Best Served Cold is an upcoming murder mystery game in which you play the role of bartender, aiding the police in apprehending some of the killers who frequent your speakeasy in an alternate-history Europe where alcohol prohibition is in effect. There is no release date yet, but you can raise a glass to that setup on PS5 and PS4.

Set in an atmospheric, surprisingly expansive world, developer Rogueside's game takes place in Bukovie, a city beset by labour strikes, rationing, civil unrest, and the looming spectre of foreign war. Across five cases, a cast of 22 characters will come through the doors, and you'll need to charm, cajole, and outright threaten them to keep your bar open, the drinks flowing, and the number of bodies piling up to a minimum.

What do you think of Best Served Cold? Does an odd mix of mechanics from Dave the Diver and Phoenix Wright seem like a compelling combo? Let us know in the comments section below.
