About This Demo

For demo version, only 1st day is playable. Takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

You run a small ice cream shop that only opens at night.
The job should be simple: scoop flavors, serve cones, keep the place clean.
But as the hours pass, you begin to realize the night holds more than just customers.

The Ice Cream Shop is a cozy simulation with a psychological horror twist. On the surface, it’s a relaxing night-shift job: taking orders, choosing toppings, and handing cones or bowls across the counter. But your character suffers from an illness — sometimes, the mind shows things that aren’t really there. Are the customers friendly, or threatening? Are the noises behind the shop just the fridge running… or something else?

What You’ll Do

• Make Ice Creams – Scoop up to three flavors into cones or prepare simple bowls with single flavors. Each customer has their own preferences and quirks.

• Meet Strange Customers – From kids sneaking out at night, to ex-convicts, lonely wanderers, or unsettling strangers. Some are kind. Some are confusing. And some may not exist at all.

• Face the Unexplainable – Your illness makes you see things: shadows, sounds, distorted faces. Sometimes the ice cream melts into strange shapes. Sometimes customers whisper words you don’t understand. Sometimes, there’s no one there at all.

The demo focuses on one night in the shop. A fuller experience with more features (toppings, sauces, and new events) will come in the full release.

Why Play?

If you enjoy cozy games with simple mechanics but also love the slow-burn tension of psychological horror, The Ice Cream Parlor blends both worlds.
It’s about serving scoops, chatting with customers, and keeping the shop tidy—while questioning your own reality.

Sometimes, the night is peaceful.
Sometimes, it isn’t.
