Slime in the Ice Machine

About the Game

In the storage room of your dying father's dive bar in Houston, you discover a hallucinogenic slime portal that connects the world's greatest bars across space and time. But there's a problem: a fanatical local church is threatening to shut down the bar to make room for a sinister new project.

You nosedive into history, metaphysics, and vice, barcrawling toward supernatural revelation. When do strangers become family? And when family is threatened, how far are you willing to go to protect your own little piece of dirtbag heaven?

Layers of puzzles in every bar. Balance a pirate ship by reshuffling masquerade guests, rewire haunted slot machines to solve a decades-old massacre, untangle a ghostly polycule, decode the graffiti styles of 1980s Tokyo, etc, etc, etc

Acquire skills, then use them everywhere. Each bar teaches you a new skill: Bartending, Seduction, Gaming, Vandalism, and more. Skills change how you interact with the world. Seduce partygoers to learn their secrets, beat ghosts at an improvised card game with what’s in your pocket, bartend by collecting people's memories and crafting them into psychoactive drinks.
