Coffee Crawl

Banner

Trailer
YouTube

    Coffee Crawl is a very interesting indie game, which mixed in itself a lot of other games very successfully. It was released 3 months ago for a PC, it's not free, but it's cheap (there is demo though, you can try it out and see if you like it). It was made with RPGMaker, but it's quite polished and creative game.

Gameplay:
    Coffee Crawl is an interesting survival roguelike RPG mix. In terms of gameplay it offers slash RPG, resource gathering&managing, crafting and diplomacy, which all is fused into single entity. This game also offers anarchy mode, which allows some rules of the game to be broken at the cost that you will be chased by the police and penalized if caught, and you might upset some of 15 other people, who left awake. Game`s difficulty increases with time and usual game flow involves building your character by crafting useful stuff, picking up items called "novelties" that increase your character power in some certain way or reducing game`s difficulty (usually with some drawback) and negotiating with others to oppose this difficulty.
    Coffee Crawl, however, won`t babysit you, it gives you the basics in how to play the game and then leaves you to figure out the rest for yourself. I played for around 60 hours and I still haven't figured and tried out everything. I haven't beat it yet either, I don't think anyone did actually. Game is fresh and there is no tutorials and no gameplay videos, only demonstration trailer with gameplay... It's fun, because there are a lot of hidden gameplay mechanics and minigames and when you discover them on your own, you like "Oh. OOOHHHH!". Since game is difficult and you just found out how to proceed further and survive longer, it's exciting to see how long you can last with newfound knowledge and since right now there is no guides and gameplay videos, you feel proud, because you found out stuff on your own and you read all the in-game clues properly.

Story, music and presentation:
    "A strange phenomenon has swept across the globe. People began to fall asleep no matter where they are. By the third day only a remaining few who are still awake, surpressing their urge to sleep with, well... coffee. The rest shows no sign of waking up."
    Coffee Crawl doesn`t really have a complex story baseline, however characters, music and presentation makes you to be really interested in it and makes you want to discover mystery behind people not waking up. There are 15 other characters besides you that are trying to not fall asleep and all of them are distinct, they all have their own character developement and you can be friends or enemy with each of them, they also have their own locations where you can meet them anytime and which adds to their story. Music in this game is also very good, it fits in game very well and adds to atmosphere of the location you are at, and I would listen it outside of the game, but thats just my taste. While having a mysterious plot and atmosphere, Coffee Crawl has good sense of humor and it doesn`t interfere with atmosphere. There is also bunch of references to other games, and I find myself sometimes asking a question "Where I heard that phrase before?".

Performance and execution:
    As about performance, game performs well on my low end lagtop, which just fits right into minimum system requirements for this game, I also played it on PC which has powerful videocard but only 2 GB (and minimum required is 4 GB) of memory and it still ran well, with some occasional freezes. For 60 hours I played game, I encountered bug once, and it`s kind of a bug which hard to get, so don`t let that you down. (I also submited this bug and developer responded me today and said that he is gonna fix it). Overall game is very solid, and RPGMaker used very creatively with all the stuff present in game.
    My only complaint is that there is no "Exit" button and some people complain on lack of controller support, but thats only complaints which I could came up with and game is not set in stone.

Extra notes:
    "Coffee Crawl is inspired by Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Elona+, Risk of Rain, The Binding of Isaac, Civilisation 5, and Zettai Hero Project. Some elements in those games may present." As someone who played Risk of Rain, Civilisation 5 and Elona+ I can confirm that it`s true, this game reminds me those games, yet I'm surprised that Coffee Crawl combined elements of those games so well and that after playing forementionen games Coffee Crawl has still a lot to offer to me.

Overall:
I don't know if this game is your cup of tea, game is quite unique, but I enjoyed it a lot, so you might as well. My verdict is:

It depends on what you define as killing off everything. If by that we mean to kill of every single person, animal or plant, we can just continuosly nuke same place over and over again until our nukes reach magnetic core of Earth and disrupt it, which cause magnetic field of Earth to dissapear and everything to die from radiation sooner or later, well almost everything. Some things will survive and adapt to new conditions. It`s however, a temporary solution, it probably be enough to put our planet down long enough until Sun explode or whatever happens to it.

