About Best Served Cold
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…

An intriguing game, with mystery, murder and love. Really gives you the chance to connect the dots yourself.
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
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!
literally so great
:]
Overall a fun experience. There were a lot of punctuation/spelling errors throughout the game, however. The story was interesting and solving the cases was enjoyable, but it could get tedious when I got stuck. The characters were likeable for the most part and felt like real people. I wish there had been an epilogue of sorts to wrap things up but overall I felt like the last case was a nice way to finish things.
