Cafe management with a magical twist, plus roguelike combat elements and a pretty cool witchy style. HIPS N NOSES is one to keep on your wishlist.
The developer PepperStones from Korea noted that by day you run a "cozy yet mysterious café that helps customers regain their lost memories" and by night you "dive into surreal dream worlds, battling monsters and gathering rare ingredients to brew memory-restoring drinks".
It's not just the style that grabbed my attention here, it's the pretty surprising game mechanics with the way you serve customers. HIPS N NOSES just oozes style. Check it out in the trailer below:

More about it:
- Recipe Customization - Each customer visiting the café has unique tastes and preferences. By picking up subtle hints in their conversations, players can adjust and enhance recipes with the best possible ingredients. Successfully satisfying even the most demanding customers leads to greater rewards and increased profits.
- Combat in Dream World - The ever-changing dream world offers new experiences with every exploration. Meet various people in reality who also appear in the dream world, and together, defeat numerous monsters to collect special materials that cannot be obtained in reality.
- Elements That Provide the Fun of Growth - Players can customize their café with various kitchen tools, interact with diverse customers, and grow stronger by defeating dream monsters. These growth systems enable players to handle more customers more efficiently, adding depth and long-term engagement to the gameplay.
It's currently aiming for a 2026 release.
