About this game

You are one of the most anticipated successors to the influential Godmother. Recently, she entrusted you with running a bar in the Serenpt district. But she has set her condition—Within six weeks, you must prove that you are worthy of inheriting it. You are responsible not only for managing the bar, but also for handling Cheleamon’s Family affairs on her behalf.

In this multi-ending, choice-driven JRPG, you can customize your gender and sexual orientation, and form relationships with 9 love interests  through your decisions.

*********************Welcome to Tonight’s Special***********************

“The sea gave birth to the Egg, and from that Egg we broke free.”

 — The Origin of Life, Miston Library

 

Miston is a prosperous coastal metropolis. In this world, humans are born from Eggs laid in the sea.

 You were adopted by the Godmother of Cheleamon. Now, it’s your turn to prove whether you are worthy of becoming her successor.

 

Inside the bar, glasses and whispers.

Outside the bar, the struggle between the underworld and the law, and the city’s hidden currents.

Customize Your Identity × Free Romance

“You” (no default name)

Customize protagonist’s name and pronouns (They / She / He).

You will also decide your sexual orientation and the name of your bar.

 

Your choices will shape both your path and the lives of those around you.

Create relationships with 9  characters within a limited six-week schedule. Plan your time wisely.

What happens when the characters you’ve romanced run into each other? Perhaps a dramatic confrontation awaits.

 

Will you focus on running a successful business?

Compete for the Cheleamon Family’s inheritance?

Or help guide the development of Miston itself?

 

How you handle relationships—and how they change because of you—will define your six weeks in Serenpt.

 

Bartending × Mafia Management

 Mix base spirits and ingredients according to customers’ requests—or subtle hints.

Use your shaker to craft classic cocktails like Sunrise, Godmother, and Mojo.

 

Through conversations and the stories others share, you’ll gain inspiration to create exclusive house “Specials” that can only be tasted here—attracting more customers.

 

Unexpected events may arise. Different solutions will lead to different outcomes.

 

 

9 Romanceable Characters

 Each has their own identity, stance, and desires.

 

Develop relationships with them. Invite them to help at your bar and make use of their unique abilities.

Whether you can meet Godmother’s expectations may depend on a night when you all work together.

 

As you grow closer, your own abilities will improve. Fitness, study, talk, learn, and grow.

 

While they influence you—how your decisions will shape their futures?

Multiple Locations to Explore

 Bar, shops, Miston Library, Urban Fitness, and more areas of Serenpt await you.

 

Study at the library to improve your “Education,”

train at Urban Fitness to increase your “Dexterity.”

 

Plan your daily schedule carefully—these abilities may help you when you least expect it.

 

What you raise is not only your stats—but your “position” within Miston.

 

Encounter different characters in different locations and uncover their deeper stories.

 

Multiple Endings & Branching Paths

 

After six weeks—

 

Will you earn enough Mafia prestige to become the rightful successor of Cheleamon?

 

Will you discover a talent for profit and transform into a business magnate?

 

Or will you do enough good to become a spiritual leader of Miston’s citizens?

 

Will you form one—or several—intimate relationships? When they need you, how will you guide them?

 

Make different choices and discover different futures.

 

Each character has two different endings, depending on your abilities and how well your bar is managed.

    The Mac playtest has officially begun! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45982409/ed926453c561ee27eec2bd3a912bf25e3f88cad2.png If you previously received access to the playtest, you can now start playing on Steam! Yes — this also means the full release version will support Mac as well ✨ Recommended Minimum Specs for Mac AMD Radeon Pro 560X / GTX 780 This playtest includes roughly the first hour of the game. Please note that the game is still in a very early development stage, and this build does not represent the final quality of the game. If possible, I’d really appreciate it if you could fill out the feedback survey after playing! If you encounter any issues or bugs during gameplay, feel free to DM me or contact me by email~ Thank you so much for your patience, bar owners 🍸 I'm really looking forward to finally meeting everyone on Mac! Please Note Due to how Steam handles playtests, it's not possible to enable only the Mac version separately. Because of this, Windows players can also still access the game normally during this period. However, there are no content changes compared to the previous version — this is the same build, now simply available on Mac as well.

    The First Closed Playtest for Tonight's Special officially ends today

    Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support and sign-ups…! I received over 3,000 applications, which completely exceeded my expectations 😭 But since this was still a very early small-scale test, I were only able to invite a little over 500 players this time (pain.jpg) Once again, thank you for taking the time to try this still very unfinished version of the game.🍸✨ ⏰ The playtest will end today at 23:59(CST). So if you received access but haven’t had time to play yet, don’t forget, bar owners~ During this test period, I carefully collected all the feedback, bug reports, survey responses, and DMs, and I’ve already started working through them one by one! The most commonly mentioned issues I’m currently prioritizing include: 🔴 Bartending gameplay feels too simple 🔴Progression and stat systems feel tedious Future improvements will include: ✨ More ingredients and drink recipes ✨More opportunities to freely experiment with mixing drinks ✨ Additional bartending techniques ✨ More signature cocktails ✨More diverse, variety and complexity customer requests ✨ Further improvements to voice acting, UI, interactions …and more! I hope that next time we meet, I’ll be able to bring you a more complete and polished version of Tonight’s Special. There will also be a public playtest later this year, and I hope you’ll continue supporting Tonight’s Special ✨ And finally — for Mac players! 🍎 The Mac version playtest is planned to begin on May 21 and will last for around two weeks! For everyone who couldn’t participate this time due to the Steam technical issues, we’ll finally be able to meet soon~ And please don’t forget to fill out the survey that appears after finishing the game!

    The playtest is now live!

    This test includes approximately the first hour of gameplay. The game is still in early development, and this build does not represent the final quality. I’d greatly appreciate it if you could fill out our feedback survey after playing! If you encounter any issues with your activation code or run into bugs, feel free to DM me in Discord. Notice Regarding Mac Players and Playtest Access Due to a technical issue, the Mac version is currently experiencing problems when running through Steam, and is therefore temporarily unavailable for this playtest. I’d like to clarify that the game itself is able to run on Mac. The issue is related specifically to the Steam build and deployment, and I‘m actively working on a fix. For players who have already received access: your playtest eligibility will be fully preserved — you’re just unable to participate in this round of testing. Once the issue is resolved, we will notify all Mac players to join the playtest. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.
