About This Game

Cafe New York 9/11 – A Story of Ordinary Lives in an Extraordinary Moment
Developed by the lead designer of Life is Strange: Double Exposure

In Cafe New York 9/11, you step into the shoes of Sameer, a hardworking Pakistani American café owner in Lower Manhattan. It’s a seemingly ordinary Tuesday morning. Your regulars filter in for their usual coffee and breakfast, conversations buzz about the Yankees game, work meetings, and weekend plans. But within moments, everything changes.

As the world outside shifts into chaos, your café becomes a temporary refuge. A place where frightened strangers, loyal customers, and your small team of employees come together, each reacting in their own way to the unthinkable events unfolding just blocks away.

Through Sameer’s eyes, you will navigate a deeply personal and emotional narrative, making choices that reveal the complexities of that event. Not just the shock and fear, but also the kindness, confusion, and resilience of the people around you.

Key Narrative Features
