Nothing In A Bar by veer

[raw]
made by veer for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Start with 'Nothing In A Bar'.

Description:

A slow-paced Dialogue/Action based first person-view game where you talk to a bartender and do actions. Different actions lead to different outcomes, the game has NINE different endings, with each ending having its own Plot-twists.

Personally, The "Get up & Check out the bottles closely" has the best ending. ( But not for the faint-hearted )

Each Game-play session lasts for about 1-2 Minutes, Different 'dialogues' do not affect the ending, Different 'actions' do.

Controls:

Mouse to click dialogue box/action button.

Use HEADPHONES for best audio experience. All Audio From https://freesound.org/. Removed Audio Rating as I do not own audio.

Could not upload a HTML version as post-processing doesn't work properly in a Web Build.

I need some of that good stuff. After the game jam some nothing-ness would be good right now :P

Cool animations, I enjoyed the global atmosphere of the scene. Great visual effects after my second glass of nothing!

@mad-brokli haha, happy to serve you, do come back another time! :pp
@theog Thank youuu! I was aiming to give the players a good 'mood' feeling with the atmosphere.
@skalex I'm gonna be playing & rating game for the next 2-3 hrs so that will help more people to see & check out my game, Also the dialogues were not as humour-ish as I had initally planned. :(
@daniiln, Yes that would be a good idea considering the repetitive-ness.

So many endings! The game is fun to play and I like the fact that it is very short instead of stretching the game length.

@bilalch213 yup sadly it gets boring to do the dialogues again and again but hopefully the different endings are worth it, thanks!

Love the mood you set in this game. I played it about 6-7 times and I don't think I've emptied out all of the options yet. Really enjoyed the sense of humor and the different endings. Awesome job!

Fun atmosphere and sense of humor. Selling nothing must be a pretty good business model if you can find a way to get people drunk off it.

Funny game. The graphics were maybe a bit rough around the edges, and the grammar left a bit to be desired, but in a way I think that added to the overall charm of the environment. Games with branching dialogue paths are something I am always fond of, so it was fun discovering all of the different endings that were available. Not sure if I got all of them, but I probably didn't miss much. :stuck_out_tongue: Nice work!

Nice! Got the happy ending :)
The camera movements were very smooth. Did you use cinemachine?

@karlipoppins I was looking to set a good mood with this game, I'm glad you liked it! haha I think you're the one first to play it 6-7 times!
@empty-set hahaha maybe in another few decade's times that would be possible.
@tpcool yeah I had some lighting issues and overall graphic settings, I actually had to kinda re-filter the dialogues but I was short on time and had much other things to do, so I let it be. Thanks for playing!
@slimabob Happy ending isn't so good tbh, there are 3-4 other better endings. Nope not cinemachine, just basic animations!
