Press release:
Super Rare Games today announced with great delight and thrill that they have just partnered-up with Coconut Island Games and Route 59 to release a physical limited Nintendo Switch edition of their thought-provoking cinematic visual novel “Necrobarista“!

That’s right! And only 4,000 copies total will ever be printed, which go on sale on September 8th at 6pm BST (10am PDT/1pm EDT) – available worldwide exclusively at superraregames.com.

In the usual Super Rare Games fashion, the rare physical release comes with all the current content on its cart, with our release being the definitive Final Pour edition, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and trading cards. Fans also won’t be waiting for long as Super Rare Games titles ship shortly after release.

About Necrobarista

Inspired by film and anime alike, Necrobarista is a unique take on the visual novel medium. Follow a dynamic and diverse cast of characters as they navigate Melbourne’s hipstery coffee culture, the questionable ethics of necromancy, and the process of letting go.

💀 BAFTA-nominated composer – Soundtrack by Kevin Penkin, the composer for Florence, Made in Abyss, and Norn9.

☕️ First-person adventure – Delve into the world of the Terminal and fantasy Melbourne through free-roaming first-person scenes.
