One Cup of Cocoa is a short horror game with minimal gameplay but full of creepy elements. There are no screams, no jump scares—just you, a cup of cocoa, and a man sitting across from you, waiting for something… just perfect to please him.

How to play One Cup of Cocoa

The game starts in silence. Your mission is to prepare a cup of cocoa by selecting the appropriate ingredients and actions:
Choose a cup (but watch out—he’s picky). Add water, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, cardamom, mint, whipped cream… Stir well and you’re done.
It seems simple, but he watches every move you make.
One wrong move—like pouring in the wrong order, using the wrong ingredients, or wasting boiling water—can make him angry.

Atmosphere

The game tells its story not with words but with the cold stare of the opponent and chilling comments like
"I think the kettle is wasted."
"I don't like whipped cream."
"Now... get out of here."

You won't know when he will get mad, nor whether you're doing the right thing or heading for a bloody end.

Trial and error gameplay

You'll need to try many recipes to find the "perfect" cocoa version—or at least one that doesn't anger him.
Some decisions will spare you. Others... will result in your death.

Will you make the "right" cup of cocoa?

One Cup of Cocoa is a game that explores the delicate balance between obedience and rebellion and between seemingly harmless choices and irreversible consequences.
