☕ Level 4
Old Café
A once-beloved gathering place full of memories
📖 Location Story
In the heart of town sits an old café that hasn't served coffee in years. Faded menu boards, dusty counter tops, mismatched chairs stacked in corners — this space holds the town's social memory. Your task is to bring it back to life, ready to welcome guests again.
🗺️ Hozy Old Café — Full Overview
The Old Café is the first 'public space' in Hozy, meaning the narrative shifts from personal restoration to community renewal. It's significantly larger than previous locations. The counter area introduces 'snap-point' furniture placement for the first time, making precise arrangement easier. Expect 40–55 minutes for a full run.
✅ All Tasks
- ◉ Remove layers of dust and debris
- ◉ Clean all café windows (larger than previous levels)
- ◉ Scrub the tile floor
- ◉ Paint or wallpaper the interior walls
- ◉ Arrange café furniture: tables, chairs, counter items
- ◉ Decorate with plants, lighting, and wall art
💡 Pro Tips
- ★ The café has more floor area than previous levels — work section by section to track which areas are clean.
- ★ Stacked chairs need to be unstacked manually before you can arrange them.
- ★ The counter area has dedicated snap-points for cups, a coffee machine, and small plants.
- ★ Large windows here take longer to clean — use slow, overlapping strokes for full coverage.
- ★ Hanging pendant lights are available in this level; right-click them to switch on/off after placement.
