The Bubble Bean

The Bubble Bean is a narrative-driven simulation game where players step into the role of a mid-20s individual who takes a job at a café as a last resort after graduating. Initially aiming to simply get by, the player encounters a diverse cast of characters, including Kyle, the well-meaning manager; Julia, a sarcastic goth coworker; Sam, the vape-addicted chef with hidden depth; Becky, an entitled frequent customer; and John, a mysterious patron hiding from fame. Through engaging interactions, the player uncovers life lessons about self-discovery, connection, and finding peace in transitional moments. The game’s core theme is growth, as the player helps others and learns to embrace the value of seemingly mundane experience.
