Quick Overview
The Great Coffee Caper is a premium pixel-art adventure from Everyday Magic. It blends a cozy fantasy town setting with classic detective work: players step into the shoes of Detective Hootsworth to investigate the nighttime theft of the town’s coffee beans.
Story Premise
A violent storm has disrupted the town and someone has made off with the community’s prized coffee supply. As Detective Hootsworth, you’ll talk to townspeople, inspect locations across the settlement, and chase down leads in order to identify the thief and uncover motives.
Core Gameplay
Explore multiple areas around the forest village, interview a varied cast of characters, and collect evidence. Investigation involves more than simple dialogue—clues are revealed through distinctive “clue battle” sequences that borrow elements from bullet-hell style action, turning evidence-gathering into a reactive mini-game.
How the Investigation Works
Clues gathered from scenes and interviews must be combined to refine your list of suspects. Piecing evidence together will open new lines of inquiry and eliminate red herrings until the true culprit is revealed. Success depends on careful observation, questioning strategy, and mastering the clue-battle mechanics.
