Josh from Let’s Game It Out found a brand-new cybercafé sim and left it a smoking crater in under a day.

Internet Cafe Simulator 2, the Cheesecake Dev business sim that dropped on Steam on January 7, 2022, was designed to have players grind their way out of debt by running a legitimate cybercafé — hiring guards, cooking food, upgrading PCs, dealing with street thugs. Let’s Game It Out host Josh had other plans. In the video “Made $1 Million in 7 Hours, Ruined a Whole City in One,” he spends the runtime hunting for every exploit, physics glitch, and unintended mechanic the game has to offer, turning a modest debt-repayment sim into a case study in digital chaos.

• Internet Cafe Simulator 2 was developed by Cheesecake Dev and released on PC via Steam on January 7, 2022, just weeks before Josh’s video went up.
• The core premise has players running a rundown internet café from first-person view to pay off a brother’s debt, managing patrons, licensing, food prep, guards, and even street thugs and suicide bombers.
• The video’s title claims Josh generated roughly $1 million worth of in-game currency in a seven-hour stretch while simultaneously wrecking the surrounding virtual city over the course of the playthrough.

A Legit Business Sim, Briefly

On paper, Internet Cafe Simulator 2 plays it straight. The player inherits a busted cybercafé and has to claw their way toward solvency by keeping customers happy, buying game licenses for the PCs, prepping snacks and drinks, and fending off the thugs and bombers who show up to make life difficult. Cheesecake Dev built in a tech tree so players can specialize toward either running a polished, legitimate operation or leaning into shadier side hustles — the game explicitly gives players the option to “get involved in completely illegal business” if the honest route feels too slow.

That dual-path design is exactly the kind of sandbox Let’s Game It Out specializes in breaking. Rather than balancing legitimate café management with the occasional illegal shortcut the way the developers intended, Josh treats every system as a lever to be pulled as far as it will go, checking how far the economy, the physics engine, and the NPC scripting can be pushed before something snaps.

Breaking the Economy in Real Time

The video’s headline claim — a million dollars generated in seven in-game hours — comes from Josh identifying and abusing an unintended economic exploit rather than following the intended debt-payoff grind. Instead of the slow build of upgrading equipment and retaining customers, he finds a way to generate money far faster than the developers designed for, turning the café’s economy into a farm rather than a business.

That title itself functions as the thesis of the video: the money-making and the destruction aren’t separate storylines, they happen in parallel. Once the exploit is running, Josh has both the in-game cash and the freedom to start experimenting with everything else the town’s NPCs and physics systems can withstand.

Terrorizing the Town’s NPCs

With money no longer a constraint, the second half of the video shifts toward testing the limits of the simulated city itself — disrupting NPC routines, pushing physics boundaries, and generally subjecting the café’s patrons and the surrounding population to the kind of escalating chaos that Let’s Game It Out built its channel on. Where the game intends for the player to deal with street thugs and the occasional suicide bomber as hazards to manage, Josh instead uses the town’s systems against themselves, letting things spiral until the “ruined city” half of the title becomes literal.

It’s the same formula that’s made the channel a go-to destination for early-access and newly released sims — take a game built around patience and incremental progress, then compress that progress into a few chaotic hours by refusing to play by the intended rules.

Internet Cafe Simulator 2 had only been out for three weeks when the video posted, meaning Josh was stress-testing a build the developers were almost certainly still patching in real time — the kind of glitch-hunting that tends to end up shaping what gets fixed in the next update.
