Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterflycontinues the story of this chill, late-night café game set in an alternate, fantastical version of modern day Seattle, and I honestly cannnot wait. As we’ve seen from various trailers and demos over the last year or so, Episode 2 will introduce some new faces to its cast of regular customers, including influencer satyr Lucas and wannabe soprano banshee Riona. As the owner and sole barista of this hidden away establishment, you’ll be fixing them drinks while lending a kind ear to their daily frustrations and problems. The first game was extremely chill and lovely, and I’m confident Episode 2 will be every bit as cosy and relaxing as its predecessor.

You’ll also have some new ingredients to play with in Episode 2, including the titular Hibiscus, as well as Blue Pea, which (as you might expect given the name) turns drinks an intriguing shade of bright blue. As before, though, you’ll be able to spend as much time as you like adorning your concoctions with your own brand of latte art, or just serve it to them plain if, like me, you’re slightly hopeless at it.

If all that sounds like it might be your cup of tea as well, then take note. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly will be heading toSteamon April 20th. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an steaming mug of Earl Grey to attend to…
