fixedA Faster, Friendlier First Day This update rebuilds the opening minutes of the game around one goal: get you to the fun, fast — with zero interruptions. A smoother start Your very first game now skips the Starting Advantage screen and drops you straight into a balanced start (Entrepreneur loadout, Standard difficulty). From your second run on, the full loadout + difficulty choice is back. The cafe-name screen comes pre-filled with a themed suggestion — hit the 🎲 button to roll another, or type your own. One click and you're open for business. Day 1 opens alive: customers walk through the door right away, and your first payment lands within the first minute or two. The cafe is brighter on Day 1's morning. Tutorials that never stop the game Tutorial pop-ups no longer pause the game. All tips now arrive as small notification cards in the Status column — they queue up, stay readable, and a click dismisses them. No more "Got it" buttons. Seating your first customer is taught by the game world itself: the waiting customer pulses, then an empty PC — one short floating hint, zero pop-ups. When your first payment is ready, the PC pulses and a short hint shows you where to click. Tutorial hints can still be switched off in Settings — and doing so now also clears any hints already on screen. Fixes Group customers could never spawn if tutorial hints were disabled — fixed. Under the hood The game now keeps a small session log stored only on your device (it never leaves your machine) so we can keep tuning the opening minutes. The demo includes everything above. Thanks for playing — reviews and feedback shape these updates!
