Final Arc
IFComp 2024 Impressions: Bad Beer is the Cozy Mini Mystery That Will Charm You
Bad Beer is a parser text game set in your unnamed player character's favorite English pub. There's just one catch: The booze has gone bad, and the owner Jack has asked you to crack the case. The gameplay uses standard text adventure mechanics but the story is where it gets interesting. As you crawl the pub looking for answers as to why the alcohol flavors have gone AWOL, you learn more about its history. And in Bad Beer, the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
