Today marks a quiet, yet significant moment for fans of nuanced storytelling as Serenity Forge, known for their work on “Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!” and Chorus Worldwide of “Dungeon Munchies” fame, bring to shelves the physical iterations of the visual novels “Coffee Talk” and “Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly.”
These editions, embracing both the standard and collector’s allure, are now accessible for platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, with price points thoughtfully placed between $39.99 and $149.99.
“Coffee Talk” and its successor invite players into a world steeped in the intimate art of conversation, all unfolding within the comforting confines of a neighborhood café. It’s not just about serving a blend of coffee but also engaging in profound, often heartening dialogue with an array of patrons.
