Murder on the Rocks
Game Description
Murder on the Rocks is a Bartending Murder-Mystery game with a heavy focus on narrative. You’ve found a note that one of your regular patrons is about to be murdered, and it’s your job to stop it. Talk to Arnold, Barnaby, Ray and Sylvie, our cast of cryptid-esc characters. Everyone has a motive, and it’s up to you to decide who is capable of such a deed. The better your drinks, the more information you’ll get from the patrons. Some may reveal more than they intend, but be careful because you could end up doing the same.
