Rogueside has just revealed some exciting news: they’re working on a new detective-themed visual novel called Best Served Cold, and it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch.
In this intriguing game, you’ll dive into an alternate history version of Europe as a bartender-turned-detective at The Nightcap, the last remaining speakeasy in town. As you mix and serve enticing cocktails, you’ll also be collecting secrets from your customers.
Your patrons’ tales offer glimpses into their lives, helping you untangle a web of mystery woven deeply into Bukovie society. From the flamboyant high-rollers lavishly spending on drinks to the shady cops and underworld figures trying to pull you into their dubious activities, you’ll have your work cut out for you. It’s a delicate balance of delighting, charming, or sometimes even intimidating your patrons to gather the clues you need.
You’ll encounter 20 distinct characters, each with their own story and potential secrets. It’s up to you to decide who to trust and who to approach with caution. With five riveting cases to crack, you’ll need to explore every nugget of information and interrogate each suspect if you want to save lives—and keep your business afloat.
Fans can anticipate finding Best Served Cold available digitally on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch in 2025.
