This was a fun game! A nice amount of BL flirting, good humor and quips, and I even learned a bit more about the Prohibition and other facts. I loved it!!

I first played this in 2021, but I didn't finish it at all and kinda just started the game, but I'm pretty glad I continued it now!
The story was pretty interesting. It's simple, but entertaining! I love how Leslie always fusses over Richter, that kind of dynamic—with the fussy boss and calm and exasperated junior—is always a 10/10 for me, AND I also love Meyer because I JUST LOVE HOW SUAVE HE IS, HELPPPPP (╥ω╥`)
I do recommend this! It's also free, so YEAAHHHH

It is what it says on the tin, a gay VN. It is free and has a certain charm to it for me, reminds me of the OKKO dating sim games I used to play on my phone in elementary and high school.
It is a quick game, I just played through it in one sitting but it is free and adorable and I love it. The music is great and it does whatever it can with its limited assets
I like the little trivia tidbits if you have the dictionary on, I love the chemistry with Meyer and the MC is fun! Not as much of a fan of Leslie, but not hateable or nearly as icky as some love interests, just not my cup of tea in comparison to Meyer.
Warm and delightful writing and I think it's worth a play or two

a short game that's free! If ya need more info, then sure I'll do some typing.
One, love the three main characters: Richter, Leslie, and Meyers were a delight to read in this short VL. Though my heart was sold on Meyers......man can have my soul once he broke the whiskey out.
It is easy to get all achievements in the game and it takes less than an hour to do so. So it ya wanna add another game to ya "100% completed" flex list, this one is a go.
The only downside to this I suppose is that the game give you the feel that you'll be solving the mystery of the underground booze world and that sadly falls flat. If anything, this game seems like a good prologue for a fully flesh version of this game......that's not gonna happen. Because this is all we're getting from what I can dig up.
But, if you can get past that and like a cute fluffy VL type game. This is ya cup of tea.

I've seen this game long looong ago, and we're talking 2019-2021. But I never thought about it that much until my friend talk about this game out of the blue, we both have a thing for old fashioned eras and thought a gay romance in the prohibition era is interesting. Tho im not sure how to feel about the implied poly ending, it left me wanting more pls pls pls continue this story.

I haven't played many romantic stories in my long lists of games, but this one is an absolute historical delight. It was adorable, simple, yet had the perfect balance of modern romance to period time piece. The glossary for the older fashioned words was a brilliant idea. My heart goes out to this game and if all love game stories had this much work and care put into them, I would never leave. Amazing. Love it.

A short but wonderful game.
The artwork is lovely, and I love that it's short because I could finish it in one sitting. Both love interests are intriguing and I don't mind that you have to play both routes to get the full story.
Would recommend!
