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.

Très bon jeu d'enquête même si je trouve dommage qu'on ne puisse pas rejouer certaines enquêtes
一款值得慢慢体验的小说游戏,绝对值得
Really enjoyed this one. Filled an Ace Attorney/Hotel Dusk shaped hole in my heart. Very well written, memorable characters. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Eu adorei o jogo! Levei 40 horas para conseguir todas as conquistas e foi empolgante do início ao fim. Neste jogo, você é um bartender e ajuda um detetive bonitão a resolver casos de assassinato enquanto serve drinks e busca a verdade. Minha única observação seria o romance, acho que poderia ser melhor explorado no jogo, já que temos a barra de afinidade e alguns personagens que eu realmente gostei já tinham parceiro, o que foi meio desestimulante, espero que melhorem a mecânica do romance nos próximos jogos. já tem uma sequência confirmada e já está na minha lista de desejos! I loved the game! It took me 40 hours to get all the achievements and it was exciting from beginning to end. In this game, you're a bartender and you help a handsome detective solve murder cases while serving drinks and searching for the truth. My only observation would be the romance; I think it could be better explored in the game, since we have an affinity bar and some characters I really liked already had partners, which was a bit discouraging. I hope they improve the romance mechanics in future games. A sequel has already been confirmed and it's already on my wishlist!
A very fun mystery game! All the characters have dimension and each case requires some solid thought to connect clues. The artwork and music are also phenominal
best bartender detective game I've played, very excited for the sequel. 10/10 bonus points for my beautiful wife Peter.....
玩到第四章和我说出bug了结果还只能从第一章重新玩的救赎感

我喜欢布科维这里地下酒吧的酒很好喝
I initially played the demo for Last Night, Last Call before playing this but decided to give this ago because the demo was so good and to get to know the general setting and some characters who return in LNLC. This is incredibly charming. The crimes you solve are interesting and characters feel like fleshed out people with nuance and depth, many of whom even change over time. Given that I played the new game demo I did have a slight edge when solving some of the cases by presuming that if a suspect appeared in the LNLC demo they'd be innocent. Still, this did nothing to make me enjoy this game or the process any less. I think the game is well-paced and the mechanics are solid. It's not impossible to lock yourself into failing to solve a case but I think it's pretty hard. Personally, I play these types of games for story over challenge but felt there was a good balance between directing or giving me subtle hints and leaving me to make connections myself. I think the cases were all interesting but did find the last case to be a bit more bare than the rest. BUT it did connect beautifully to the tutorial case at the start so for that alone I can't complain. It's minor, but I wish the save system was slightly tweaked. The game does often quicksave and you can manually save but I wish once you solved a crime it was just unlocked and you could start fresh from there without having to rely on saving on day 1 yourself. Overall this isn't a long game (especially if you marathon your games like I do) but it's incredibly fun, has oodles of charm, and does make you want to keep going to really make sure you figured out the who, how, and why.
