How it feels

A seemingly cozy bartender simulation that slowly reveals an unsettling, Lovecraftian undercurrent where mixing drinks for non-human patrons feels both relaxing and fraught with hidden tension.

What players say

Players describe a lightweight bartending game mixed with Lovecraftian horror, where you infer whether customers are human or inhuman based on dialogue. The gameplay is thin, content is limited, and there is no voice acting, but the two special NPCs each have six short story scenes. Some fans of the developer's earlier visual novels wish they would return to that style.
