About the Game

Spirits and Secrets is a Bartender Simulator Murder Mystery game set in a medieval fantasy world. Talk to patrons, make their orders, and solve their mysteries by piecing together clues. Each chapter you will meet a cast of characters, some new, some familiar, and you will have to solve a mystery over the course of the week. Your choices matter, and the choices you make in previous chapters will reflect on how easy or hard your future chapters will be, who you befriend and who you cast aside, who you let live and who you let die. All of it matters and more, and this town will keep getting stranger as time continues on.


TALK TO PATRONS

As you talk to patrons during each chapter, you will learn more about them and acquire clues to further your progress in solving your current mysteries. You may learn things that need remembered for later, make decisions that have lasting consequences, or simply get to know the patrons of the town. 

MAKE DRINKS

Patrons will order drinks throughout their dialogue with you, you will have to make these drinks to their satisfaction, adding the correct ingredients and using the correct techniques:
Muddling: Click to keep a decaying bar within the correct area to muddle the ingredients.
Rinse: Move your mouse in perfect circles at the right speed to rinse the glass with alcohol.
Shake: Click the appearing targets before they expire to shake the drink in the mixer.
Roll: Move the drink contents from mixer to mixer at the appropriate height to roll the contents of the drinks.

SOLVE MYSTERIES

As you talk to patrons you will acquire clues, which will appear as sticky notes on your mystery board. Connect these sticky notes to the correct mysteries in the correct placement to solve mysteries, letting you solve newer mysteries unlocking new dialogue, until you solve the final mystery.
