About the game
In a back-alley cafe, the dead are granted one last night to mingle with the living. Necrobarista follows a dynamic and diverse cast of characters as they navigate Melbourne's hipstery coffee culture, the questionable ethics of necromancy, and the process of letting go.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, NVIDIA GTX 660 or better, ATI 7950 or better, 3 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has been discounted 29 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 40 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
On value it sits in the top 30 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. The Almost Gone ($9.99, scores 49) outscores it, and so does Sayonara Wild Hearts ($6.49, scores 77). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Necrobarista -Overview: N/A -The Good: N/A -The Bad: N/A -The... Confused? N/A -Closing Remarks: Necrobarista is not a video game; not by my standards at least. Thusly, I cannot review it as one. What it is, however, is a fascinating story about life and death. If you expect gameplay, you will be let down, as there is no player choice, no actions you can take, nothing except experiencing the story. This is not a bad...
1 more review, not recommended
If I wanted to read a book I'd go to the library and read one for free, not pay 17€ to read on a gaming pc. 0 gameplay, cute animation, it is just a visual novel without even options.
