"Playthrough 1" - Is there NG+?

[King Lir]

Hi there, my save game says playthrough 1 on it but I have already failed and gotten a bad ending a couple of times. Is there a way to do NG+ and continue onto "Playthrough 2" and do I keep anything between playthroughs if I do so? Feel like I'm missing something obvious

Once you get a good ending and see the credits roll, You'll be back to the start of your first day of the cafe opening, but this time on "playthrough 2". Bad endings don't count towards the playthrough counter.

You keep all the inventory items you bought at stores, recipe books (though it gives you the option to buy recipes again, you don't need to unless they update patch how that works), items from capsule machines. You also retain all the money you were holding, fixed tables for the cafe, items in your apartment and the bike if you bought that.

You will however, lose progress with the maids, their stats will be reset to their defaults, so I recommend saving a decent sum of money up from before the credits roll so you can rebuy the skill books. You also need to play through the game to properly meet the maids again, so only Shiro and Miyu are available when starting a new playthrough.

Hope this answers your question!
