Geel, Belgium - October 3rd 2024 - Rogueside is pleased to unveil its new narrative-driven murder mystery game coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, Best Served Cold. Set in the fictional Tzaran capital of Bukovie, 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 forcefully recruited you to help crack the cases in exchange for letting you off the hook for running a speakeasy. Serve your patrons cocktails to loosen their tongues, allowing you to gather the clues you need to solve the murders.
Meet a fascinating cast of intriguing characters seeking solace or stirring up trouble in ‘The Nightcap’, a bar renowned for attracting a 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 in spite of the friendships you build. Remember, even the tightest of lips can be loosened with the right mix of charm, persuasion and alcohol.
At the end of each day, you will find yourself back at your apartment with an evidence board that displays the clues you’ve collected. Connect related clues to make new deductions that you can take back to the bar the next day to interrogate customers with, while you soothe their moods by serving the right drinks and lending a sympathetic ear. Build your case piece by piece, then present your findings to solve a series of thrilling murder mysteries.
In Best Served Cold, you will experience a richly crafted world inspired by the cultural and artistic revival of 1920’s Bucharest. The intriguing characters you meet in The Nightcap - an illegal bar in the basement of an upscale bookstore - serve as a lens through which you learn about a city where cultural, political and economic shifts are fragmenting the old order, creating new tensions in a changing world. Learn how this backdrop ties into the lives of your patrons and the whirlwind of a murder mystery you’ve been thrust into in a story crafted by writers Joshua Aldred and Thomas Welsh, known for his work on Cloudpunk.
“We’re thrilled to reveal Best Served Cold for PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch with our new trailer,” said Antje Van den Heuvel, Art Director at Rogueside. “We’ve crafted an atmospheric world filled with fascinating characters that we know players are going to love getting to know as you serve them their favourite drinks, along with an intriguing mystery that’s going to hook you in and bring you along for all the twists and turns.”
