Rogueside has exciting news for Nintendo Switch fans: they’re developing a new detective-themed visual novel called Best Served Cold.
In this intriguing game, you step into the shoes of a bartender-turned-detective working at The Nightcap, the last remaining speakeasy in a reimagined Europe. Here, you’ll be serving up more than just cocktails as you eavesdrop on customers who might unknowingly spill vital secrets.
Your job involves listening carefully to the stories your patrons share, learning about their lives as you dig deeper into a gripping mystery that affects every stratum of Bukovie society. You’ll encounter a mix of characters—from opulent drinkers splurging on high-end cocktails to corrupt cops and shady individuals trying to ensnare you in their dubious plans. You’ll need to stay sharp, using your charms, wit, or even a hint of menace to extract the information you need.
Within the game, you’ll come across 20 unique personalities, each with their own stories, leaving you to decide who warrants your trust and who doesn’t. With five thrilling cases to crack, you’ll have to investigate every clue and interrogate every suspect to uncover the truth, save lives, and keep your beloved business afloat.
Expect the digital release of Best Served Cold on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch globally in 2025. Keep an eye out for more updates on this intriguing adventure.
