Best Served Cold Coming to Nintendo Switch This Year

Rogueside has exciting news: they’ve started working on a gripping detective-themed visual novel called Best Served Cold, which is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch.

Imagine an alternate history backdrop in Europe where you, a skilled bartender, find yourself moonlighting as a detective at The Nightcap. It’s the last remaining speakeasy in town, and your job isn’t just to mix drinks. You’ll be busy serving up cocktails while patrons pour out their secrets.

As you lend an ear to your diverse clientele, you’ll gather insights into their lives, striving to crack a mystery that ripples through all strata of Bukovie’s society. From the wealthy but tipsy patrons tossing money over drinks to the morally flexible cops and shady characters weaving webs of deceit, your sharpness is your greatest asset. Charm, delight, or even intimidate your guests to coax the needed information out of them.

Interacting with a cast of 20 distinctive characters, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of trust and caution as you navigate through the game’s five intricate cases. To save lives — and your speakeasy — you’ll need to scrutinize every clue and put each suspect under the magnifying glass.

Look for Best Served Cold to make its digital debut on the Nintendo eShop for the Switch worldwide in 2025.
