Each day you meet specific characters and learn about their lives. You can also check out your customer's profile on social media via your character's smartphone.

Along with the narrative, there are minigames to brew various drinks using the ingredients in the coffee shop. How well you make the drinks can have an effect on the game's plot. There are lots of endings for each of the customers, who's stories range from the mundane to the personal.
