Voleur Café

Story “Who is that masked man?” They ask.
 
“Why do the baristas admit a man dressed as he?” They ask. “Is it humanity’s ever present urge to self-destruct? Or is it just that they are too tired to care?”

“Who took my coffee?” They ask.

Welcome to Sydney, the city with the most vicious coffee scene around. It can turn the most tasteless man into a insufferable connoisseur. The best baristas have lines around the block, the worst die homeless in a day or two, their bones thrown into the maw of the metro lines to fuel their eternal construction. But Sydney is a city of money, money runs on coffee, and money doesn't wait in lines.

Money hires criminals. Criminals like you.

How to Play

Welcome to Voleur Café, the game where you steal coffee to order, selling them to the black coffee market. 

Watching is mesmerising. Watching is important. Remembering is important.

Your clients will send their demands to the bottom of your screen. They are in code, but it is an easy code. They don't mind if it's the wrong size, but they will pay you double if it's right.

Watch your thirsty little prey enter your web. They will sing their hearts desire. The barista knows their name. You know their name now too. Be more vigilant than they, snag their coffee with the Z button without being seen, and smuggle it to the exit.

Tips

• Take your time. There will always be more orders. Pick your moment. Understand the clockwork of the machine before you try to smash it.
• Baristas are distracted when talking with customers, but if they're looking down to read a cup they will surely see you snatching another.
