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.

实在是讨厌雨果这个叼毛的语气和办事方式,越玩越玩不下去,真弱智。
Очень ламповая и интересная игра. Персонажи хорошо проработаны и многогранны, с течением времени игры привязываешься к ним и действительно сопереживаешь. Круто, что советы, которые даются НПС действительно влияют на их жизни и ты видишь их дальнейшее развитие. Еще жирный плюс в том, что можно романсить персонажей, совершенно этого не ожидала, правда хотелось бы какую-нибудь короткую сценку в конце с выбранным персонажем для полной картины. Из минусов могу отметить то, что не всегда очевидно какие улики соединять и когда, часто приходилось тыкать пальцем в небо, ну или я просто тупая. В общем очень рекомендую, не пожалела потраченного времени!

beautiful art, cozy and simple mechanics, interesting characters, really good BGM, have i mentioned beautiful art? still, i wish there was a more satisfying ending to the conclusion of the cases, instead of "oh yeah, we caught them. okay bye." some narrative/exposition or reaction from the other patrons would be enough. anyways, i miss you hugo mertens.........
처음 시작할때 더빙이 나와 기대감이 컸지만 시작할때 더빙이 전부고 이후는 특이점 없는 비쥬얼 노벨임 게임 자체는 키워드 모으는 흔한 유럽소설 읽는 듯한 느낌임 넬레 노이하우스의 책을 몇 권 읽어봤다면 알거임 그 느낌 다만 주제가 "칵테일" 인데 그 깊이가 심히 낮음 먼저 위스키가 들어간 칵테일은 잘 쉐이킹 하지 않음 근데 여기선 모든 칵테일을 쉐이킹 해버림 스터링과 플로팅이 존재하지도 않고 마우스만 끄적여댐 이름도 지 멋대로 바꿔 놓음 스토리를 위한 요소라 변명하는 데 올드패션드, 블러드메리, 모히또가 저작권이 있는 것도 아니고 오히려 칵테일을 잘 알았다면 게임에 풀어나가기 편했을거임 이럴거면 그냥 바의 시그니처 메뉴로 도배해도 됐을걸 칵테일 이라는 도구만 필요했을 뿐 별로 관심조차 없는게 느껴짐 그도 그럴게 메뉴만 봐도 시대가 중구난방인 데 청교도 등의 이야기를 보면 1930년대 이전 유럽이 시대적 배경인데 1940년대 이후 스미노프사에서 개발한 모스크뮬이 나옴 이런건 대체역사고 아슬하게 걸쳤다 쳐도 1980년대 개발한 에스프레소 마티니는 시대가 맞냐? 금주법의 시대는 저급한 밀주 맛과 단속을 피하기 위해 주스를 섞은 칵테일들이 개발되던 시기임 여기서 고증에 어울리는건 블러드메리 하나뿐임 피나 콜라다? 넌 진짜 검색을 좀 해봐라 만든 인간이 칵테일 조사한다고 위키도 안 본게 느껴짐 자료조사는 창작의 기본인데 금주법도 칵테일도 조사를 안함 칵테일 조주를 아는 사람 입장에선 진짜 개 대충 만든 무언가임 애초에 칵테일 도수가 10도 미만이 전부던 데 벨기에는 바에 가면 칵테일에 물타서 마심? 그런거면 벨기에는 앞으로 프렌치에 프라이드 반납해라 마시는것도 대충하는 애들이 뭘 씹는걸 논하고 있음 대체역사고 추리가 메인이니 대충하자? 이게 무료게임임? 게임적인 부분도 할말이 많은데 그냥 겉멋이 존나 들었음 술만드는 행위는 왜 필요한지도 모르겠고 그냥 하나하나 짚으면 이해 안가는거 투성이임 설정,스토리, 게임성 삼박자 전부 지적하면 논문 나올 듯 좋게 생각 해줄려해도 장점이 분위기가 전부 아님? 그 분위기란것도 홍대 근처 원피스 피규어 세워놓은 일식집 수준이고
Really fun story based game. Very satisfying to complete. Looking forward to the next game..
The way the game unfolds in progressive chapters is extremely compelling, and provides for a really interesting narrative. Would recommend.

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!
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!
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
