- Provides up to 8 additional inventory slots
- Extra uses beyond the limit do not increase capacity
The Backpack can be especially useful for players who regularly carry several ingredients or items during a shift.
Items in Anomaly Cafe have different purposes, so you do not need to buy everything at once. If you are still learning the game, focus on items that match your role and the problems you regularly encounter.
Sanity items such as Cake, Coffee, and Cookie help you stay active, while Talisman and Pan are useful for dealing with anomalies. For team play, the Medkit can save a run by bringing a downed player back into the shift. Meanwhile, Plants and Posters help keep customers patient, and the Backpack gives you more room to carry important items.
As you become more familiar with the cafe, you can build your own item setup based on whether you want to focus on cooking, serving customers, handling anomalies, supporting teammates, or earning more money.
The best item choices depend on the problem your team faces, so compare the strongest items for sanity, patience, anomaly control, and team support before spending your money.
