One of the many delightful indie games to be featured in today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase was Necrobarista - Final Pour -, an anime-style visual novel from Route 59 and Coconut Island Games.
Described as "a story about coffee and death," this one has players following a group of characters as they navigate a fantasy version of Melbourne, sampling the city's coffee and exploring the questionable ethics of necromancy as they go. It has a soundtrack put together by Kevin Penkin, the BAFTA-nominated composer behind Florence, a fully 3D cinematic presentation, and arrives on Switch as a timed console exclusive.
In fact, Final Pour is an expanded director's cut of the original game that includes brand new story content and remastered visuals. There's also a new 'Studio' mode where players can create their own dialogue and stories, which sounds like a very cool addition indeed.
It seems the game is already live on the eShop at the time of writing, available for $21.99. If this sounds like your cup of tea – well, coffee – why not give it a go?

the art style is overdone, but the game's story looks thoughtful.
Anybody else feel like that one creature with the blue and white scarf looks like Runner from the Bit.Trip series?
@FiveDigitLP I thought it was!
I was about to play it on Apple Arcade as well. Wonder if that version will get updated.
This actually looks like it could be really interesting. Another one to keep an eye on.
I was interested in this game, but the tweet its writer made last year finally convinced me...
... to buy Saya No Uta instead.
It’s actually 15% off, for $18, not $21.
Sounds like a hipster's dream come true. No thanks.

Thanks for the link. I contemplated buying Necrobarista but I absolutely HATE western developers/writers who tackle a classic japanese genre and think they can do it better and everything else is sh*it.
