Crunchyroll Launches Pub Encounter Anime Game on Android

Pub Encounter joins Crunchyroll's Mobile Game Vault as a fresh otome experience from Dogenzaka Lab. This romantic visual novel transports players to a nostalgic pub setting where they'll interact with a cast of refined mature gentlemen.

A refreshing premise

Step into Audire, an elegant bar radiating warmth and sophistication. Here you'll encounter worldly gentlemen who break the mold of typical otome protagonists - their depth comes from lived experience rather than youthful perfection.

Crafted by The Men of Yoshiwara developers, the game maintains familiar visual novel mechanics while offering fresh romantic pathways.

Each character brings layered depth: Sanosuke Sawamura's polished businessman facade conceals unexpected sensitivity. Yamato Nishina carries an air of quiet mystery from his undisclosed past.

Iori Sazanami's literary prowess doesn't translate to romance skills, while bartender Akira Kokonoe reads others' hearts better than his own. Toma Kiriya's theatrical charm adds playful energy to the ensemble.
