Midnight Mixology – a guest at the counter of a small night bar in Klaipėda under a brass lamp, rain on the window and an amber cocktail on the bar

Albertas ran his little bar in Klaipėda’s Old Town for thirty-eight years. Three weeks ago he left you the keys, the brass lamp and his black notebook – and disappeared. Every night from midnight to closing time the same people come down the steps out of the rain: a night nurse who has stopped sleeping, a taxi driver who never drinks on shift, a widower who always orders two drinks, a lawyer who works until two so he does not have to go home, a woman who only comes when it rains and sits at the window table.

Mix real cocktails measure by measure – stirred, shaken or built, in the right glass – from the bottles behind the bar and the ones the guests bring. Six taste bars show how close you are to what each guest wants; sometimes they say it, sometimes you have to listen. Then choose what to say: a kind lie or a hard truth, a push or a silence. Over six weeks of autumn rain into the first snow, twelve regulars and their stories move on, Albertas’s torn notebook pages turn up behind the till, and the right drink and the right word decide how their stories end – and whether the bar survives.

Thirty-six story nights, a guest of the day with a short story of their own, the Friday rush, weekly tasks and twenty-six classic and house recipes keep the bar open long after the story ends. The game is in English and Lithuanian, works offline, needs no account and has no in-app purchases. A small banner is shown in the menus, never while a guest is at the bar; optional short ads can give a recipe hint or open one more night a day. For adults – drink responsibly, and never drive after a drink.
