Coffee Shop Tokyo launched on May 21, the third game in the popular visual novel series where you run a coffee shop, perfect your latte art skills, and chat it up with a rainbow of interesting patrons. You can pick it up from PlayStation, Xbox, or the Nintendo Shop at its retail price of $15, or take advantage of the 10% launch discount on Steam, which reduces the price to $13.49. However, the best deal by far is at Fanatical, which offers the Standard Edition of the game at a 25% launch discount, meaning you can score it for just $11.24. There’s also a Deluxe Edition with some extra goodies packed in, which retails for $14.38.
The Coffee Talk series goes to Tokyo in the newest chapter, meaning you’ll be brewing drinks not just for your human customers, but for yōkai, too! Get to know your patrons and build trust with your regulars as you brew drinks to soothe their spirits. Your dialogue choices count and can lead you to multiple endings, so think carefully about where you want to steer the story before you answer. You can learn more about your patrons using Tomachill, the game’s social media network, revealing new layers of storytelling and lore. And the lo-fi vibes you’ve come to love in previous Coffee Talk games are back, courtesy of composer Andrew “AJ” Jeremy.
If you spring for the Deluxe Edition, you’ll get a copy of the digital soundtrack and the digital art book along with your copy of the base game, which is a pretty good deal for just over three bucks. It’s also a fantastic way to throw the developers some extra support for making games that feel like a safe space when you play them.
If you’ve never played the first two games in the series, you can grab both of them in Fanatical’s Prestige Collection Build Your Own Bundle deal, which allows you to choose any two titles for $15. They come as a bundle, so they count as one of your two games–and if you want, you can keep adding games to reduce the cost per title and make the bundle deal even better. Other eligible titles include Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom Deluxe Collection, Mortal Sin, and more.
Fanatical is also in the midst of its May Madness sale, meaning that you can save on both individual games and bundles through the end of the month as you build a backlog so huge you’d need two lifetimes to play it all. A new bundle also launched on May 22: The Mutant Crawl Classic RPG Bundle, which can net you up to $365.68 worth of TTRPGs perfect for the horror fan with a passion for B movies for $18. If you prefer to start smaller, you can get four books for $1 or 20 for $10. Built on the award-winning Dungeon Crawl Classics engine created by Goodman Games, this collection will keep you and your game night friends busy for a long time.
