Introducing Affogato - A New Game from Spiral Up!

Greetings Inmates!

We know you are looking forward to the release of Back to the Dawn. And while we are working hard on the development of Back to the Dawn, you may like to check out another game our publisher - Spiral Up Games - has just launched!

[h2]Affogato - An Anime-Inspired RPG That Blends Magical Storylines, Cafe Management & ‘Reverse Tower Defense’ Battles[/h2]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Affogato brings on a unique twist of reverse tower defense battles and coffee simulation, all wrapped in captivating anime-style visuals. Step into the shoes of a sorceress managing her very own cafe, and master the art of coffee brewing while developing strong relationships with your customers. Venture into the labyrinth of their minds, and help them overcome their inner demons using a collection of unique Witch Cards. Listen to their compelling stories, embark on side quests, and set forth on a journey to illuminate the eternal night of Arorua City.

[h3]Alliances & Tactical Decisions[/h3]
In Back to the Dawn, forming the right alliances is crucial to surviving in prison. This essence of tactical decision-making mirrors the world of Affogato, where Witch Cards are your alliances in their own right. Much like choosing to ally with different inmates in prison, selecting the right Witch Cards are pivotal in navigating battles and overcoming adversaries.

[h3]Strategic Combat Experiences[/h3]
Brawl fights in Back to the Dawn require you to plan your every move, making use of various strategies to outmaneuver opponents. This need for strategy is echoed in Affogato, where you’ll find yourself in intricate reverse tower defense battles. These battles will offer a fresh challenge every time, mirroring the unpredictable fights in Back to the Dawn.

[h3]Embark on Diverse Quests[/h3]
Much like Back to the Dawn which immerses players in a range of quests amid its high-security prison setting, Affogato promises an array of side quests within Arorua's never-ending twilight. From bustling areas to serene spots, meet intriguing characters, and uncover stories that add depth to the main storyline.

[h3]Shape Your Own Narrative[/h3]
In Back to the Dawn, every choice within the prison walls carries weight, influencing outcomes and shaping your path to freedom. Similarly, Affogato celebrates the art of decision-making, where each action can change the course of your journey. Both games honor the power of player choice, inviting you to weave your own captivating experience.

Thank you for allowing us to share a glimpse of Affogato! For those who are interested in experiencing a unique blend of strategy, coffee, and magic, Affogato is offering a 15% launch discount till 23 August, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity!
