Rogueside Games has announced the release date for its detective-themed visual novel experience, Best Served Cold, and it’s coming on May 5th to PC.
The title will cost $17.99 with a launch discount of 10% off for the first week, with a version also coming to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation consoles at a later date. The blurb for the game says: “At the Nightcap bar, prohibition is a killer… and so are some of your customers! Get ready to serve your best drinks and put your conversation skills to the test to solve a murder mystery!”
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 clients’ 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.
Best Served Cold is coming to PC via Steam on May 5th.
