About Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly
Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is a narrative game in which you work as the barista of a small coffee shop that opens only at night. It was developed and published by Toge Productions and released on 20 April 2023 for Windows and macOS. The café stands in an alternate version of present-day Seattle, where humans share the streets with elves, orcs and many other kinds of people. Your job sounds simple: make the drinks your guests ask for, listen to what they have to say and let the evening unfold one conversation at a time.
Brewing is the core of every shift. Each order starts with a base and two more ingredients, and the list goes far beyond coffee. Tea, ginger, mint, chocolate and other items can be combined, so experimenting often reveals recipes you did not know existed. Some guests describe exactly what they want, while others only hint at a flavour or a feeling, and working out the right mix becomes a small puzzle. Getting it right keeps the conversation flowing in a good direction, and a wrong cup can change how a guest feels that night.
Latte art adds a creative touch to the routine. The milk is driven by a fluid simulation, so pouring and etching behave much like a real liquid in the cup. You can pour a base shape, invert it and etch lines to create hearts, leaves or something entirely your own. It is never required to finish the story, yet it gives each drink a personal signature and turns quiet moments behind the counter into something to look forward to.
The guests are the reason to stay. Baileys the elf, Lua and Myrtle the orc are among the regulars who sit at the bar, and each brings worries about work, family, love and the city around them. Their stories overlap from night to night, and small details mentioned in one evening can matter later. A lo-fi soundtrack plays in the background, so the café feels calm even when the dialogue becomes tense, and the pixel art keeps the focus on faces and expressions.
The pace is relaxed and personal. There is no timer pushing you to serve faster, and you can read every line at your own speed, which makes the game a good choice for an evening wind-down. Full controller support is listed, and players can also share custom content through the workshop. The game is rated USK 12 in Germany. Whether you come for the drinks, the latte art or the people, each night in the café adds another chapter to a gentle story about listening.
