Real Sister Route Returns! Madosoft's New Title 'カフェトリカルカフェ' Slated for 2027 Release!
Good news: there's a real sister!
Bad news: the ancestral tradition (hair color) has changed!
Madosoft (まどそふと) has officially announced its new title 'カフェトリカルカフェ,' with the official website and a merchandise crowdfunding campaign launched at the same time.
The game is expected to release in 2027; the exact release date, price, and production staff have not yet been announced.
Story Synopsis
The protagonist 桐谷秀祐, whose only presentable skill is brewing coffee, transfers to 輝山学園 and moves into 輝山寮. At the invitation of dorm head 篠森よもぎ, he starts working part-time at the café 'アルテ' and strives together with her to revive this café on the verge of closing down.
His originally peaceful café life is completely changed by the arrival of three girls: his clingy little sister 桐谷葵依, his childhood friend 橘美杏 whom he reunites with after five years, and the mysterious girl 椎名雪里香 who claims to be Shusuke's 'bride.'
As the four heroines launch fierce romantic offensives around Shusuke, a cheerful romantic comedy set at the café 'アルテ' officially begins.
Character Profiles
篠森よもぎ（しのもり よもぎ）
A reliable 'flat-chested loli senior'
A third-year student at 輝山学園, the dorm head of 輝山寮, and the manager and sole employee of the café 'アルテ.'
Naturally gifted, she consistently ranks first in her grade.
She originally planned to close the café, but after meeting Shusuke, she decided to rebuild 'アルテ' together with him.
桐谷葵依（きりたに あおい）
A calm and composed 'clingy little sister'
A first-year student at 輝山学園, and Shusuke's real little sister.
Usually calm and steady, but very clingy in front of her big brother.
She excels at illustration and design, regularly takes commissions via social media, and dreams of one day handling the overall design for the café her brother runs.
橘美杏（たちばな みあ）
A 'わふわふ childhood friend♪' who loves her childhood friend to no end
A second-year student at 輝山学園, Shusuke and Aoi's childhood friend, reunited after five years.
She has studied cooking since childhood and is especially skilled at making desserts, with ability recognized even by professionals.
Cheerful and highly sociable, yet she has never forgotten her childhood first love.
椎名雪里香（しいな せりか）
A mysterious 'bride'
A first-year student at 輝山学園, the daughter of a wealthy family's company president.
She usually ignores all suitors, but favors Shusuke alone, calling him 'Darling' and claiming to be '桐谷秀祐's bride.'
Her true purpose in approaching Shusuke remains a mystery.
Game CG
Crowdfunding Campaign
Madosoft has also opened a merchandise crowdfunding campaign for this title; the crowdfunding amount does not affect the game's production or release.
The crowdfunding tiers range from 11,000 yen to 500,000 yen, expected to start on July 31. More details can be found on the crowdfunding page.
The artist for this title is はすね, who previously worked on '树莓立方体.' However, at first glance this cover art doesn't have the usual Madosoft feel, and even the traditional hair colors have changed.
But the CG and character sprites are overall well-executed, and with illustrations by こもわた 遙華 plus the return of a romanceable real sister route, it's still worth looking forward to. Interested readers can keep an eye out for further news!
