Monique's Garden Cafe is a simulation and action-adventure game with psychological horror elements. It features a retro visual style inspired by fifth-generation consoles (PS1, N64, Saturn). The game is set in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil.
After a traumatic experience that nearly cost her life, Monique Teneiro decides to open a cafe in the city of Pelotas, Brazil. A new business, a new routine, a chance to finally find peace and rebuild a quiet life with her daughter, Miranda.
But a stranger is far too interested in them.
What seemed like a peaceful refuge becomes the setting for an increasingly disturbing campaign of harassment, with dead bodies, love letters, and scares. As you try to keep the cafe afloat, a stranger threatens to destroy Monique's fragile sense of normalcy.
How long can you keep up the routine before fear takes hold of her?
