Two Scoops Demo

The workplace may not be the best place to search for a soulmate, but on the other hand it is the place where most people spend most of their days, as sad as that sounds. Hence, it’s actually a common story for couples to meet at work, even if office romances are not always a good idea. It also depends on the workplace, because some jobs make it far easier to interact with other people.

Two Scoops is an interactive visual novel that puts you in the role of a girl who starts working in an ice cream store and must quickly learn the ropes in order to keep her job. To make things more interesting, you also have to help her develop a romantic relationship with one of her coworkers. The game should feature multiple routes and endings by the time it is complete, which is great in terms of replayability.   The whole story revolves around learning how to manage the shop and taking of everything yourself, given the fact that two of the coworkers are about to leave in a few weeks. By learning from them you can also get close and maybe develop some kind of romantic relationship, depending on who you like the most. Naturally, this is decided by the dialog choices you make along the way.

Speaking of which, dialog is the most important piece of the equation, given the fact that your choices affect the way other people perceive you. Hence, saying the wrong thing can end your chances with a particular character, although you can always reload a previous save and try again. This also opens up multiple routes along the way, so it’s easy to re-play the game and get different experiences.   The artwork is quite colorful and enjoyable, especially in terms of character design. Some of the backgrounds are very nice as well, but they can get a bit repetitive in the demo at hand. Most characters feature multiple expressions and poses, which helps with immersion. Not much can be said about the soundtrack at this point, but it’s not a very important part in most visual novels.

In the end, Two Scoops is probably not going to change your life or make it on your best games lists, but it has the potential to change your mood for the better if you give it a chance. Hence, you can help the developers complete the project by participating in their Kickstarter campaign.
