Best Served Cold Coming to Nintendo Switch Later This Year

Rogueside has shared some exciting news for fans of mystery and storytelling: their upcoming visual novel, Best Served Cold, is in the works for the Nintendo Switch.

Imagine Europe, but not quite as you know it. Here, you take on the role of a bartender who has unexpectedly become a detective at The Nightcap, the city’s last standing speakeasy. As you mix cocktails, your clientele begins to reveal more than just their drink preferences. Each glass you serve comes with a dash of intrigue and secrets, as the patrons open up about their lives, helping you piece together a puzzle that reaches all corners of Bukovie society.

Your customers range from wealthy socialites to crooked law enforcers and shady characters, all of whom have their agendas. With tact and intuition, you’ll need to charm, entertain, or even intimidate these varied characters to glean the information crucial to solving the overarching mystery gripping the city.

Best Served Cold offers a rich tapestry of 20 distinct characters, each with their quirks and stories. It’s up to you to decide who’s worth trusting and who might be hiding a knife behind their back. Your detective skills will be put to the test across five different cases, requiring a keen eye for clues and a sharp ear for questions that could make or break your business—and maybe even save a life or two in the process.

The game is set to launch on the Nintendo eShop globally in 2025, promising a unique narrative experience right from your Switch.
