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.

This game was pretty good. The art is delightful and the menus are clean. The drink making minigame isn't too weird and is pretty intuitive. The clue discovery is a fun minigame itself and you've got a clue board you pull up at the end of the night that helps you map things out and even helps discover new clues itself. A tier system exists for getting information out of people based on what drink you give them and their level of drunkenness that's fun to work with. There are some points where it drags a little or you miss something for a few days because the person you actually need to talk to and get clues from doesn't visit the speakeasy, but you have more than enough time if you pay attention to the clues and what people are saying. A few times when presenting clues to the detective/PI the continuity breaks because you can offer up clues that are reliant on other clues you have but haven't presented that the detective/PI will then act as if you didn't just tell them the higher importance clue already. Little odd. Otherwise, I highly recommend this game if you like cozy murder mysteries and feeling like Columbo.
An intriguing game, with mystery, murder and love. Really gives you the chance to connect the dots yourself.

steam为什么就是没有中评的选项呢 这款属于有点意思,但到不了推荐,对于强迫症来说,越到后面越是折磨...好处是成就给得非常爽快
Great game! Very fun, intuitive and compelling. The only downside would maybe be that the cases are a bit predictable - often you can guess who is guilty and their motives but you still need to get the clues. Anyhow I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend!
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!
Love the character's, love the whole questioning mechanics, I love some good stories XD
I genuinely enjoyed the storylines and artstyle in this game. It did feel like telling the wrong person the wrong thing would have a negative impact on gameplay - much like you would with a real mystery!

I absolutely love this game. I audibly squealed and screamed so many times. The characters are incredibly well written; their stories captivating and interesting even if they have nothing to do with the mystery. The fact that you're solving murder from behind the bar makes this game very different from similar games I have played, and ensures that it stays engaging. I was stumped a few times because I forgot to show a clue to someone or because I avoided a certain topic with someone, but overall I found this game extremely fun and engaging to play. THE LAST CASE THO! AAAH!
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。
