Rogueside is stirring up some excitement with the announcement of their new visual novel, Best Served Cold, which is being crafted for the Nintendo Switch.
Picture this: it’s an alternate historical take on Europe where you step into the shoes of a bartender who’s swapped mixing cocktails for sleuthing at The Nightcap, the town’s last standing speakeasy. Not only will you be serving up drinks, but you’ll also be serving up some justice as you pick up on the whispered secrets of your customers.
Every night brings a fresh tale, as your clientele opens up about their tangled lives. Your job is to tease out the truth tucked beneath their stories—a mystery that winds its way through all layers of Bukovie society. From the well-heeled revelers who frivolously throw around their money, to the unscrupulous lawmen and shady characters keen to drag you into their dubious doings, you’ll need a sharp mind and a discerning heart. Use wit, charm, or intimidation to coax the details you need from your patrons.
The game boasts a colorful cast of 20 unique characters. Part of the challenge is figuring out whom you can trust and who might double-cross you. With five intriguing cases to crack, sharp attention to detail and relentless questioning of every potential culprit are essential. The stakes are high—not only in saving lives but also in ensuring the survival of your beloved speakeasy business.
Look for Best Served Cold making its digital debut on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch all across the globe in 2025.
