Игра "Spooky Speakeasy" оказалась неожиданно увлекательной смесью симулятора и визуальной новеллы с щепоткой мистики. Идея управлять подпольным баром, населенным призраками и прочей нечистью, сама по себе заманчива, а стильный графический дизайн и атмосферный саундтрек только усиливают впечатление. На первый взгляд, геймплей кажется довольно простым – смешивай напитки, общайся с клиентами, старайся угодить их причудливым вкусам. Однако, по мере продвижения, раскрываются более глубокие сюжетные линии, связанные с каждым из посетителей бара. У каждого призрака своя история, свои тайны и свои потребности, и от того, как вы с ними взаимодействуете, зависит развитие сюжета. Система смешивания напитков требует не просто механического запоминая рецептов, а скорее интуиции и экспериментов, что добавляет игре интерактивности. Правда, иногда диалоги кажутся немного затянутыми, и не все истории одинаково интересны, но общее впечатление от игры остается положительным. "Spooky Speakeasy" – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет атмосферную, неторопливую игру с интересным сеттингом и запоминающимися персонажами. Рекомендую!

A decently enjoyable yet flawed little game. One of the main draws is certainly the different creatures with their designs, personality and stories, which are quite creative. Aside the important characters there are also filler costumers, which are simple different coloured slimes though they still have unique flavour texts when placing their order. Meanwhile the overall main story of the bar facing closure isn’t particularly interesting, but does make a good setup and being very tongue-in-cheek is still entertaining. The gameplay is functional, but could be a little more refined. For example by ironing out the bug where the beaker slides under the toppings, even though it doesn’t soft-lock you as you can pick it up again by clicking between the toppings. A save state function would be a welcome addition as well even if one playthrough is only about an hour long. The mechanic of matching the colour of the drink to the order to figure out ratios and some of the ingredients is interesting. However if you are colour blind it can become a problem and even if you are not it can be quite challenging at times. To sum it up this is a fun and serviceable game with room for improvement. You get a decent hour of entertainment out of it for when you have some time to spare.

This is a great game with a ton of replayability! I love all of the art, the character's unique personalities, the music and the gameplay mechanics. I like that it's essentially a colour matching game, and with some drinks you have to really think about the colour theory to figure out the right ingredients. I think its cool that you can talk to a character after your shift every day, adding more of a narrative and character focus to what could have just been a bartending sim- this reminds me of games like Coffee Talk a bit! I think the tutorials are well done and make sure you understand all parts of the game. I was going through trying to see all of the dialogue from all of the different characters, but I've given up for now as it takes a while to play through the whole game so many times! There are a few very minor bugs, but I didn't encounter anything that actually inhibited my gameplay. There's one slime whose order doesn't show up, and the game wouldn't start from the beginning again after I finished unless I closed the whole game and opened it again. Nothing major! :)

Lots of personality with its fun characters! I got totally stuck though. Sometimes the orders are a bit unreasonable..

As a bartender, I didn't really enjoy this game. Also not for colorblind people.
