About Handsome Laundering -the mystic lover-
Handsome Laundering -the mystic lover- is a Nintendo Switch otome game released on March 26, 2026. It is based on the original drama CD series Handsome Laundering as a prequel (Episode 0).
Introduction
Do we know love or malice—
A popular laundry café in the city center, "L&L café space," is surrounded by a persistent rumor:
"They take on secret requests and grant the wishes of those in need."
After being drawn to L&L's door by a certain incident, the protagonist joins its quirky staff members in solving cases together.
A brand-new story set before the drama CD series — a romantic mystery ADV where mysteries forge bonds.
