The visual novel won’t make it to PS4 or Switch until 2021
After facing “a lot of setbacks and false starts,” Route 59’s caffeinated visual novel adventureNecrobaristais coming to Steam on June 12, 2025–and then Nintendo Switch and PS4 in 2021.
Necrobaristais a supernatural take on Melbourne set in a café that resides between life and death, which should be a fun narrative playground. Here’s the gist: wayward souls visit the establishment for a bit of coffee and conversation before moving on, and the story revolves around a cast of characters including Maddy, the shop’s new necromancer owner, andNed Kelly, a real-world-inspired figure.
It’s got a slick presentation– notice all those keywords?– and even some first-person exploration.
According to the creators, “The game has gone through a huge number of reworks and tweaks to make it the best it can be, and it’s turned into something we’re really, really proud of.”
I wonder how many cups of coffee were consumed during development.Plenty, I’m sure.
