Nick Mosier based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20220523-203594\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a> (original article&#8217;s publication date: 2022-05-23 09:51 JST)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>Japanese developer Heaviside Creations has announced <em><strong>Tokyo Coffee Pandechika<\/strong><\/em>, with a release planned for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tokyo Coffee Pandechika<\/em> is a nostalgic coffee game set in a Tokyo caf\u00e9 during the pandemic. In the trailer, we can see plastic dividers between seats, alcohol dispensers set up across the bar, additional fans for ventilation, and posters asking patrons to social distance\u2014all common sights in Tokyo as the pandemic has gone on in our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The below trailer also shows character sheets for what look to be baristas and customers of the caf\u00e9. With each of them being masked, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u3010\u611f\u67d3\u798d\u30ce\u30b9\u30bf\u30eb\u30b8\u30fc\u3011\u6771\u4eac\u73c8\u7432\u30d1\u30f3\u30c7\u30c1\u30ab 1st PV\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fCZBCsPTVao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>While not much information has been revealed about the gameplay, the trailer does seem to show a brief glimpse of it with drip coffee being made by extracting it from a coffee grinder. While only a guess, the game may have coffee brewing simulation elements where players grind coffee beans and pour hot water to craft a perfect cup of joe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heaviside Creations previously released a video streaming RPG called <em>Live in Dungeon<\/em> in 2021. In the game, players would explore dungeons while streaming their exploits, with reactions from in-game viewers influencing the game. Combining classic dungeon crawling with the modern twist of streaming made for a unique concept and game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tokyo Coffee Pandechika<\/em> also reflects our current reality by weaving the pandemic into the game. It\u2019s been a while since the initial outcry regarding the difficult situation restaurants were put in because of the pandemic, but it will be interesting to see how that angle impacts a game set in a caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tokyo Coffee Pandechika is a nostalgic coffee game set in a Tokyo caf\u00e9 during the pandemic.
