You open the game and start a new save. The starting cinematic shows you the main character, the setting and the situation at hand.
The chill music starts and there’s a bell chime as the game begins.
Your boss pops up and greets you, and shows you the different parts of the “workday”. First he tells you about dialogue, showing dialogue choices and how they work. Then he tells you about the cafe app and how to navigate it.
He asks you to brew him a Latte. Through dialogue windows (background dialogue) you continue to get instructions as you turn to the brewing bar and choose the right ingredients in their right order and pour them into the cup. Then he asks you to serve it.
As he’s drinking his cup a friend of his comes in, your boss asks you to take their order. They make an order (London fog), with which you get less help, just indicators like arrows. After the drink is made the client also asks for a pastry (a Cookie), with which your boss helps you add to the order.
Once you’ve clicked the serve button your boss stops you. He asks of your abilities and asks you to make this brew especially happy.
This shows you to the put in mood/emotion thing and tutorialises it.
Then you can serve this order. The client says thanks and leaves. Your boss mentions that not everyone stays at the bar/in the cafe after ordering. He says you two are ready for the day.
Press B button/click to turn the open sign.
Throughout the day there is 6 more clients (usually randomised by time but this is the tutorial). Some stay and talk for a little bit.
