~Cafe Mysteria~
Hey everyone, thanks for reading this! I'm in the middle of re-writing and expanding Cafe Mysteria's original script and I need feedback on some stuff.1) Would you prefer if the butlers kept their school outfits like in the 2015 version, or if they wore traditional butler outfits instead (think Kuroshitsuji)?
2) How much "adult content" player choice options would you be comfortable with seeing in the game? Answer yes/no to the following:
(Note that these are all optional and the player does not have to engage if they do not want to)
- Suggestive 18+ jokes and banter?
e.g. "Why don't you meet me tonight and find out?"
- Implied and/or actual lovemaking scenes? (The original only went as far as a kiss and nothing more, I may... or may not change that)
3) If there was an option to pick between an 'all ages' version and a '15+' version of Café Mysteria, which would you play?
- All ages: No suggestive banter, all difficult themes will be kept to a minimum and glossed over, cute and fluffy will be more of the focus. Any morally questionable choices will not be present as an option.
- 15+: Suggestive banter is optional, difficult themes will be explored in greater detail with the player being able to offer a huge variety of advise to the butler, including some morally questionable ones, may have implied lovemaking scenes, any detailed lovemaking scenes if present may be switched on/off.
Welcome to Cafe Mysteria, a mysterious cafe that only opens from 21st December to 1st January. Not only is it's sudden appearance a reason for doubt, so are the flashy butlers working inside of it. Dressed in a prestigious school uniform - the player is also given one upon entry - these flashy butlers are a reason for suspicion. Questions about it's origin are discouraged or outright ignored. It's sole purpose? - For the player to have the best time of their life.
The waiters are accommodating, the food is delicious and the drinks are... (to put it in a nice way) exquisite. The waiters that serve you are outright random - no strategy can help you there (except one!). Build your trust with the waiters and get them to like you - or just breeze through the 12 days and let nature take it's course - everything is up to you! On the surface, it's all happy and joyful, but as you go deeper - if you wish - you can uncover each character's backgrounds and secrets as well as get them to like you - or hate you.
~Your character~
- Heroine
Fujimoto Haru(藤本春)
The Bubbly Type
- Haru
Ain't you a shy one?~<3
A sweet and bubbly companion with an addiction for <3 and usually uses them in his sentences. Warms up to you easily and isn't very hard to impress. Fun to tease as he gets flustered easily, yet easily forgiving. Inspite of his energetic personality he hides a sad secret underneath. One that is related to his headphones as well as a disturbing past. He calls you by your name.Yoshida Kyou(吉田協)
The "Senpai" Type
- Kyou
I'm so glad to see you again, milady.
A somewhat smiley companion but with an underlying fear of companionship - a fear of hurting people. Due to that, it's not to easy to break past his shell of fanciful words to his true heart. He tries hard to please everyone due to his disastrous past, hiding his true self in the process. He calls you milady at first but learns to call you by your name later. Fujioka Shin(藤岡真)
The Prince Type
- Shin
After all, what drink is better suited for a princess?~<3
A friendly person with a sad past. Seems very nice and flirty at first but actually distances himself from people, remaining passive inside - or at least trying to. Your friendly demeanor, however, plants the seeds of doubt in him, making him question his behavior. He likes to talk about his family when he's melodramatic. He calls you by your name, with the suffix '-sama'.Zhāng Tiān(张天)
The wild type
- Zhang Tian
欢迎光临! 我叫张天, 今日将为您服务。
The most mysterious of the lot. He only speaks Chinese and refuses to tell you his age. At the beginning, it's hard to communicate with him but once you get it across that you don't speak Chinese you start to bind closer to him. Out of all of them, he's the one with the darkest and most secret past. He calls you by your name or just 'you'. Can unlock to English language.Features Interactive First-hand game style.
The characters talk to the player as if they were talking directly to you. Player personality is kept to a minimum to make it as realistic as possible and choices are quite a number. Most of the time it's just one-sided talking like "Amnesia(Game)" to give the direct feel. Your companion is random although there is a way(cheat) to get the same bachelor on each visit. You talk to the waiters, get to know them, tease them, have serious talks with them, make them embarrassed (especially Haru), let them walk you home/drive you home, let them take you on Christmas dates, hear their stories (see them draw - maybe?), celebrate Christmas eve with all of them, and possibly uncover their life story before the time is up.

Preview:
I really like the characters and the art is beautiful. As for me, I wouldn't really care about the theme being Christmas or New Years or Valentine's as long as the game itself is fun, but I think you should just keep doing what you're doing.
