Life in Jasskia: a Coffee Shop

☕ A Shop Survivor Simulator

Life in Jasskia: A Coffee Shop is a shop survivor simulator set in a crumbling economy.
Build your café, serve perfect espresso shots, and try to stay afloat in a country ruled by inflation, taxes, bribes, and harsh deadlines.
It's not just about brewing coffee. It's about outlasting the system.

🎮 What You’ll Do

🧱 Build your café from scratch
Start with an empty shop. Buy equipment like espresso machines, counters, speakers, and delivery tables. Place them anywhere—layout affects flow and efficiency.

📋 Create and manage your menu
You know every coffee recipe. What you can sell depends on what machines and ingredients you can afford. Want to serve cold brew? Buy the cold brew machine and add it to your menu.

💸 Take orders, make drinks, get paid
Customers queue, place their orders, and expect fast service. Make coffee manually or hire workers to automate. From espresso to ristretto, every second counts.

📈 Price your drinks in an unstable economy
All prices are in Jasskian Lida (JL), but the market is tied to a volatile dollar exchange rate. Daily price shifts mean that what you earned yesterday might be worthless tomorrow.
Track trends, adjust prices, and don’t let your savings rot—invest smart or get crushed by inflation.

⚙️ Hire staff and scale up
Bring in cashiers, baristas, and delivery runners. Expand your space, add more machines, and handle more customers—if you can afford the extra rent and wages.

💀 Survive the System

In Jasskia, missing a payment isn’t just bad—it’s lethal for your business.

• Forget to pay rent, taxes, or loans within two weeks? The government shuts you down. Game over.

• Fall behind on electricity bills or extortion payments? Your café is locked until you pay—if you can.

• Disappoint customers with slow service? Reputation drops. Fewer visitors. Lower prices. A death spiral begins.

• Hold onto your JL savings too long? Inflation eats it alive. What could’ve bought a machine yesterday buys you nothing tomorrow.

To win, you must deliver great coffee and navigate a collapsing financial system designed to crush you.
There’s only one rule in Jasskia: pay on time or close your doors.

🛠️ Development in Progress

Life in Jasskia: A Coffee Shop is currently in active development.
The core gameplay loop is fully playable and represents the foundation of the final game.

Planned systems currently in design or testing include:

• Coffee machine maintenance – Machines will break down over time, forcing you to manage repairs or face slower service.

• Café cleanliness – Dirt and clutter will reduce customer satisfaction, forcing you to clean and optimize your workspace.

• More recipes, machines, and visual upgrades – New tools will open up new strategies and customization options.

• Expanded financial systems – Fines, audits, and reputation-based regulation may challenge even veteran players.

Whether these features launch during beta or post-release depends on development support and community feedback.

📬 Add to Your Wishlist

Life in Jasskia: A Coffee Shop is being built by a solo developer who believes that survival mechanics and cozy visuals can (and should) coexist.

If you're interested in a different kind of café sim—one that challenges you to think, adapt, and pay attention to more than just foam quality—add the game to your wishlist and follow the development.

New systems, updates, and demos will be announced here first.
