tl;dr - Good story, don't actually think it qualifies as a game. ~ This is a difficult review to write. I was not un-entertained by the story of Necrobarista. It definitely got to me and made me root for the characters and their struggles with the situations they were in. I'm just sure you can actually call this a game. The only times you get control are between chapters when you can go about the Terminal cafe and search for side-stories to read or mini-games which are literally just paint and clipart modes. The main story, the one you should care most about, doesn't actually offer anything that I would call 'gameplay'. The main story is told entirely through cutscenes. Now, it's a visual novel so some people might say that's okay, but every other visual novel I've played has had points where you could affect the overall story by making choices. Those are completely absent here. There is one story and one story only in the main game, and it will play out in its entirety the same way each time. There is zero variation (which some would argue means zero replayability). Again, story's good, but that's all there is. I don't regret picking it up, because it was on heavily-discounted sale, but I'm one-and-done with it. ~

"I don't blame you, and maybe one day I'll be able to stop blaming myself too." Necrobarista is a wonderful visual novel that explores death, life, and coming to terms with those things with a charming cast of relatable characters and a healthy dose of comedic relief. It's not a long story, but I'm genuinely glad to have experienced it. If you're looking for gameplay rather than "just" a story, this is not the game for you. It's 100% about the writing.

Highly recommended for people who loves reading texts or generally, novels, if not, then it's best to stay away. Yep. STAY AWAY. You'll be bombarded with so many texts and the way this game tells the story is unique too, it has this cinematic style of storytelling which made me intrigued and find this game a hidden gem. I even "voice acted" while playing because of the cinematography style to immerse myself. XD The character design is very attractive, cel shade never fails to disappoint. I loved Maddy's design (MC) The story is about life and death, acceptance for the departed. Game is too deep, so many heavy wording that might throw you off balance. Best played on cold evenings while having a warm drink. ----- PS: You can "animate" in the game too. AND design robot NPCs

For some reason I thought this had a more game-play element than a visual novel. Nonetheless I'm really curious where this is going and enjoying the story so far. It's also a great way to wind down in the evening.

slightly hit and miss in places and a myriad of typos, but repeatedly poignant where it matters. the authors care a great deal about people, and in particular about humans as humans. it writes very lovingly about peoples flaws and knows how to translate the nuanced mask of comedy and honesty into a dialogue format. i was in particular enamoured with the fisherman memory and the ending of the main story. the trope of passing on is handled well. sometimes tries to come across as a bit too profound where it's not, other times tries to use humour as a mask for the ability to just say things it knows are not profound but that it believes anyway, but who cares. the side stories (note: i don't mean the memories with this) did not do much for me.; one of them kind of felt like one big self-insert, which i guess is fine? i don't know, strikes a bad chord with me whenever i sense it. it's really short and it's well-made, maybe a little lacking on creativity and new things, but definitely well-worth your time if you're into this kinda juju. or was it mojo? very tiring to imagine everyone speaking with an australian accent all the time
