About
In an alternate history Europe, “The Nightcap” is the last speakeasy in town, and you’re pouring the drinks… while your customers spill their secrets. Mix and serve cocktails with a twist, as you become a detective while trying to save your bar.

Listen to your clienteles’ stories and learn about their lives as you unravel a mystery that touches every layer of Bukovie society, from the drunken dandies splashing cash on cocktails, to the crooked cops and seedy lowlifes who try to rope you into their shady schemes.
A good bartender knows the art of conversation is just as important as the ability to pour libations, so listen carefully and keep your wits about you as you delight, charm or even threaten your patrons to get the information you need. With a cast of 20 unique and engaging characters it’s up to you to choose who you can trust, who will have your back… and who will stab you in it!

Over the course of five cases, you’ll have to explore every clue and question every suspect to save lives… and save your business. It’s time to flip that sign to open, turn up the jazz and welcome your first customers of the night.
Bukovie may be a city in strife, with labour strikes, rationing, unrest and the shadow of war looming, but instead of cowering in fear, the citizens flock to dance halls and speakeasies. Crumbling grandeur might inspire melancholy, but that’s nothing a stiff drink won’t cure.
In a world of dwindling light, your speakeasy is a bonfire in the night. Though the city may soon burn, cocktails are always…
Best Served Cold.

Reviews
Every case draws you in and you continue to see how it effects everyone you talk to. As you grow closer and get to know the people who enter you find more about why they act, do, or speak as they do. This game continues to interest me and the story of each case makes me want to find out who did it and why.

Wow! What a brilliant game! I am writing this review while taking a break from the game, hoping to savour it for as long as possible. I'm constantly taken aback with the intelligent dialogue and beautiful art ranging from the characters, to the animations, to the beautiful cocktails to serve. This is absolutely a new favourite. Please tell me there will be more??
故事很细腻,推理部分没什么难度,调酒的界面做的不错配合音效还真有一种在调酒的感觉 缺点是很多对话触发方式不明,线索板的链接更是莫名其妙毫无逻辑
Played the demo because I love murder mysteries and the art/general direction seemed cool and as soon as I finished that I purchased the full game because I was hooked! I love the merge of bartending with detective work, the art is gorgeous, the writing is fun, and the gameplay is engaging. I enjoyed solving each puzzle and putting together the clues. Will absolutely be turning in to other projects by this team. Money well spent!
打了半天彼得好感度只差一点点就满了,什么叫[spoiler]侦探把我送进去吃牢饭了?? [/spoiler]这割裂感也恶心了, 导致 [spoiler]第二任酒保 [/spoiler]我完全不想玩
In addition to the 21.4 hours I spent in the game, I spent 2.6 hours in the free demo. Unfortunately the demo isn't always available, so if you see it and you're curious, be quick to download it and try it! I got lucky that I happened to notice the demo was back and tried it, fell in love. Every character is a PERSON, complex and multifaceted. It takes time to earn their trust (and/or get them tipsy lol) to get them to tell you what you want to know. I was invested in all their stories and happy to see the character development unfold, especially as more characters got to know one another. There's a lot of great humor as well. The music is nice too, very chill. Peter is my favorite <3 There were plot twists I genuinely didn't see coming, which is always exciting. I also didn't have to do much googling and could generally figure out what to do next. The drink mini-game is indeed simple and as easy as it looks, but there's a mild twist on the mechanic introduced later. For me, the conversations and deductions more than make up for the simple mini-game, and it's quick enough that it doesn't feel that intrusive. If I had to pick a gripe, it's that the ending could have used a little more resolving/unwinding. I may mostly be salty about the Peter situation lol [spoiler]I was promised romance and I expected to see a little something at the end, even just a hint of a date![/spoiler] But all in all, I really enjoyed the ride, the twists and turns, and the mechanics. I'm looking forward to the developer's next game!
단서 키워드 하나하나를 정성스럽게 찾아내야 하는 게 번거로워서 추리고 뭐고 화부터 났는데 손님들 말에 집중하면서 여유롭게 진행하다 보니 어느새 빠져 들었음. 근데 엔딩 분기 조건 찾아보니 챕터 하나를 노가다해야 하길래 포기함. 대화 통째로 스킵하는 버튼을 만들어주지 않는 이상 못할 것 같음 캐주얼하게 즐길 추리게임 찾으면 추천함
Absolutely fantastic! Stellar story and characters, each case felt reasonable to solve, enjoyed all the characters and their banter and relationships. The drink minigame is easy enough, and the accessibility settings make everything customizable to your comfort level. I absolutely loved this and will continue to tell anyone I can about it. Very VERY excited for the next one!
