Longing for too dazzling otaku culture -Cafe in Electric Street, which lives a new life as a maid cafe shopkeeper

While walking on Bitsummit 2022, which was held for the first time in a long time, a booth Cafe in the Electric Town ( Maid Cafe at Electric Street ( Maid Cafe at Electric Street. ) Discover. Did it become too open after the first time in a glance and even a game for adults was exhibited? ! I just tried it, but it wasn't (of course), and the contents were ADV & simulation games set in a calm maid cafe.

• The protagonist who was covered with excess work and was deprived of human rights was changed to a maid cafe
• Now become the manager of the maid cafe and let the shop regenerate!
• Chinese creators are thinking about Japanese culture

However, when you actually play, various feelings are repeated and rapidly rising, and it is a game that gives a feeling of a masterpiece giving a sense of a masterpiece, where the feelings of the swimsuit and the other emotions. understood.

The protagonist who was covered with excess work and was deprived of human rights was changed to a maid cafe

By the way, first of all, I started playing with an unavoidable heart saying, I wonder if the child in the swimsuit will come out soon, will it be a hot summer or a cool development? I couldn't do anything while holding it. I can't hide my confusion in the development that suddenly drops.

The protagonist is called by her boss by numbers, and it seems that her heart is clearly limiting to see her options. It's over! I have to change jobs! The protagonist, who exploded her anger, shouted at her boss and declared her retirement. Office colleagues are applauding their appearance. No, everyone else should consult with the labor base immediately! Close the union and negotiate with the company! I don't think... but it's not that kind of game **, so I'll do my delusions here.

The protagonist retired with momentum, and of course she was not decided in her next workplace, and suddenly became completely unemployed. Now, my heart was dominated by the anxiety of what to do...

On the other hand, a lot of pixel art is drawn, saying, You don't have to work overtime until the last train anymore, and the world at the moment you get unemployed is so beautiful... . The city where cultures such as animation, games, and movies, such as animation, games, and movies are drawn in Nihonbashi, are freshly drawn.

This work is made in Unity, not only implements pixel art, but also implements a special shader **, realizing an original expression that is different from other similar titles. thing. It was not just because the Japanese subculture was drawn with great dizziness, just because I abandoned my job and became free.

By the way, while walking in such a beautiful culture city, the protagonist goes to a certain maid cafe. However, it seemed that one maid was crushing in a rattling store. The name of the maid is Shiro. She is the heroine of this title (the child of her swimsuit at the beginning is also her). She talked to her, apparently she had no manager. While listening to her story, she suddenly worked as a store manager.

Now become the manager of the maid cafe and let the shop regenerate!

The newly manager, who has become the manager, first goes to the city with Shiro to increase the number of maids in the store. The maid candidates were found to have gothic lolly children and a no-gal, and the protagonists were Shiro and the two, and sometimes stalked ** gals, and tried to use that hand to invitate them.

In this way, the protagonist will collect maids and operate the store in earnest. In the shop part, it is possible to decide which character to serve as a maid, and then automatically operates. Some parts are made to make drinks such as VA-11 HALL-A and Coffee Talk , but as far as the developers talk about it. It was said that the simulation elements that operate the cafe will be stronger.

Chinese creators are thinking about Japanese culture

By the way, this work is a mixture of the gameplay that runs a maid cafe and the elements of ADV exploring the city, but the strongest feeling when playing this work is the whole Japanese subculture as I drew on the way. It was a strong reflection of feelings like longing and sparkling.

Until now, there have been many games that have drawn otaku culture such as anime, games, and idols, but it may be unusual to have been drawn with the beauty so far. In order to reveal the reason for such a depiction, when we talked to the creator Liu Hirofumi, he said, I am a Chinese who was originally raised in Japan **.

Liu changed his home to China at the age of 11 and lived at university. In the meantime, my thoughts on Japanese culture and landscape spent as a child became stronger, and my thoughts were fruited at coffee shop in electric town **.

By the way, the reason why the stage became Nihonbashi is that otaku town is Akihabara, but I decided to change it a little because many works were drawn . It seems to have been quite effective, and the city scenery has two types of scenery, which is full of various cultures and emotional scenery, and there is a vivid landscape that depicts longing for Japan.

Coffee shop in the electric town is currently under development. A store page is available on Steam. By the way, the style of Shiro in the main story is as modest as the screensho so far, and the Shiro of the swimsuit, which was also displayed at the venue, may be the main character, the main character, is full of Photoshop.
