Inferno Cafe Spotlights Seven Problem Maids of Branch 0, From a Devil Princess to a Vampire Chemist

Inferno Cafe has once again put its core monster-maid cast in the spotlight. On September 13, 2026, the official @InfernoCafeDev account shared a new set of profile visuals under the theme “The Problem Children of the Maid Cafe,” highlighting the residents of Infelis Branch 0.

This is not the first reveal of seven new characters. Zatahnia, Rachel, Gelatina, Hibana, Simone, Virginia and Belle had already appeared in earlier official material and are all currently listed on Steam. The new post is better understood as a fresh character roundup for the central ensemble, emphasizing the species, roles and absurd reasons each maid was sent to Branch 0.

Maid Profiles, Teaser and Steam

The Seven Problem Maids Are the Core of Branch 0

The September 13 post brings the main residents of Infelis Branch 0 back together.

Zatahnia, The Klutzy Devil Princess, is the Demon King's daughter. Her ambition is sky-high, but her actual results are disastrous, and repeated catastrophic mistakes are said to have sent her to Branch 0.

Rachel, The Rabid Wolf Girl, is a werewolf with a powerful sense of justice. Unfortunately, she has a tendency to nearly kill troublesome Masters and is considered far too feral for ordinary maid service.

Gelatina is The Melty Slime Idol, a corrosive slime maid who stages guerrilla idol concerts inside the cafe. Her bodily fluids have caused disasters when they fly through the room during performances.

Hibana, The Tongue-Tied Zombie Chef, is a shy and tearful zombie working in the kitchen. Panic around unfamiliar people can trigger an eating frenzy in which she devours practically anything nearby.

Simone, The Doll in Love with Love, is a bisque doll and the assistant manager. Her obsession with other people's romances extends to collecting couples' conversations through a wireless bug hidden inside her own body.

Virginia, The Mad Chemist Vampire, is a food-chemistry genius who is ironically unable to drink blood. One of her offenses involved putting a drink on the menu that causes a customer's entire body to glow in rainbow colors.

Finally, Belle is The Manager Who Stans Her Staff. She is Branch 0's manager, but becomes so obsessed with her own maids that she struggles to behave like their boss rather than another enthusiastic customer.

Branch 0 Was Built for Troublemaking Maids

Those bizarre personality traits are not isolated character jokes. Inferno Cafe's setting deliberately makes Branch 0 a dumping ground for problem employees.

Infelis is presented as the Demon World's leading maid-cafe chain and is personally operated by the Demon Lord. Branch 0 is its worst-performing location and doubles as a place where maids who create serious problems are sent to serve out punishment assignments.

That is exactly where the protagonist arrives after dying and returning as a cake.

Players are therefore not joining a successful cafe and maintaining an established business. Their job is to help this dysfunctional team improve enough to push Branch 0 toward the top of the sales rankings.

The Protagonist Is Not a Customer but an Edible Cake

Inferno Cafe's premise is as unusual as its cast.

After death, the player wakes up in Hell as a living cake capable of granting a small wish to whoever eats it. Because the cake can simply be baked again after being consumed, the protagonist can offer themselves to one maid each day.

That mechanic is called EAT ME.

Feeding the selected maid gives her a significant growth opportunity, while players also choose ingredients and tools that influence affection and statistics.

The long-term business goal is to make the cafe number one in sales. In return, the protagonist earns the chance to become human again.

Being eaten therefore operates as more than a dark-comedy gag. It is the progression mechanic and one of the primary ways the player develops a romantic relationship with a selected character.

Growth, Sales and Character Endings Share the Same Loop

Steam describes Inferno Cafe as combining maid development, business targets and relationship routes.

Players choose who receives a growth boost, select useful ingredients and pursue sales quotas. At the same time, every maid has an individual ending tied to different choices.

Loki's Revenge

That means the roguelite structure is not solely about increasing a cafe score.

Investing heavily in one maid can support a particular romantic route, but the player still needs to keep the entire shop performing well enough to meet its targets. Character relationships and business management operate inside the same cycle.

The official English description sums the idea up neatly: get eaten, fall in love and repeat.

The New Post Is a Spotlight, Not the Cast's First Reveal

The distinction matters when describing the latest announcement.

All seven maids were already shown through the game's February 2025 teaser trailer. Contemporary coverage from 4Gamer, Famitsu and other Japanese outlets also documented a seven-maid lineup at the time.

The September 2026 profile visuals are therefore not the first roster reveal.

What they do is bring the cast back together under the “problem children” theme while giving Branch 0's personalities another dedicated promotional push after the Steam page received more complete character information.

The 2025 teaser remains useful video context because it introduces the same cast. Since the current news is centered on character profile visuals rather than a newly released trailer, however, this article uses Steam material for its 12-image grid.

Steam Now Lists BerryGlaze LLC While the Release Remains TBA

The product information has also changed since the initial 2025 promotion.

Early reporting and the original teaser credited @DonuttyPd / ピーディー as the creator and publisher behind Inferno Cafe.

The current Steam page now lists BerryGlaze LLC as both developer and publisher.

This article follows the latest Steam credit without making assumptions about the internal transition, as no such speculation is needed to understand the latest character post.

The release date also remains TBA. A final price has not been published, while Steam wishlisting is currently available.

Why This Matters

1) Every character is defined by a different workplace disaster

They are not simply monster girls distinguished by species. Each maid's reason for being assigned to Branch 0 immediately establishes personality, role and potential conflict.

2) Character problems feed directly into the cafe premise

A panicking zombie that eats everything, a corrosive slime idol and a reckless vampire chemist provide an in-world explanation for why Branch 0 performs so badly.

3) Romance and management draw from the same resources

The protagonist can only offer themselves to one maid each day, turning a growth decision into a potential relationship decision.

4) The main cast is well established even without a release date

Players can already get a clear picture of seven central characters while BerryGlaze LLC has yet to announce the final launch timing.

Closing

Inferno Cafe is putting Branch 0's seven maids back in the spotlight with its newest character-profile presentation. Zatahnia, Rachel, Gelatina, Hibana, Simone, Virginia and Belle each embody a different kind of disaster, making it immediately clear why this particular Infelis branch has become the chain's punishment assignment.
