Indie Game 'Trash's Coffee Talk' Lets You Cook for a Messy Senior
The game reframes the cozy cooking-sim formula of Coffee Talk into a grimmer premise, where scarcity and a flawed character drive the interaction.

Indie studio Granité Works is developing an adventure game described as 'trash's Coffee Talk.' Players cook for an alcoholic senior with limited ingredients, building affection through meals. The prototype cycle is conversation, cooking, evaluation, then conversation again. No platforms or release date have been announced yet.
Granité Works, a studio that says it offers 'small-volume but fresh game experiences at affordable prices,' is working on a title whose concept has drawn comparisons to Coffee Talk but with a deliberately unglamorous twist. The protagonist looks after a senior struggling with alcoholism, and the core loop involves cooking meals with whatever ingredients are on hand. In the prototype, the cycle runs conversation, cooking, evaluation, then back to conversation. When the senior asks for carbonara but there are no eggs, the player makes plain pasta instead-and the senior still appreciates it, raising affection. The developer has not announced platforms or a release window.
