Toge Productions has announced Coffee Talk.

The new game is likened to a barista simulator mixed with a visual novel coupled with high-fantasy characters – but with seemingly no hints of liberal arts majors. Its coming to Windows PC and Mac sometime next year. Featured above, you can view the game’s announcement trailer. A playable demo is currently available via Steam, itch.io, and Game Jolt.

Coffee Talk was originally drafted up as a part of the studios own internal game jam, only to be greenlit as a full commercial product after it garnered positive feedback from the public. As part of their design process, Toge Productions will share their development process over on Twitter.

Here’s the first screenshots:
