Touhou Mystia’s Izakaya for Switch launches May 2, 2024
A cozy Touhou project restaurant simulator.
The Switch version of Touhou Project restaurant simulator Touhou Mystia’s Izakaya will launch on May 2, 2024 for $24.99, publisher Phoenixx and developer Dichroic Purpilion announced. It will support English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language options.
“Touhou Mystia’s Izakaya breaks the mold of the usual Touhou game,” said Dichroic Purpilion founder Youzi KK in a press release. “Instead of combat, players must utilize cooking and customer service to achieve victory. We are very grateful for the success that Touhou Mystia’s Izakaya has experienced on Steam, and we look forward to bringing the mobile restaurant experience to a new platform.”
In Japan, will also be available in physical standard and limited editions for 4,510 yen and 9,130 yen, respectively. The latter includes a full set of playing cards featuring the game’s characters, a select original soundtrack CD, and a Mystia Lorelei wearing an apron figure strap.
Here is an overview of the game, via Phoenixx:
An unruly customer destroyed Mystia Lorelei’s tavern—the most popular in all of Gensokyo. While restaurateur dreams were shattered, bills must still be paid! Rebuild, starting with a humble new food cart, pay off Mystia’s ever-growing debts, and grow the business to revive the restaurant to its former glory.
Running the best tavern in the Touhou universe requires round-the-clock work! During the day, collect recipes and source hand-picked ingredients from the wild to cultivate fresh produce. Befriend the local townsfolk and hire employees to help with daily duties. Watch the clock while running daytime errands—restaurant doors open every night and hungry customers await!
Open for business in the evenings and deliver a flawless experience. Each visitor has distinct preferences, favorite dishes and beverages, as well as individual budgets. Converse with guests, showing hospitality with promptly-fulfilled orders and friendly interactions. Chain together successively-satisfied customer service combos to create massive profits, but invite ire from Mystia’s mentors when careless management leads to unhappy guests.
While hired workers can handle everyday tasks, keep an eye out for rare visits from Reimu, Akyuu, and more than 30 hungry Touhou characters who require a personal touch. Learn the culinary preferences of each special visitor who will only hint what they would like to be served, and be prepared to cook up off-menu items to unlock special rewards.
Scout new locations for Mystia’s food cart across six familiar Touhou locations including the tranquil Hakurei Shrine and the bustling Human Village. Re-invest profits to improve the business, collect cute costumes, enhance the ambiance with decorations, and unlock two soundtracks’ worth of music for customer’s enjoyment during every evening.
