“[Chilla’s Art] The Closing Shift | 閉店事件 by Chilla's Art is a psychological horror experience that thrives on transforming the ordinary into something deeply unsettling. Rather than relying on elaborate lore or…”
“I'll recommend this game with a guide on how to make the coffee blends; the game does a terrible job explaining. If you know what you're doing, you'll be in for a good short story.”

“This is a good, short, cheap beginner horror game. The barista mechanics are very fun and the story is short but interesting. The tense moments stand out more among the calming mundane activities of a barista. I would…”
“I loved this game; it is truly worth spending money on. I was surprised by how realistic it can be, especially in the way it portrays harassment in different environments. I appreciate that not everything has a happy…”

“The Closing Shift delivers a familiar indie horror experience that leans heavily on atmosphere and tension rather than deep gameplay. It’s the kind of game you pick up when you’re in the mood for a quick scare—and in…”
“One of Chilla's Art's best. It is a little more fun to watch as a YT video than to play only because the fetch quests in this one are a little more extensive. However, it has one of the better stories and ideas from…”
“I'd like to say this game is good but it's really not. It gets repetitive and boring so often that you actually want something scary to happen, which is usually not the case in horror games for me. Compared to every…”

“Good game. I liked it. I bought it like few years ago but my laptop was too ass to run it. And I didn't understood mechanics back then. Today I decided to play it and I finished it in one day. It was fun. Minus when…”
“I thought it was pretty scary for a smaller dev team, just wish the settings wouldn't reset every time I reopen or die in the game.”
“A single-sitting horror game with a slow burn, and a light barista simulator. It's not survival horror. It's not gory. It's my sort of cozy horror game I like to play on a quiet, snowy or rainy weekend. It's creepy,…”

“Chilla's Art is starting to really grow on me. You have got to respect it when a developer is this aware of their very specific groove / skillset. I have not played nearly all of their games, but out judging from The…”

“Really fun game! Some of the tasks were a little unclear for the story progression but still absolutely worth the time and money!”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“This game costs five dollars and it made me feel genuinely unsafe inside a coffee shop, which is not a sentence I expected to ever type. Let me tell you what Chilla's Art does that most horror games completely fail to understand. Most horror games build their fear through…”
