What players say

Players are split on Hookah Cafe Simulator. Some enjoy the concept and find it fun for a while, but many say development stalled, leaving the game buggy, poorly optimized even on strong PCs, and short on content. Common complaints include confusing tutorials, janky customer and waiter AI, and an unnecessary item weardown mechanic.
