About Spirit of the Beans
You run your own café, crafting unique drinks and pastries, getting to know the local community and travelers passing through. As your business grows, you earn money and gradually customize and expand your café to reflect your personal style.
When you're not working in the café, you’re free to explore the world around you, go on adventures, connect with the community, pick up new or improve skills, shop for groceries, discover strange trinkets, and uncover hidden corners of your surroundings.
The gameplay loop is managing, growing and customizing your café, building relationships all while maintaining a sense of progression and adventure.
Spirit of the Beans' genre is best described as: cozy, management adventure, life sim. The game is being developed by Tim van Daalen.
Demo
Developed in Unreal Engine, there is no demo of this game publicly available yet. Spirit of the Beans (working title: Project PSL) has been in development in the GameLab in 2025.
After his internship Tim has indicated that he would be working on his project further. He connected some collaborators for it as well. We wish him all the best with it and hope to see it appear on Steam some day.
