This is such a cute and fun game, I had a blast making the drinks! The art is really nice and sells the vibe well, the dialogue is pretty solid and sells some fun characters while also allowing world building. Livia was also really cool looking, and I loved her story being just a rough day, but I'd like to know more about herself and not just her vampirism.
The gameplay of making different drinks is fun, and I absolutely loved Frankie's grumble in the game. Having actual proper drinks you could make (I.E. "Bloody Bloody Mary") is super cool, but didn't seem to affect the immediate ending route I got. Like with Outerlimits that I was also sad when the game ended, I could really enjoy a longer version with more customers and story development between Jackie and their old boss, as well as I just like Frankie he's so interesting and nice.
On an additional note, congrats on your first game together! It really plays well and is a blast.

Thank you for your kind review! We plan to expand the game and take a lot of this into account. A lot was cut in the time crunch, and we had to learn how to build the mixology minigame which meant keeping it pretty simple. But now that we know what we're doing, the framework is there to add more interesting drinks, new characters, and new story outcomes!
