The concept of Necrobarista: Final Pour is truly intriguing as the game centers around the concept of being a barista at a cafe where the dearly departed come together for “one last night to mingle with the living“.
While Necrobarista comes across as a clever story for a game, I can’t help but feeling like it would be a truly incredible anime series. And that is kind of the point, as dev team Route 59 has done so intentionally creating a concept that is heavily inspired by manga and anime.
Experience the story of a café where the dead are granted one last night to mingle with the living.
Necrobarista: Final Pour from @route59games and @Coconut_Island is available now on #NintendoSwitch. #IndieWorld
