Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?

Well, we begin with a fairly lackluster title and teaser, but let’s give the game a shot anyway...

The game is simple, but I appreciate its sarcasm. You can tell that the author probably had a pretty good time writing this, and if you take it at face value, it’s really enjoyable to play. I wish the author had taken just a bit more time in certain areas, such as proofreading (can you tell I hate typos?), because there’s some fun stuff to work with here. I had one moment where I actually laughed uncontrollably for a short period of time, and reflecting on that moment as I type this review is making me laugh about it yet again. There is some really great, poignant office humor here, and a couple of really-totally-definitely-not-expected twists that were absolutely delightful. And, finally, in and amongst all the humor there was one brilliantly written sentence that gave me pause. Simple, fun games such as coffee quest II generally don’t win the comp, but this one stands out, in my opinion.
