An absolute waste of beautiful graphics and sound.

This entire visual novel reads like a thinly veiled analogue of the writer's life experience. The writer is probably a millennial—who is deeply uncomfortable about it—that worked at a Starbucks in Australia and has issues with their dead father-figure. There isn't any significant character growth because it feels like a narrow slice of a young person's life being retold. All the necromancy bits are very shallow window dressing.

There's a lot of out-of-place pop culture references for the sake of them. They aren't dropped for humor (at least I hope they weren't supposed to be funny), they're just there.

The 'child genius' character knows who Icarus is and I'm supposed to be impressed. The 'old and wise' character shows teenage angst. The titular necrobarista is all-around insufferable. Everyone has similar speech patterns which really destroys the whole facade.

The game has a pretty standard 'click keyword for more info' mechanic, but doesn't use it in a meaningful way. I don't need to read a stupid joke about the word 'sweet', what I DID need to know was what the hell 'Adelaide' was because I'm not Australian. The story assumes more than once that Australian common knowledge is general common knowledge, but encourages me to click on the phrase 'old guy' for more information.

This game's tongue bored a hole right through it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheek and outright admits to you it desperately wants your approval. I'm not giving it.

Edit: The dude that wrote this VN tried to prop it up over Urobuchi Gen's 'Saya no Uta' and dismiss it as porn. Get the ♥♥♥♥ outta here buddy.
