I first found Coffee Talk episode 1 on itch.io, and after playing it, episode 2 was an instantaneous buy! I dearly love the characters, and while episode 2 is able to stand on its own if you haven't played the first game, you're doing yourself a major disservice! Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly builds beautifully on what made the first game great, and brings in a cast of characters new and old with interweaving storylines.

I LOVED this game, I played the first one as well and thought this built upon the world and characters in a really enjoyable, thoughtful way. Unlike the first game, this one introduces routes with a perfect, bad, and good end. I don't typically enjoy bad endings and just want a happy ending so I didn't explore the alternate routes, but it's still just as enjoyable as the first game. The music is awesome, there's an odd twist at the end of the perfect ending just like the first game and I think you're meant to replay it to get more insight on what's going on there, but I might take a break before doing that. All in all, great game and if I muster up enough heartlessness I might go and see what the bad endings are.

TLDR: PLAY THE GAME I LOVE IT
