About this game

The city's neon bleeds into the rain-soaked night. You push open an unassuming iron door and step into Dark Tide.

The bartenders look up. Rei, the bunny-eared greeter, winks at you – her military-grade cyber-legs gleaming coldly under the bar lights. Orion sets down his whiskey glass, his tactical eye's amber reticle slowly rotating, as if calculating your next move.

You sit, order a drink. They don't hand you a menu. Instead, they slide over a row of empty glasses and a few bottles of base liquids – red, blue, green, gold. Clear fluids waiting to be combined. You carefully pour one into another, trying to reconstruct the perfect layered recipe from memory. Pour right, and a masterpiece emerges. Pour wrong, and the mixture turns muddy – the bartenders will tease you and urge you to try again. Pouring and sorting sounds simple, but it asks for your full attention – every drop's speed and angle matters.

But Dark Tide is more than just mixing drinks.

Push open the hidden door at the back of the bar, and you'll find the bartenders' secrets – their pasts are as layered as the drinks they serve. Some were the city's fastest couriers, others fled corporate empires with classified data. Chat with them, win their trust with gifts, unlock fragments of their photo albums, piece together who they really are when the uniform comes off. They'll also throw quizzes your way – cocktail history, liquor origins, cyber-city trivia. Answer right, and their respect for you deepens.

Come back when you're craving another pour. Come in when your soul needs a pause. Dark Tide never asks where you're from. It just slides a glass your way and waits for you to finish it.

Pour at your own pace. Piece together their stories.

Dark Tide – beneath the calm surface, every drink has a current.
