To make cold foam, Starbucks uses a proprietary "Cloud powder" made with, of course, egg whites. Baristas mix the powder, the milk of your choice (even coconut milk), and any flavoring for the drink, then whip it all together in a blender.

Narratively speaking, the players aren’t even the ones experiencing the game world – the robot is. Whereas in most games the main character is a stand-in or avatar for the player, in Roambot, the control scheme makes it clear that the players and the protagonist are separate entities. Because of this, I hope players come to process what’s happening in the game through a lens of empathy – an understanding that they’re peering into someone else’s personal experience, even if that someone is a robot.
