Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The Tim Burton inspired "cutesy horror" ghost town, visually pleasing and charismatic character designs and solid sound design that is even functionally integrated into the gameplay already makes for an excellent base, but there is more to this title than one would think!

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The art direction combines soft, inviting lighting with gothic accents, giving the café a cozy but slightly uncanny vibe.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I still think other room areas (like the bathroom) or maybe a funeral or witchy shop across the street, etc. would be fun to order supplies from or even get side quests.
