Alexx AplinI love a good murder mystery. Agatha Christie mysteries are a lot of fun, but I can get into all sorts of “whodunnit” stories. Now you can check out a demo for a new game that blends mystery with another variety of fun, bartending.
Best Served Cold has you working as a bartender in a fictional speakeasy, where murder suspects, witnesses, and other folks gather. It’ll be up to you to solve the mysteries that lie before you, while also mixing a good drink. Here’s what the press release says about Best Served Cold and its new demo:
“Rogueside is thrilled to announce that the first demo for its narrative-driven murder mystery game, Best Served Cold, is now available, allowing players to take a trip to the fictional city of Bukovie and get a taste of the atmosphere and intrigue that will be coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch with the game’s full release. To celebrate the release of the demo on Steam, Rogueside has also released a brand new gameplay trailer that shows off the game’s evocative art, investigation mechanics[,] and drink mixing.
In Best Served Cold, you play as a bartender at a speakeasy where potential suspects and witnesses gather. The police are stumped by a series of murders shaking the local community, and an ambitious young detective has enlisted you to help crack the case. You’ll need to impress him to keep running your illegal establishment. Serve your patrons cocktails to loosen their tongues, gather clues[,] and solve the murders!
Meet a fascinating cast of intriguing characters seeking solace or stirring up trouble in ‘The Nightcap’, a bar renowned for its varied clientele that spans the social strata. Lend an ear to your patrons and form a bond as you get to know their backstories – you’ll no doubt fall in love with the fascinating cast, but you’ll still have to coax out confessions and uncover clues using the friendships you build. Remember, even the tightest of lips can be loosened with the right mix of charm, persuasion[,] and alcohol. “
Antje Van den Heuvel, Art Director at Rogueside also commented on the announcement, stating: “We’re thrilled to reveal Best Served Cold for PC, PlayStation, Xbox[,] and Switch with our new trailer. Once players get a taste of the atmospheric world we’ve crafted, meet some of our fascinating characters and start pulling at the threads of our murder mystery, we think they’ll be back at the bar asking for another serving! The demo will be available throughout the whole of Steam Next Fest, so we hope you check it out!”
While it isn’t clear whether the demo for Best Served Cold will be available after the Steam Next Fest is done, you can play it until February 10th at least. Hopefully, the demo won’t go away, so more people have the chance to check it out. Either way, Best Served Cold should be on your radar.
