About This Game

Drink is a short, top-down 2D narrative game about alcohol dependence, routine, and the moment where the excuses stop working.

You play as Drink — a former teacher now drifting through a small, indifferent town. The world continues around you. You are not the centre of it.

There are three places to go:

• The Pub

• The Hotel Cocktail Bar

• The Cabaret

Each one reflects a different story you tell yourself.

Drinking helps — briefly.
It restores you in the moment.
But it also makes everything else worse.

There is no branching redemption path.
There is no heroic ending.
There is only the morning after.

Features

• A focused, single-sitting experience

• Top-down pixel art world with reactive NPCs

• Three themed dungeons representing habit, rationalisation, and escapism

• A restrained narrative told through implication and sparse dialogue

• A fixed ending centred on accountability, not recovery

Content Note
