The day-end screen is now a mail client. Inbox on the left, reading pane on the right: the day's report and the day's letter in one place. Offers are real two-sided decisions — every option tells you what it will do, and turning one down costs something too. They have deadlines now, so some of them you can sleep on.

Cafe Rules. Policies are now levels of a single perk, and every one of them is a verb: hold a desk for VIPs, close the arcade hall, change the vending rule, decide how you treat underage customers.

The save system was rewritten. Five slots, named after your cafe, update-proof, wired to Steam Cloud.

A forced choice at the end of day one. You take one of three cards; no putting it off.

The demo has an arcade now. The demo's headline feature was never actually in it — now it is unlocked from level 1. The slice got longer too: Lv 8 / Day 8 → Lv 10 / Day 12.

Being broke no longer means a dead desk. A player who couldn't afford a repair was left with a broken desk and no way back. Now you can repair on credit — the coin comes off the day's takings — or a free temporary patch brings the desk back at low durability.

Reputation. An ordinary customer who leaves happy without ordering anything now earns reputation too.

An empty desk says so. While a customer waits at the door, a free desk is marked by its own frame.

Fixes

  • The "busload of customers" event crashed the game: the screen went black and the sound cut out

  • The bargain PC produced a dead desk nobody could sit at

  • Arcade sessions gave no XP at all

  • The day kept running while the policy panel was open

  • Mail chip overlap in the top bar, the colour of clickable shop rows, white triangles on the arcade, cash box alignment

  • Auto-speed follows how urgent the work is, and shows its speed

  • Tips throughout the game, tutorial repeats, keyboard reminders
