About the Game

Ah, 1980s...

Set in the vibrant, neon-soaked atmosphere of the 1980s, "Miami Nights" is all about reliving that nostalgic era. How did people think back then? What were their concerns? What music did they groove to? What did they make of those newfangled computers?

Cozy & Relaxing

In this relaxing, almost ASMR experience, you will step into the Miami nights of the '80s through the eyes of Ezel, an unsuccessful writer turned bartender. You'll spend hours making drinks and listening to patrons' stories, all while the music and the sound of the rain outside create a super cozy environment. It’s the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to brew some warm coffee, wrap yourself in blankets, and enjoy the ASMR triggers.

Characters

Some intriguing patrons frequent this beachside bar. There's Mac, a macho steelworker with a crazy ex-wife, and Prof. Sax, a clinical psychologist who engages Ezel in profound philosophical debates. And let's not forget Marshal, a raspy World War II veteran with harrowing war and concentration camp stories. These characters play a critical role in shaping Ezel's journey and helping him navigate the labyrinth of his life.

A Failed Writer

After all his books and scripts were rejected by executives, Ezel is now forced to work as a bartender, with his inspiration dried up. Unable to conjure the epic stories he once wrote, he faces an existential question: if he's not a writer, who is he?

All About Love...

Working in a beachside bar in Miami makes it impossible not to fall in love. The beautiful women, the rain outside, the stunning sunsets, the neon lights, the relaxing atmosphere, and the tranquil music create the perfect setting for a date every single day.

Miami Vice

Miami... 1980s... Get it? With illegal and semi-illegal activities happening all around you, trust is a luxury. You have to develop a sixth sense to navigate the chaos. What's behind those words? Are they honest or manipulative?

Bartending

Since it's the 80s, everyone is using shiny new computers, so the boss got a drink-making machine with a DOS interface to make your job easier. Just type in the drink you want, and the machine does the rest. You won't be slinging drinks like a bartender who thinks a Commodore 64 is just a fancy calculator.
