Great characters and an interesting world, but the story and mechanics are lacking.
The entire bartending schtick really doesn't add much since, with very rare exceptions, the most that will happen is a brief few lines about the characters telling you whether they like the drink or not. All it does is interrupt the dialogue which, for a dialogue-focused visual novel, really shouldn't be done without a compelling reason.
The story is also disappointing and felt unfinished. I legitimately didn't realize the game had ended until the credits started rolling because of all the plot points and characters still left dangling by the end. Immensely unsatisfying and sours much of the earlier parts knowing they wont actually lead anywhere.
