About This Game

The game features:

As an AI within a cocktail vending machine, your mission extends far beyond just serving beverages.

• Deep Emotional Data Mining:

  Listen to the fragmented messages customers leave on an anonymous social platform. From these snippets, capture their truest emotions, unspoken troubles, and deeply hidden desires. Every piece of text is a key to unlocking their inner world.

• Creativity-Driven Mixing Simulation:

  Utilize a rich inventory of raw ingredients and a unique mixing system – precisely controlling sweetness, sourness, alcohol content, and drink volume. Every special concoction you craft is designed to perfectly match the customer's current state of mind.

• Unlocking Stories and Resonating Journeys:

  Successfully understanding and satisfying a customer's emotional needs won't just improve your "empathy match rate." It will also unlock new drink recipes, deepen your understanding of more customers' life paths, and gradually reveal the urban legends hidden within this pixelated world.

• Unique Pixel Art Style:

  Immerse yourself in a distinctive visual experience brimming with retro charm and a touch of cyberpunk aesthetic, feeling the subtle emotional connection between humans and AI.

This is more than just a bartending game; it's a journey of understanding, connection, and self-discovery. Are you ready to listen to the stories left untold?
