Internet Cafe Simulator is a free-to-play simulation from Cocopo. This casual video game lets you design and build your own internet cafe. Find a location, build your own cafe, and continue upgrading your computers and services. With better equipment, expect more customers and ultimately rise up the ranks and be the best shop in town.

With a variety of furniture and gaming consoles, Internet Cafe Simulator is a fun game, especially if it can work past its freezing and game-crashing bugs. It’s a more diverse, more generalized version of Warnet Simulator or Internet Cafe Job Simulator.

Build your gaming headquarters

Internet cafes have been a staple in many societies, and Internet Cafe Simulator puts you at the center of it. A good part of this game is that it tries to create a linear progression as you play. Find a location for your business, build your rent, and find people around town to talk to. It has several NPCs scattered around, like a small Grand Theft Auto III.

As an internet cafe building sim, it has a lot of objects you can put around. From a fair selection of equipment pieces—tables, chairs, drawers, and cabinets—to an almost complete suite of gaming consoles. It even parodies real-world brands, letting you shop from Zamazor instead. Also, the business aspect of the game is fun and challenging, including less-than-ethical options such as police schedules or fake reviews to boost your business.

However, all this game content can be undone by its range of bugs, some of which could crash the app. Also, the game lacks a reliable save game system. Suddenly ending the game or falling victim to a game-crashing bug could lead to the deletion of your progress, requiring you to start all over again. In most instances, you keep your money but lose all items bought.

A promising sim undone by bugs

Internet Cafe Simulator is one of those games that are fun and engaging but ultimately fail because of its bugs. You have a series of objectives to meet, from finding a location to growing your business. The game also features a lot of customization and gameplay options for you and your patrons. There are even nifty yet shady upgrades. Unfortunately, this could be undone by an ill-timed game-crashing bug.
