Café Seventeen is a simulation-driven management game about running a small café in a near-future society where humans and “beastkin” live under the pressures of labor, survival, and social marginalization. On the surface, the project takes the form of a cute café management game: the player hires staff, arranges furniture, creates menus, serves customers, manages daily business hours, and tries to keep the café profitable. Beneath that surface, however, the game is built around some more complex questions: how can a management system make the player feel the tension between efficiency and care?
