How it feels

You run a speakeasy, mixing cocktails while gently prying secrets from patrons in a hand-drawn, alternate-history Europe.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and art, saying each person feels distinct and grows over the chapters. The murder mystery is solved by collecting clues from customers behind a bar, though some find the cases predictable and the clue-presentation system feels like guesswork. A few players note minor typos, minimal romance payoff, and concerns about historical cocktail accuracy.
