I was going to buy but now i don't know. The art of the game is so beautiful, the box art not so much.

Yeah, this is super weird considering Coffee Talk is an indie VN, while AW2 is a AAA action-adventure horror game. Still hoping it will eventually get a physical release..

The box art looks fine considering it's a double pack...

There's also the PlayAsia physical release that has a different box art so we have options at least:

Already got the first Coffee Talk, I'm usually not into visual novel games at all but somehow the whole listening to people's stories while virtually making drinks occasionally is quite relaxing. Only thing I had to change in the options was the beep/clicking sound when the text is rolling. I just switched it to auto appear in full because the "ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch" gets annoying reeeeally fast.

In fact, this may be the first visual novel I've played that wasn't just because I saw it in some meme video, unless you count stuff like Life is Strange as borderline visual novel (I'd call that more of an interactive story).

Switch, PS5 & PS4 listings are up in Europe on Amazon UK, FR, etc. and presumably at local retailers as well (I've already preordered my Switch copy).

Not exactly sure who and how the North American release will be handled though. :/
