What it is
Chez Cafe is a short cafe-management game made for Revival Jam 2026. You serve customers coffee and pastries, while also adapting the seating area for customers who use wheelchairs. It is a small, single-player prototype with cute pixel art and no generative AI.
From the developer
In the developer’s own words, from lachapeliere.itch.io.
From the depths of our abandoned projects folder, we have revived "Crip Cafe" for Revival Jam 2026, a game about making a cafe for people with all kind of disabilities.
It became "Chez Cafe", a short cafe management game where you serve your customers coffee and pastries. Some customers use a wheelchair so you have to put away stools to make room for them at the table.

Editor takes
“For a jam prototype the serve-and-tip loop is tidy, but the short runtime means the progression curve never really gets to stretch its legs.”
“Cute pixel art and a thoughtful accessible setup carry the vibe, but the short prototype length leaves the soundscape and animation with little time to shine.”
How to play
Run the cafe by taking care of customers as they arrive. Serve them coffee and pastries, and when a customer in a wheelchair comes in, put away stools to make room at the table. Keep customers happy to earn tips.
Tips
- Watch for wheelchair users early and clear their table before they arrive.
- Keep an eye on all customers so nobody waits too long.
- Learn what each customer needs so you can serve them quickly.
- Make sure tables are accessible before serving, then collect tips from satisfied customers.
- Since this is a short prototype, explore freely and expect a brief play session.
