Burning Tires 3D is an iOS racing game developed by German studio Deep Silver
Fishlabs and released January 13, 2009.

Critical reception[edit]
SlideToPlay gave it a 2 out of 5, commenting " Burning Tires 3D is a good game for
younger players, but anyone who can see an R-rated movie will get mighty bored
mighty fast. "[1] PocketGamer gave the iPhone version 5/10 writing "Uninspiring level
designs and unadventurous gameplay conspire to spoil the few moments of fun this
game tries to pack in".,[2] 6/10 for the mobile version writing "A pretty 3D racing game
that unfortunately plays as bad as it looks good", [3] and 5/10 for the Android version
writing "Caught between cutesy kart racing and something more sober, Burning Tires
fails to satisfy either camp with bland design, poor handling, and frustrating physics".
[4]
 AllAboutSymbian said "While Burning Tires is a skillful game, with some great choices
made in the physics and UI engine, it is missing a little spark to make it a truly great
mobile racing game. Would I recommend it? If you’re a racing nut, then yes – there’s a
lot on offer here, but it’s all under the surface. For a casual player looking for something
in this genre I’d probably suggest this as a second or third choice." [5]

Gameplay[edit]
As it is a visual novel, the player reads through the story and makes choices at crucial
points to change the outcome, leading to one of six different endings. The game is
divided into three main paths; the protagonist changes her appearance based on the
player's choices.

Plot[edit]
The protagonist, who has lost all her memory, finds herself in a strange place called
Café 0, where a blue-haired waiter serves her a glass of water. She now relives the last
seven days of her life and has the chance to unveil the truth and find the cause of her
death. She soon discovers that three people might be connected to her death; Ami, who
claims to be her best friend, Shou, the school's doctor, and Tooru, who seems to be her
ex-boyfriend. The plot takes different directions based on the player's decisions.

Development[edit]
The game was created with Ren'Py. The story and the graphics were created by Chu3,
Mirage from Zeiva Inc helped with co-writing, and proofreading was done by Mink and
Roxie. A professional team of Japanese voice actors recorded voices for the game,
including Cancer Murakani (Sui), Yuya Kakitsubata (Shou Takizawa), Mato Sarashina
(Tooru Mizutani), Nanase Watarai (Ami Kawase), Nao Utsunomiya, Sayuri Misaki, and
Sudachi Harumi. The German translation was done by Marcel Weyers, who also
translated dUpLicity ~Beyond the Lies~.

Reception[edit]
Café 0: The Drowned Mermaid received positive reception on TechnologyTell, where
the reviewer gave 93 out of 100 possible points and praised the game's "unique
gameplay experience".[4] The game received three out of five stars on Gamezebo, with
the reviewer writing: "It’s certainly not the most dynamic piece of literature ever written
[...] but if you’re into interactive novels and you’re curious to find out how a mermaid can
actually drown, you’ll almost certainly want to play long enough to see the game’s true
ending."[5]

Sequel[edit]
A sequel, Café 0: The Sleeping Beast, was released on October 29, 2016. It features
new characters in a different setting, a theme song, and a longer play time than the first
game.
