Amelie's Cafe: Holiday Spirit

Amelie’s Cafe: Holiday Spirit is a new installment in Amelie’s Cafe series from Alawar Entertainment that has you serving visitor and decorating the cafe in order to attract new customers in. Can you help Amelie make her cafe the most popular place of visiting during this holiday?

Do you feel the scent of quite old theme? We do feel. Amelie’s Cafe: Holiday Spirit features the same cartoon art style and the same time management gameplay as its predecessors. But why? Have the developer’s ideas dried out? Honestly, it looks like the last chance to earn some money in the end of this year. Still, we can see only one twist and that is snow. Everything what the developers did to highlight this installment was decorating well-known cafe with snow, Christmas trees, gifts, colored lights and balls.

The gameplay is still interesting but extremely simple. These three time management modes to master add no challenge to Amelie’s Cafe: Holiday Spirit because they are all easy to handle. The customers are old friends of us. The developer did not put in any new characters, they just togged them up with Santa’s caps and other Christnas costumes. But the menu is varied: candies, cookies, cakes. There are only few new and really helpful bonuses but they cannot save the gameplay from collapse.

All in all, this game is not worth seeing and playing if you are not a big fan of this time management series. But if you do not care for what to play or just want to enjoy Christmas atmosphere, you are welcome to this holiday installment. Either way, the graphics are fine!
