The Combination Café

Welcome to the Combination Café! When you're here, you're friends, family, and probably something else!

The Combination Café is a short visual novel where you visit a unique café to work on a creative project. Have a chat, grab a drink, and make something during your stay!

Features a combination of:

• 3.3k words, 15-20 minutes of gameplay, & a few fun choices along the way!
• Collaged backgrounds and digitally drawn characters!
• Characters that combine identities, roles, and worlds in interesting ways!
• A menu of drinks and snacks that combine other drinks and snacks... in ways that maybe should not be attempted?
• 20 prompts to choose from to fight creative block and make something while you're playing!

The Combination Café is the first game in the Creative Block series, a collection of games that encourage creative play by asking the player to follow specific prompt constraints when making something. Per the name, this game focuses on how the act of combining things can help you create something new!

While the game is free to play online, if you'd like to support me and buy The Combination Café  for $1, you can download a version of the game with extra prompts, as well as a downloadable prompt sheet and a picture of everyone's favorite snack, Egg Pops!
