About
Tailside invites players into a warm, pixelated world where the aroma of fresh coffee dictates the rhythm of life. As a fox running a charming café, you will master the art of brewing complex drinks through tactile mini-games, serve a delightful cast of anthropomorphic animals, and manage the daily operations of your growing business. It is a low-stress, high-comfort simulation that blends management mechanics with wholesome slice-of-life storytelling.
Story
You play as a fox who moves to the bustling yet quaint town of Tailside to revitalize an old café with the help of the locals. The narrative unfolds subtly through a daily newspaper and interactions with villagers, revealing small, heartwarming stories about the town's residents and the community's growth. Rather than saving the world, your journey focuses on building relationships and uncovering the quiet magic of everyday life in a Zootopia-like society.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around a satisfying day-night cycle: waking up to prep ingredients, opening the shop from 9 AM to 5 PM, and fulfilling orders via engaging brewing mini-games. Players must balance speed and precision to earn tips, which are then used to upgrade equipment, decorate the café, and unlock new recipes. The experience is customizable, offering a Sandbox mode for creative freedom and adjustable day speeds to match your preferred pace.

Development Roadmap
The Daily Grind
Unlike frantic cooking games, Tailside emphasizes 'mindful' preparation. You aren't just clicking buttons; you are sequencing ingredients—Espresso, Steamed Milk, Foam—and even drawing latte art. The rush hour exists, but upgrades allow you to automate the tedious parts while keeping the satisfying ones.
