The story is too good and touching that I want it to continue... I wonder what exactly happened to Mina after that day and if she was able to save Alex and live a happy life together. I hope this comment would make the developers continue the story (Sorry for my bad English if I did some spelling mistakes)
This game touched my heart in so many ways. The art style was just so sweet, and the story beautiful from start to finish. It made me feel so many emotions, that I almost cried at some points. I loved how there was no wrong choice and every ending felt meaningful and full of hope. It really did tell me something about healing and moving on. This is one of the best games I have ever played, and to me, the warmth I will always remember was that it brought.
I've just finished the game and upon looking for posts about it, I learnt that it was released on my birthday in 2021... Really, what a coincidence, because I'm almost at the same place as Mina at the start of the game. I keep grieving about the past we shared... This game is very special to me, not only because I can see myself in Mina but also because it was released on the most important day of my life, like it was a special birthday gift.
Hugs to Mina and to the dev team, thank you all for this game! I hope I can come to terms with the present and forgive myself soon. I must let them go, they have their lives and I have mine to care about, too.
hi! yes, if scroll down the comment section or if you check the postmortem post: https://mushroomallow.itch.io/edda-cafe/devlog/284311/edda-cafe-postmortem, you'll see that we've mentioned this novel several times already.
THE GAME ALMOST MADE ME CRYYY😭😭😭 I love love this so much!! I love the storyline and meaning of this game, it made me feel mixed emotions but nonetheless, i was very satisfied with the ending. Love love lovee this! this was my very first novel game that i've played, and it did NOT disappoint. Keep it up!!

(Dont mind the mic quality its sucks LOL)
I was startled by Taku's greetings😭
But anyways the game is heart warming, the theme is so cute, the characters are good, the story is well written; I love everything about this game. I don't regret pressing the download button and I don't think I'll ever delete it. Gonna keep the memories ya know ^_-
I love this game. It actually helped me a little bit, so thanks a lot. I really liked the characters of this game, and I would really like some more stories, like, making canon one of the endings and expanding them, it would be really interesting to see more problems in Mina/Rin/Taku's life, or perhaps new characters, either way, great game and would love a spinoff/sequel, etc....
Have a great day!!
Maybe you couldn't see my comment, but I will write what I felt when I played the perfect game "Edda's Cafe" .
First of all it's attractive. The design, the characters and the best of it the story of course. It's a fantastic shiny words and the effect of it's warm leave a beautiful touch on my heart. All the respect and thanks to your hard work.I wish I play another game like this amazing work.
!!! SPOILER AHEAD !!!

That's what Alex wanted to do: to have the courage to tell Mina about his condition while saying good bye to her and wished her for a happy life. But the story happened exactly because he didn't have the courage to do it. He thought it'll be easier for both of them if Mina just hate him and leave him, but it didn't cross his mind that what he did (just broke up with her without telling her anything) ended up putting Mina in years of guilt.
In the end, we wanted to make (sort of) happy ending for both Mina and Alex and hoped that the readers will be satisfied with it. Thank you for playing EDDA Cafe! ^^
This was a beautiful, sweet and amazing game! It was a great experience and a great story told, it really was! The art style was great and the music matched the tone well, though I felt like it could have been mellower music at times. It really was a beautiful story with a great moral meaning and decision behind it, well done!
i hate u bcs this made me cry so hard, both endings are beautiful and I love how they said theres no right or wrong answer, just follow your heart. I cant lie I love Taku so much and idk why but the fact that hes just a normal college part time worker is really sweet. are there any more Taku contents out there?
Thanks for playing EDDA Cafe! ^^
Taku seems to be the more popular guys instead of the main love interest, Alex XD. To be honest, we don't make a lot of side content for him since we're busy producing our new commercial title at the moment, but who knows, we might make a side story based on EDDA Cafe in the future if there's enough demand for it and since Taku is the waiter of EDDA Cafe, he'll definitely make a come back there.
I played recently andI was really fascinated with the story, I know that in itself, the story had good endings and was made to not be such a long story, but I would really enjoy a second part a lot, I am very intrigued as to what the day to day is like day of the protagonist after the two endings.
Even so, totally incredible, I will be encouraged to look at your other games, becausethis work left me enchanted.
It had a simple but concise story, the design and the characters are beautiful,you just did an amazing job.
Hi! Thanks a lot for the wonderful comments! I really appreciate it!
Considering that it's loved by a lot of people, maybe one day we'll make something based on EDDA Cafe, but for now we want to venture to another type of game and a whole different story to give us more experience on game development.
Let us know what you think of our other games, and we will be grateful if you look forward to our new game too! ^^
I played this game a while ago on stream since I'm a VTuber (My twitch ;) And I loved itt!! It was fun and heartwarming and I'm happy that I got to help Mina make the right choice in the end! Thank u mushroomallow for letting me be able to have this experience :D
Well, this game has both encouraged and emotionally damaged me. It's such a wonderful bittersweet story with A+ art that is so soft, and the music??? It made me bawl in the inside when I got to the endings... God, this is so good and it just reaffirmed what I've been abiding by "Sometimes kindness is all we need" and seeing Mina go through that rollercoaster was so painful because she's suffocating herself with the guilt-- I'm so glad she found peace in both endings, god do I want to work in Edda Cafe as well even though I'm sure I'd cry on the customers' behalf... AMAZING GAME LET ME JUST BREATHE CAUSE I'M CHOKING ON MY METAPHORICAL TEARS--
I'm very happy to know this game exists! This game kinda changes how I behave, I've become more caring towards other. Looking through by the story, it's very heartwarming and I sometimes sobs quietly. Hoping to see more from this team! You guys deserve more attention and kind reviews! You guys should be known world-wide!
But may I ask what game engine do you use for this?
I'm getting started on making visual novel, cute collecting game, RPG but I need recommendation for game engines.
Thank you for playing EDDA Cafe! As for game engine, we used Ren'py for all of our games so far. It also has a dedicated forum that still active to this day called Lemmasoft (https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/index.php). I've seen people make RPG-ish game using Ren'py but if you plan on having a lot of gameplay variations, I think Unity will be better for you.
Thanks for playing EDDA Cafe! You're right, the writer is inspired by those very title. You can read more about it in our post mortem : https://mushroomallow.itch.io/edda-cafe/devlog/284311/edda-cafe-postmortem
