Anomalous Coffee Machine 2 is an indie interactive experience where you converse with a coffee machine that can liquefy any concept you imagine. It’s more than simple wordplay — it’s an uncanny journey that brews emotions, ideas, and even identities into drinks.
Anomalous Coffee Machine 2 Game Story
You arrive in an unfamiliar chamber and meet Horu, the operator of the Anomalous Coffee Machine. He explains:
- “This machine can turn any word you type into a cup of water with the corresponding flavor – anything you can imagine. Just one word, or a few words… try it.”
- At first it sounds like a trick, but when you enter words like “void” or “love,” reality begins to warp.
Type a word—and taste the idea
Type any keyword: feelings such as sadness or desire, abstract notions and knowledge, or everyday items like tea, milk, and YouTube. Samples of the machine’s odd responses include:
- Void: “Tasteless, colorless, odorless, thick as the space between thoughts. My heart stops beating. I forget how to blink.”
- Love: “Sweet like sun-ripened strawberries. When I smile, the smile never stops.”
- Sperm: “Thick, warm, sweet, but cold. Something stirs beneath my skin.”
- Tea: “Light, soft, fragrant like dried flowers and old books. Feels like being politely told to ‘calm down.’”
Each beverage is more than a flavor note — it alters your mental and bodily state.
The more you try, the stranger the world becomes
- Ask for “ghost” and the drink leaves a hollow ringing in your ears, like someone’s absence. Type “darkness” and light becomes unbearable, with something blinking inside you.
- Some concoctions make you glow where another person has touched you. Others erode your sense of bodily limits.
A peculiar typing game with no objectives
There’s no score, no levels, and no win condition — only experience.
You talk with Horu, peer into the machine, and confront your inner life. Questions arise:
- What will happen if I type “hope”?
- If I drink “dark,” will I still be able to see?
- Why does “YouTube” taste like metal, fish, and unfinished homework?
Anomalous Coffee Machine 2 is eerie, reflective, and ripe for exploration. If you want other unsettling indie experiences to try, The Man from the Window is one recommendation.
