Smilegate, Inc. will officially release "Maids of Storm," a maid cafe management simulation game developed by BurgerDuck Games (Co-CEOs: Heesuk Lee, Seungjin Noh), on Steam on Friday, April 24, 2026.
**Development Background: The "Theme Park-like" Charm Encountered on a Trip to Japan**
This game originated from a special experience during a trip to Japan by the two co-CEOs of BurgerDuck Games, when they visited a maid cafe.
Co-CEO Seungjin Noh stated the inspiration for the development, saying, "When I visited a maid cafe, I felt a bright and fun atmosphere, as if I had come to a theme park, and I wanted to express that in a game."
**Game Features: Deep Management System**
"Maids of Storm" is a management simulation game where players grow a maid cafe with charming pixel-art graphics.
Beyond just customer service, it offers strategic enjoyment by managing the maids' conditions and emotions and placing them in appropriate roles.
**Realistic Reproduction of Immersive Maid Services**
To realistically express Japan's unique maid culture, the developers visited actual maid cafes multiple times and thoroughly researched their services to reflect them in the game.
* **Order Service:** Enchanting omelets with "Moe Moe Kyun" spells, or performing dances and songs when drinks are ordered.
* **Mini-games:** Interactive elements such as drawing illustrations with ketchup on ordered dishes, and taking "cheki" (instant photos) with customers.
* **Management Elements:** Includes a competitive system to aim for victory in the "Maid Championship" and various episodes.
**Gameplay Proven by Users**
The game has already recorded high satisfaction on the STOVE platform, where it was previously released, proving its high quality to users.
