Chocola: Maid Cafe "Curio"

Chocola: Maid Cafe "Curio" is a Japanese adult visual novel with simulation game elements centered around a café named Curio.

The player controls Daisuke Yuuki, a young man who gains a new family when his father remarries. Before he has a chance to adapt, Daisuke's father and stepmother embark on a three-month honeymoon, leaving him alone with his new stepsister, Suzu. To make matters worse, Daisuke is forced to manage his father's business, a maid café called Curio, in his absence. Although Daisuke feels overwhelmed at first, he soon begins to enjoy his new job, especially after meeting the cute girls there.

The game progresses in increments of days. From Tuesday to Sunday, a map of the Curio store is displayed, and twice a day (day and night), the player chooses from one of four destinations to visit (floor, loft, kitchen, manager's office). The café is closed on Monday, allowing the player to choose to go out or stay inside. Characters are displayed as chibi characters on the map, and selecting a certain heroine increases that heroine's favorability rating. The amount of work that must be completed accumulates over time in a meter which can only be diminished by visiting the manager's office. If the player allows too much work to build up, it's Game Over.

As the game progresses, the player can make choices that may cause the story to branch into a route specific to a certain heroine depending on the player's favorability with them. How the game ends depends on the player's decisions.