Well, we might create a black hole, but it`s unreliable solution either, because no one knows how it works. I can only say that living or being in it, if it`s possible, will be different from your or any other human definition of word "living" or "being" so that accomplishes goal of destroying everything living.

     I'm surprised that nobody brought this up yet, but veganism is not a perfect solution. Veganism saves animals at the cost of killing plants. Well, so what is the problem with this? The problem is that we showing preference for animals over plants. Reason why it`s acceptable is that plants are harder to extinquish than animals and we extinquished quite a lot of animals in the past, but that doesn`t mean that plants are impossible to extinquish and world is not set in stone. There might come time when we have to kill animals in order to save plants, which brings me to second point:

 Being vegan or not being vegan is fine as long as you don`t extinquish either animals or plants.

 We just happen to live in time when animals are closer to dying than plants.
How the hell are we gonna extinguish plants we literally grow them. Cows, pigs, and chickens are also nowhere near extinction.
Oh, thats not that hard if there will be much much more animals. In fact, some forests on our planet are already gone due to people cutting them to gain money for example and build there some stuff on it`s place.
Deforestation doesn't have have much to do with growing fruits and vegetables. In fact a lot of it is hydroponic these days.
Yes, true, but consumption of fruits and vegetables can exceed their growth as more people and animals are born. Plants and vegetables are also vulnerable to diseases and parasites, which might kill them pretty easily or at very least make them be partially or entirely unsuitable for consumption.

Also I told you already you're using ` instead of '. It's two different symbols with different meanings. I won't knock on the fact that you have trouble constructing a sentence in English but it's like you don't give a fuck that you're doing it wrong.
Yeah, sorry about that, it's more of a habit replacing ' with ` and it won't go away overnight. It tends to go away when I frequently write in English, but last month I was very busy and I didn't have the opportunity to practice in it. Also can you describe what kind of mistakes I keep making while constructing a sentence in English?

I see another logic inconsistency - you are proposing us veganism, main purpose of which is to save animals and the next thing you say is that it`s better to kill everything. Well, then I really don`t see any other reason for this thread to exist outside of "the sake of argument", "simulation purposes", where you try to attain higher moral ground over people who aren`t vegans and thats basically a hypocrisy.
I don't see how it's a hypocrisy, if you could explain that for me.

While I do believe that life is better off not existing, I still have to come to terms with the fact it does exist.

The best thing about life is that it is possible to change it for the better. So, while I'd prefer life not to exist at all, it can't be helped—the next best thing for me to try to do, then, is to do my part in spreading the word about all the things I believe will make the world a better place to live in.

It's not hypocrisy, it's pragmatism. I realize I'm not going to get what I want out of this life, so I work with what I have.
Ah, fair enough, I misunderstood you, so sorry for that.

I don't think we'll ever have to worry about fruit and vegetable-bearing plants going extinct. They're incredibly easy to regrow, and I think we've been doing a pretty good job overall with that. You're right in saying it's not perfect, but I just don't foresee it becoming a serious issue, even in the distant future.

It's good that you're thinking about these things, and being an environmentalist is a good idea in general, but when it comes to saving plants, I think environmentalists are more concerned with things like deforestation and hydraulic fracturing and stuff, not edible plants (and fungi).

I'm more concerned about animals because they suffer, whereas plants don't. That's all I really care about right now.
Well, right now we don`t have problems with plans being extincted, but imagine that there will be more animals than plants and we consuption of plants will be bigger than their growth. That won`t happen right now, but that might happen overall in future and we should be aware of that.

Also we don`t know if plants don`t suffer, plants might as well have their own thoughts and dreams, it just beyond our capability to comprehend existense of plants as such and our lack of knowledge. We can`t even fully describe how our human mind works.

