[th]🎮[b]Gameplay:[/b][/th]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td] The game is divided into several phases, each represented by specific icons. During the bar work phase, players prepare cocktails through a mini-game called "Mixing Liquor," marked by a cocktail shaker icon. In this mini-game, players move a cocktail glass left and right to catch falling ingredients while avoiding the wrong ones. Key ingredients, such as hearts and blue gems, increase affinity with certain love interests.
When interacting with love interests, clicking on a heroine brings up a pop-up with a circle divided into three sections, each with a different icon. The "Invite Alcohol" mini-game, represented by a beer mug icon, is a skill-based game requiring timely clicks in the right direction. Achieving a good score in this mini-game is crucial as it unlocks events with the character, helping to deepen relationships. The difficulty of this mini-game increases with game progression and the chosen difficulty level.
The red heart icon triggers events that advance the storyline with the character in question. These events often present meaningful choices, such as deciding whether to help a girl in distress or let her be, influencing the direction of the story.
After working at the bar, players return home to sleep. During the day, they can visit the gym to increase stats, go to the park to pass time and hear gossip, or visit the mall to buy new ingredients that boost earnings in the "Mixing Liquor" mini-game. Players can also unlock a promotional mini-game at the mall to earn extra money. Each attempt costs 25,000 in-game currency and can be purchased once per day to multiply earnings. Additionally, there is the opportunity to engage in activities that further relationships with the love interests, enhancing the depth and replayability of the game. [/td]
