10 (Good for a few hours, then gets stale) 🎯 Final Verdict Internet Cafe Simulator offers an interesting business simulation experience, but bugs, AI issues, and a lack of depth hold it back. If you're into casual sim games and don't mind the jank, it can be a fun time-waster, but don't expect a polished or deep management experience.

As somebody who has gotten all of the achievements, this game is fun once you get the hang of it. So, ill share some do's and dont's to help you get the hang of it. DO: Get the bodyguard. He might be a little expensive in the beginning, but in the long run, he will be very helpful. DON'T: Use the S-Start. While it may give you double the starting money, you will have to pay hefty fees over time, which can massively slow down progress. DO: Get BTC miners. You can find them behind the "indian restraunt yoshi" (that is so messed up) building, but when you do, you'll have to start looking out for police emails. If the police are going to visit you, you'll want to turn off all of your BTC miners, as any of the miners left on will be confiscated. DON'T: uh, idk DO: Get arcade machines. They might be a little expensive, but can get you lots of money fast. So those are some tips and trick i've learned from playing this. Sorry i couldn't be of more help, but tbh id rather not write any more lol. Good luck!

played it in 2020 and it was nice, short and not a challenging. good to pass time.

A pretty cool game, but it sadly gets pretty annoying and repetetive. The achievements are a little twitchy. The "tutorial" for the stations are a little to less. A bit more introduction and a bit of story would have been very nice. Still a pretty nice game. A bit pricy looking at the content of the game but not too much to be a scam. I can recommend this game