Life is bad because it comes with suffering. You can reduce the suffering of billions of creatures by taking some control of their agency. But doing so and not respecting them is bad from a moral point of view. Since you're telling me they can't live a purposeful life (something you're deciding for that animal) you advocate killing them all which not only causes suffering but also violates their autonomy in the most significant way and goes directly against their deepest and most fundamental desire.
Their deepest and most fundamental desire is to copulate and reproduce, not to live. No animal wants to "live." They just don't want to die. They don't understand why they don't want to die (or why they'd be better off dead). They're just running a primitive biological script that tells them that dying is bad, survival is good. For what reason? There is no reason. So, we could pointlessly maintain their pitiful, pointless, joyless existences to make ourselves feel moral, but the reality is that most factory-bred animals wouldn't well appreciate it. A lot of them live in squalor, are missing body parts, are severely overweight, or have various other debilitating conditions. They may not want to die, but they certainly don't want to suffer, either. But they are suffering. And you want to maintain it for some reason, with bizarre pathos-based reasoning.
There is so much wrong with this. First of all, how do you know what animals want exactly or in what way they think? Second of all, humans are also animals. And yet most of humans want something, follow something and have some plan in their head. Third, humans evolved from chimps and same can happen to other animals, expecially in our presence. So there is reason to maintain animals, yes. Fourth, life is suffering, YES, RIGHT, TRUE, and yet we have people which suffer a lot and off they go to work which they might not even like.

The logical inconsistency seems to lie in you basing all of this on respect for agency and an aversion of suffering, yet you seem to be perfectly fine with imposing (or ignoring) suffering and violating and killing untold amounts of animals because you're the superior creature who gets to decide how they're treated.
Of course—do you not think parents should have some degree of control over their children's behavior? Sometimes you have to override someone's agency for the greater good. Again, there is no inconsistency here. I'm not expressing anything I haven't expressed for years upon years.
I see another logic inconsistency - you are proposing us veganism, main purpose of which is to save animals and the next thing you say is that it`s better to kill everything.

How's life and looking for a job going?
I got bachelor degree and right now I just lazily sit on my couch and play videogames. I look for a job, but in very passive way, because I want to apply for masters degree in same uni and see if I get an opportunity to study for it or if I go into the military, so right now I just read books, play videogames, help my mom, listen to how clock is ticking to my doom and try listen to my inner self as he try to convince me that I should look for a job and stop wasting my time.

"Can someone understand it here? I have a dog, a puppy, he's doing something with his paw... like saluting?"

Mark Meechan, raising his hand from the audience:
"Yes, I have a puppy. I've taught him to salute."

Raymond Day:
"Oh, ok. It's saluting like... I can`t remember... it's saluting reminds me something..."

Mark Meechan:
"Oh, I taught him to salute like Nazi for a joke, I also made a vid and uploaded it on Youtube."

Raymond Day:
"Right, right. Now your dog, tells me something... Oh, that's terrible... Would you hear that?"

Mark Meechan:
"What it told you?"

Raymond Day:
"It told me that somebody got "grossly offended" by your puppy's video and that you will get sued and you will lose the court, I'm sorry to hear that."

Mark Meechan:
"But that was just a joke. How can I get sued for a joke?"

Raymond Day:
"Your dog says me, but in different voice... like judge voice... it says "Context doesn`t matter"... "Context doesn`t matter". Okay, I'll leave you with that, thank you."
Context doesn't matter was such a stupid remark in that case.
I think overall trying to regulate hate speech is a stupid idea, because there is no clear way of defining hate speech and I don't think there will be one.
Nah, hate speech is pretty clear cut. "I hate America" and "death to America" can both be seen as hate speech, but it's the latter that is obviously inciting violence against Americans and American institutions. That should be punished and even have you brought under suspicion of terrorism.
I didn`t say that hate speech shouldn't be punished, I said that attempts to regulate it are stupid. Usually cases of hate speech aren`t that clear as threating ("death to America") or describing your stance ("I hate America"), and thats a problem, because how you fix something when you don`t know what exactly to fix?
How do you suggest it's punished without it being regulated though?
It shouldn`t itself be punished, as there is no clear way to define it, however it can be punished based on a context. Saying "Death to America" out of blue shouldn`t be punished, because there isn`t anything accompanying it,  but if there is some conditions, behaviour that imply that you actually mean that and you actually going to do something illegal based on this words, then yes, you can punish that.
