Hips N Noses presents a unique gaming experience that blends cafe management and roguelike elements, set in a world where sleep is absent. The protagonist, Mela, lives in this dreamless realm and works at a cafe run by Beri, who can sleep. Mela's job involves preparing magical coffees that restore lost memories, achieved through the use of magical flowers that grow from Beri and Mela's heads.
The game's management side involves serving customers' coffee orders and concocting drinks based on their preferences, while at night, Mela enters a dream world where she battles waves of enemies to acquire new powers. These powers can be supported by characters whose interactions with Mela in the waking world affect their abilities.
The game's mechanics combine elements of Overcooked and Vampire Survivors, and it offers a lo-fi hip hop soundtrack and a modern, witchy aesthetic. Though the basic gameplay mechanics are reminiscent of Vampire Survivors, the game's innovative features, such as the connection between coffee and memory, and the integration of support characters, make it an intriguing prospect.
Hips N Noses is set to launch in early access, allowing players to explore its cafe management and dream-battling aspects as they develop.
