Drink of Choice
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
They say your drink of choice can tell someone a lot about you. For MC that's literal: By sharing a drink with someone they can learn their story, their struggles and their secrets. When a sad patron enters the bar, the MC decides to share a drink with them and help them sort their problems.
A small and cozy story centered in a conversation between two strangers in a bar. Learn a part of Valeria's history and what troubles her. Maybe some advice can help her out!
Bartender
VA: Richard Weber
A courteous and gentle man that can easily adapt himself to the person he’s talking to. He helped MC in the past when they were struggling, and seeing in them a desire to help he decided to share a special power he has. He hopes that working together they may be able to bring a smile to more people that need it.
Valeria
VA: Mari Chavez
A new face around the bar, she looks nervous and upset. Something is definitely bothering her, but can you make her want to talk to you? Can you help her out or will she walk away with a frown?

Such a good game!! I love the concept and the writing is beautiful!! 💖💖 The characters are great and how the conversation happened was perfect and felt very natural!
Aw, I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for playing <3
I really enjoyed this VN! It gave a very cozy feeling! And I'm a sucker for the life advice in a bar aesthetic. I loved the writing and the art! And the VAs were perfect for their characters. I was genuinely curious and concerned about Valeria and was happy she was able to leave with a hopeful outlook.
Also the moment with the purr-fect puns... I laughed because I might like puns a little too much for my own good LOL
Congrats to your team on finishing NaNoRenO 2022!
