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.

这作剧情和推理性都一般,按理说是不值得一个好评的。但是主创写人设的能力真是一绝,整部作品里女帅男靓,让玩家的后宫欲得到了极大的满足,尤其是雨果还有个死亡结局,一下拉高了我心目中这游戏的分数。但凡是能杀掉可爱侦探的作品,在我这里是绝对不会差评的!!!!! 嗯,还有个值得一提的问题,桑德拉这个人太有魅力了,难怪所有人对她好感拉满。如果她是序章酒保的话,我确实没有信心攻略这里面任何一个人……她让我感觉和所有角色都郎才女貌天生一对,我自己是个反对的妖怪。一个游戏最好不要这样攻击玩家吧。
I really really loved this visual novel. I loved the characters and their depth that you slowly get to unravel, the growth you see happening. It felt very heartwarming and the last case really hit me in the feels.. not bc I liked the main victim so much ([spoiler] that sympathy flew out the window FAST in the second to last case lol [/spoiler]), but bc the community that you built throughout the game gathers around you to support and show love. 12/10 can't wait for the second game that got announced!
Really fun story based game. Very satisfying to complete. Looking forward to the next game..
Solid game. The epilogue was a bit too short though. [spoiler] Was really hoping you could've had a few days at the end where you could chat with the customers and hear about what happened. [/spoiler] - Keen to play the sequel, and although unlikely - it would be nice if we can transfer over the choices from this one.
温馨细腻的视觉小说,推理元素30%不到吧,喜欢客人就会觉得很有趣的调酒师模拟器
미묘...함...막챕의 반전은 신선했는데 엔딩이 허무해서 그닥...? 이건 모든 챕이 다 공통인듯 칵테일 요소는 거의 없음 그냥 맨날 좋아하는거 만들어주면 됨
可以更新一个章节模式吗?由于关键线索没拿到知道凶手但是交不上去,失去全成就我好忧郁啊! [spoiler]以及序章桑德拉和彼得给我嗑美了但第二任酒保也可以和彼得恋爱是何意味[/spoiler]
The way the game unfolds in progressive chapters is extremely compelling, and provides for a really interesting narrative. Would recommend.
Amazing game!!! Way longer than I expected (in a good way, although case 4 is a bit boring since there's less combining clues) and has really fleshed out backgrounds for every single character. I noticed a few typos, and during the last case or two, and I noticed a glitch where questions I already asked were highlighted again (and no, there weren't extra dialogue options, it's the same dialogue as the previous time). Other than that, it's a very well made game and the right amount of difficulty (I find a lot of puzzle or mystery games to be very tedious and too difficult). I saw they're coming out with another mystery visual novel, and I'll definitely be checking it out when it releases!
literally so great
