Grimm & Tonic: Aperitif

At $5, you get what you pay for with this game. It takes less than an hour to do an initial run through, though there is certainly hours more content available. Replay-ability is there as there are many branches to the story, but it doesn't take long to get the general message. I'll probably play more once I've thought about the story some more. The game is very art heavy and clearly inspired by manga and comics. Great selection of music. Really good writing, if simplistic at times. I would love to see another game set in this world, maybe continuing the story of the players character. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves to support indie devs and wants a quick and artsy good time.

now first off im going to say people who reviewed the game really dont know how to review this game. I feel like people are looking at is as for example of another game cyber punk. when you look at the price difference this game is much cheaper and with that being said more people would have a positive review rather than negative. the art style in the game I enjoyed but at times it can be a little to much for the human eyes but the story line is good as it was very funny. meeting people in a bar and you have no soul but growing it from them is a very good concept and thats the main point of the game. this is a story line game that unlike big names can be played causally. you sit down for an hour or so and dont have to worry about fighting or anything like that. the only negative i have is that I wish death played a bigger role and you got to know him more and the end was a bit sudden. it is good short and simple and easy.

Short little game that doesn't take long to finish. Interesting story. could be expanded more on but a nice little story that doesn't take too long to play.

they made bartender skeletons boring

Decent visual novel about being a bartender for Death. It is EXTREMELY short though.

When it comes to bartending visual novels, Grimm & Tonic may not be on the same level as the genre’s gold standard (Va-11 Hall-A). However, its style, music, and manageable size gives the game a leg up on other games in the same space. I would definitely love a sequel if the devs ever decide to revisit this story.

This a well put together game of choices that drive you to where the story is going to do and what is going to happen. I really enjoyed the play through of it and probably made some questionable decisions but that's okay! I would highly suggest this game. It is a good way to pass some time and just enjoy a little story game. I do hope they introduce more episodes in the future because I would for sure play again. I do feel that I will play it again to see if I can get any different endings in the game.
