In a world of dwindling light, your speakeasy is a bonfire in the night, attracting all sorts of characters… including killers.
A unique new murder mystery set in a bustling bar, Best Served Cold, has officially launched on consoles.
Best Served Cold is a narrative-driven adventure from Rogueside NV, and it is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch for £14.99. You’ll have previously seen this one on PC.
Welcome to “The Nightcap”
It’s time to flip that sign to open, turn up the jazz, and find out if you can serve customers, make friends and enemies, and solve heinous crimes, all before last call.
The story of Best Served Cold takes place in the city of Bukovie, an alternate-history European metropolis in strife. With labour strikes, rationing, unrest, and the shadow of war looming, citizens flock to dance halls and speakeasies to escape their fears. “The Nightcap” is the last speakeasy in town, and you’re the one pouring the drinks.
Shaken, Stirred, and Interrogated
Your job is twofold. On the one hand, you must mix and serve cocktails with a twist. On the other, you must become a detective, listening to your clientele’s stories and learning about their lives as you unravel a mystery that touches every layer of Bukovie society.
A good bartender knows that conversation is just as important as the ability to pour a perfect drink. You’ll need to listen carefully and keep your wits about you as you delight, charm, or even threaten your patrons to get the information you need. Think Coffee Talk, with the threat of death…
With a cast of 22 unique and engaging characters, from drunken dandies to crooked cops and seedy lowlifes, 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 distinct cases, you’ll have to explore every clue and question every suspect to save lives… and, just as importantly, save your business from going under.
