Caffeine: Victoria's Legacy

The game is nice, decent story and good music background, however there are still some bug in the animation, the animation stop before the sentence finish, and sometime there is no voice at all. What I would suggest is try to shortening the coffee "fun facts" because for someone who does not care of coffee it is a real chore to click through all the coffee trivia. Editing: I switch this review in to not recommending since there is an scenario that is written for the purpose of the writers ideology. "Gender neutral" is idiotic, their is plural and for s.o you don't know their gender, and "Mx" is not a thing. If anyone can stomach this stupid ideology, feel free to buy it. If not, it is an easy pass.

First I have to say; I really don't like coffee. Neither the taste, or the smell. I don't know anything about coffee, and I am not interested in brewing it, or anything related to coffee. But I really like this game! This review is for the early access version. I didn't play it all the way trough yet, but since there aren't any other reviews I wanrted to give out an impression. I gonna update it as soon as the full version of it is released. The story is very interesting, (although it revolves a lot around coffee), it has a pleasant pace. It's nice to have another VN whose corestory is not about romance. And it is SO well written. SO SO well! I already played a lot of visual novels and rarely I have read such an almost poetic style. The story got me hooked right from the start. But bring a lot of time, this VN isn't done in a few hours, even if you are a fast reader. The characters are very likeable. Not your often seen "aaah, but seenpai, I am uuugly" etc. The Artstyle is amazing, t...

[h1] One of best visual novels I've read[/h1] [h3]But so few people bought this game, that it still has a mark on steam page with "steam is learning about the game", after almost five years! This is a crime![/h3] I will be honest: Untill this game, I had a prejudice toward non-japanese visual novels. I always thought they were worse than japanese ones. And their maximum level is "not bad". Because of it, I pushed this vn far in backlog. But due to some reasons, I've read it now. And I am very impressed. There is recommend route order. First two routes are not that special. But next three are very good. I was totally invested. Time passed by in the blink of an eye while reading. And I got teary eyed during one particular scene at the end. I love when visual novels drive me to such strong emotions. There is romance, but story doesn't focus on it. Don't expect something like dating sim. Coffee play big part in the story. But you don't need to be coffee fan to enjoy this vn. Nice soundt...

Coffee! ( In all seriousness it's a pretty good visual novel and a fantastic story) I feel like this visual novel is on par with Crystalline which is one of my favourite visual novels that I have read. It also reminds me of Spice and Wolf. When I heard the opening song of this Visual Novel I knew I was going to be in for a treat. I loved the soundtrack of this visual novel and the art was fantastic. This Visual Novel also has a lot of good emotional moments and there are not a lot of visual novels that I could say made me feel moved in a emotional way before. The only thing about this visual novel is that it is a shame this visual novel wasn't fully voiced but it doesn't stop it from being a really good visual novel and story.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxwcQ1dapw8

I came to know of this VN's existence solely because I'm an avid coffee consumer and enjoyer and I was expecting this to take the concept of "coffee is everything" to the next level in creative ways. While the premise is fun and the abundance of coffee related trivia is relevant, I'm sad to say that there is nothing unique about it. Simply put, I've read a gazillion visual novels like this in the past. This is the primary reason why I dont recommend it at the current pricetag. Secondly, I dont think its worth it for the story because it has been told a million times before but better. In short, the protagonist gets isekai'd into "another world"(TM) which is all about coffee-making and coffee beans give people powers. There is a mystery involving the protagonist's mother missing, which is resolved in a pretty decent way. However, that's all there is to it. The story arcs are ridden with frivolous anime tropes that the industry regurgitates on a regular basis, to the point that I knew ...

I was one of this game's Kickstarter backers; I pledged and then paid AU$15, which is approximately US$11. I've never actually written a Steam review of a game before; this will be my first Steam review. Please keep in mind that I am not a professional critic or reviewer; I'm just a player, so I won't have quite the technical eye you might see in other reviews. And I absolutely love this game! If you're an aficionado of visual novels, or an aficionado of coffee, I strongly recommend this game. For one thing, the developers have really put a lot of work into lore and world-building; the fantasy city of Victoria has a LOT of detail put into its politics, its caffeine-based religion and magical powers, etc. For another thing, the romance options for the protagonist are attractive and interesting, and the voice actresses have clearly put a lot of work into making them feel alive. Eliza sounds appropriately charming, Alice sounds appropriately cute, Mel sounds appropriately go-getter an...

Caffeine: Victoria's Legacy is a story about finding love and happiness in a steampunk Victorian world, where coffee is the king and god. The main protagonist is Taka, the son of Taka coffee shop owners, who mysteriously lost his mother when he was 6 and trying to find what happened to her. He drinks strange coffee on a plane and falls off the plane and suddenly finds himself in Victoria city in front of "Taka Coffe House". The story is a sci-fi and fantasy mix, it is a little bit unusual, but still very interesting (coffee magic is fun). The world is well-written with both magic and steam machines coexisting. There are a lot of texts in the game, the authors tried to describe almost every aspect of Victoria city. A lot of attention in game is paid to its political, economic and social state with a great influence of COFFEE. Coffee is the core engine of the Victoria and it's citizens, so be ready to learn a lot of fun facts about coffee during your journey. The visual part of t...

Very unique game with an awesome story, world and soundtrack . The art is very nice , the lore and politics of the game are very intriguing with a well thought out structure .I have very few problems with the game, ( namely the main protagonist was a bit annoying at times ) Eliza and Oceane are my favorite routes and I was pleased with the endings and unexpected twists throughout the game. It was a joy to replay the game and pick up on things that you may have missed on previous play throughs. Very underrated game from what I can see , with tons of replay value and a very addicting game to go through with hours upon hours of enjoyment. One of my favorite visual novels as of finishing the game.

This VN greatly exceeded my expectations. I thought I was in for standard dating sim memes with a steampunk theme. What I got instead was an actual story with many interesting and intertwining threads, with a few dating sim memes mixed in. The soundtrack was alright, it wasn't very memorable but it set the mood for each scene. I had some technical issues which could only be resolved by turning off video sprites although the dev seems to be pretty quick with respect to patching these up. Overall, this game feels like a hidden gem I would highly recommend.

This game is absolutely wacky..... Now with that being said I've been really enjoying playing this game and exploring its world. It takes place in an alternate world than the one we find ourselves in, and takes a good look on whats different while also staying on track in the story. On a side note, I'm a history buff so it was very fun to hear what happened to the USA and Australia in this timeline. There were multiple cases where I'm on the edge of my seat because the twist and turns this game takes leaves you wanting to see what happens next. Also there are multiple cases, that because of the events within the game I was genuinely hurt by what was happening and was found with issues that were unexpectedly difficult. I did not expect this game to have all of this in, and while not completely done, the voice acting that is in the game is top notch and you could feel the emotions. The writing especially in sad points of the game really made me feel for the main character in ways I didn'...
