The neo-noir visual novel tycoon mash-up game Coffee Noir, developed by DOJI and NAOS Software, will be launching onto Steam and GOG later this month.
If you’ve ever wanted to solve crimes all while running a successful coffee empire, then Coffee Noir may just be for you. It is the debut game of Polish development studio DOJI, whose primary focus is blending education with gaming. An announcement trailer was uploaded onto YouTube over a year ago now, so long-time fans have been waiting quite a while to get their hands on this. Fortunately, the developers have announced a release date, and it’s not long from now. You can watch the announcement trailer for it here.
What Is Coffee Noir?
Coffee Noir is one-part mystery visual novel and one-part coffee tycoon game.
