Drink it Bitter
A downloadable game for Windows
Drink it Bitter is a short visual novel developed for the Spaghetti Invasion GameJam.
It draws you into a suspended world, where a simple cup of coffee can turn out to be more bitter than you’d expect.
Here, your decisions might leave you with an undefined aftertaste, as though reality itself were an echo answering unasked questions.
Perhaps you’ll find a faint note of hope… or maybe just a void at the bottom of it all.

I really appreciate the graphic style, but it’s not exactly a game — more of a digital story. It’s certainly enjoyable, but it’s not a game: all I have to do is keep clicking to scroll through the text, and nothing else.

Un'esperienza curata, intrigante, intima e da pelle d'oca.
Grazie mille! Mi fa piacere che il mood sia arrivato al giocatore
Ciao Jeco!
Ho appena finito di giocare al gioco.
Poco da dire, veramente un bel lavoro. Molto personale.
Il finale "nascosto" veramente un pugno nello stomaco.
Complimenti, veramente un bel gioco. Spero di vederne altri fatti da te.
Alla prossima.
Grazie Marius! Ho cercato di creare qualcosa che in primis potesse dare fastidio a me e provare a trasmetterlo nel gioco. Grazie ancora
Veramente un bel gioco con uno stile artistico a mio parere spettacolare ed una trama molti intrigante , EBRW63LQNRUW2ZLOORUSA2TFMNXS4===
