Welcome to The Paranormal Pour!

Step into the mystical world of The Paranormal Pour, where the clock strikes midnight and the tavern comes alive with an array of supernatural beings craving their favorite concoctions. As the new bartender, you find yourself in a whimsical yet challenging environment during the witching hour, where every pour and shake could lead to delightful tips or dire consequences.

In this enchanting tavern, your primary task is to craft the perfect drinks for an eclectic mix of customers, from charming vampires to mischievous goblins. Each patron brings their own unique personality and drink preferences, making every interaction a blend of fun and challenge. But beware, not all is as it seems! The tavern has a strict no-mimic policy, and these deceptive creatures are notorious for sneaking in, masked as regular customers. Your keen eye and sharp instincts are your best allies in spotting and vanquishing these tricksters before they cause chaos.

Master the Art of Mixology

With a variety of ingredients at your disposal, you'll need to perfect your mixology skills to satisfy your supernatural clientele. Each correct drink mix not only earns you generous tips but also boosts your reputation as the best bartender in the otherworldly scene.

Spot the Mimics

Serving a mimic is a costly mistake that can turn your bustling tavern into a scene of mayhem. Pay close attention to the subtle hints and quirks that give away these impostors. Maybe it's the slight shimmer in their eyes or an unusual request that doesn't match their character. Use your wits and observational skills to detect and expel these menaces before they wreak havoc on your shift.

Survive the Night

Each shift at The Paranormal Pour is a test of your speed, accuracy, and intuition. Can you keep up with the growing demands of your supernatural patrons while keeping the mimics at bay?

The production quality and art design of this game is through the roof.

I was absolutely blown away by how professional this game was it was a very small scope but executed to perfection.

The art from the characters to the bar and the drinks to the amazing labels were all so beautifully crafted I couldn't spot a thing out of place.

The music was fine, it was magical and felt on-tone for the setting of the game. The SFX of uncorking the drinks and pouring them was perfect though and felt very satisfying.

Speaking on the pouring the little minigame was really cool it kinda reminded me of Gears of War and it's reload function.... which I think might have originated this "sweet spot" kind of mechanic. (I could be wrong though)

And finally needing to pay attention to the race specific brands and the hidden mimics was such a great feature and pulled off really well.

Very first customer I had was a mimic which was a great way of learning what to look out for. Love the art, love the sound. Really good time killer.

Now to go back and beat my score.

Thanks! We had two incredible artists, Danesykins (Characters and Tavern) and FlyingMobula (primarily Bottles and Labels, plus the main menu icons and logo).

Reminds me of a more polished version of a really old flash game.

( Don't remember the name )

Really well made assets, labels & fitting music, the timer did make searching for the correct drinks to mix a challenge.

Well done!

Thanks Quinten!

I love this! The labels and characters are so stylish and well made, and I love the notion of needing to rely on those labels to properly progress. Good work!

Thank you!!! We were really excited to share this with everyone. We felt it was a nice mix of subtle chaos and puzzle solving with a little player creativity. I couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished.

I love this! The art is so cool and the game loop is really fun. Also kudos for whoever designed all those labels, they're REALLY beautiful and clever

FlyingMobula is the artist behind those labels. They crushed it!

love the art! Hahah! i kept forgetting the order xD and the first thing i did when i saw a vampire was to serve him the do-not-serve HAHAHA

Our artists are rockstars, for sure. Thanks!

Its really good, the combination of the differenct customers and their orders is refreshing for gameplay.

Thank you so much, we appreciate it <3

Love the art and aesthetic!  I would suggest having the order shown on the screen in case you forget what they asked for while you're mixing drinks.

Thanks!! We wrestled with the idea of showing the drink order on the mixing screen. Personally, I felt like it made the game a little too easy. It felt a little more fun/chaotic to have to remember the order and the type of customer. In the future, we'd like to add some difficulty options and this would definitely be part of it.

Wow, that's really a flawless game: great art, music and game play. Y'all really nailed everything! I love it <3

Thank you evie! I had so much fun creating wild creatures to come order drinks. The team did a great job of making my cast of fantasy freaks come to life.

Thank you for the complement! That's some crazy random luck with the wolfsbane whiskey. Maybe buy a lottery ticket? :D
