Short description
Auto-combat roguelite. Your caffeine meter is the whole game — too little kills you, too much kills you faster. Three floors, one boss. 20 minutes. Don't crash.
About this game
[h1]Auto-combat roguelite. Your caffeine is the resource. Too much is also fatal.[/h1] DEATH BEFORE DECAF is a 20–35 minute roguelite where combat runs itself and everything else is your problem. That "everything else" is one thing: your caffeine meter. The caffeine system — the whole game Coffee items drop as you fight. Every item tempts you to drink more. Every drink risks pushing you over the edge. The optimal play state is always the edge of disaster. Crash (0–20%): Slow, weak, vision tunneling. You are losing. The Drag (21–49%): Functional but fading. Drink something. The Zone (50–80%): Peak performance. Move faster, hit harder. This is where runs are won. The Jitter (81–99%): Massive damage output, expensive mistakes. Overdose (100%): Six seconds of god-mode. Then a crash that ends runs. Every 60–90 seconds you level up: choose 1 of 3 upgrades. No aiming — combat is automatic.

One very bad day. You are Mira Volta — a fired barista fighting her way up a corporate tower in a city that has run on coffee instead of sleep for sixty years. The enemies are made of espresso and bad workplace decisions. The final boss called a mandatory meeting. You are not on the agenda. Floor 1 — The Extraction Level: Where the city's caffeine supply used to be made. Now it makes enemies. Compacted steamed milk with espresso cores. There are a lot of them. Floor 2 — The Break Room: The espresso machine became a god. The walls are wet. Temperature: slightly too warm. Floor 3 — The Executive Suite: Cold. Clean. The managers who ran this floor pushed espresso theory past its limits and didn't come back. A hand-illustrated world that runs on caffeine and bad decisions. Every environment is hand-illustrated in dark café-gothic style — bold flat cartoon illustration, clean ink outlines, amber espresso light against cold blue. Mira's portrait changes as the run wears on. She looks ready when she enters. She looks different when she doesn't make it out. Early Access — What's in r…
