Let’s Play Some $#!7!: Maid Café on Electric Street - Part 4
Sunday, January 26, 2025
Come join me for another installment of Let’s Play Some $#!7! | LPS$, where I play games to provide commentary to educate on game development! Provided I don’t get too caught up in the game to comment, which, in a sense, is commentary in and of itself.
Today, we continued playing Maid Café on Electric Street! This was first introduced to The Weekend Game Show | WGS via Let’s Play Some Demos - Part 10! And we’ve also had:
With that out the way, on to my opinions:
This stream was the first time I’ve played the game since the major update, which was released on January 22nd, and it included “new original NPCs inspired from friends of the development team”. It was fun pointing them out as they came into the café! As usual, the designs were great!
And, having beaten the game already, I couldn’t help but grimace when we got to my least favorite part of the game; the Spirit Channeling. Now, I think this is a glitch, represented by the following screenshot taken today:
In order to help a ghost get over her regrets so she could move on, she was channeled into a consensual, temporary possession. In order to do this, five people need to stand and face in a specific direction around the ghost. When I first did this, I would have rage quit had I not remembered the internet existed. My next playthrough, I found this book, imaged above, and I thought it would pop up as a reference during the scene but it didn’t. And, because I had found the directions before, I didn’t rage quit. Someone had, actually, put them in the Steam Discussion Boards. This time, I used a guide I had made because, again, the book didn’t pop up as a reference.

And it wasn’t until this stream that the </color>…, which I had seen before, finally clicked. And I feel like I dodo for it not clicking sooner. The Game Design degree FINALLY kicked in and it occurred to me the fact we, might, be looking at part of the code is why it’s not popping up as a reference, if it was supposed to pop up at all. If there’s a way to send them glitches, hopefully, I remember to send this to them.
With my least favorite part out of the way, the changes I did notice were great! The newly added NPCs had me freakin’ out about how well designed they were! And I talked to each one I spotted! The one saying the ghost was probably a projection that used ChatGDP (I think, and I didn’t feel like going through the video to find the reference) and other tech to program it… clever!
Lastly, I’ve asked once; I’m probably gonna ask a thousand times… WHY ARE ALL THE DAMN LIGHTS ON IN THE HOUSE?
And that’s it for this mini-review! Thank you for reading!
