The new game "Maid Café on Electric Street" is a leisurely maid café adventure game set in the otaku haven of Nipponbashi, Osaka. It is being developed by Adventurer's Tavern and published by PLAYISM, and is scheduled to launch for PC via Steam on November 18, 2024.
In the game, the player takes on the role of a protagonist who has quit their toxic job and finds themselves appointed as the temporary manager of the run-down Fuwa Fuwa Café. There, they meet and get to know the four main maid characters - Shiro, Miyu, Favna, and Honoka, who are all voiced by a talented cast of voice actors.
The gameplay involves managing the café, serving customers, and exploring the sights and shops of the Nipponbashi district, which features many real-world collaborations with local businesses. Players can also collect capsule toys featuring characters from various indie games. The story is described as a "leisurely maid café adventure" focused on the daily lives and relationships of the café staff.
Overall, "Maid Café on Electric Street" seems to offer a charming, slice-of-life experience for fans of maid cafés and the Nipponbashi setting. The attention to detail in recreating the local area, the diverse cast of characters, and the focus on relaxed exploration and character interactions appear to be the key draws of this new release.
