Absolutely fantastic :)!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Any plans for mac version in the future?
There are both mac and PC versions available on the game page https://dirchansky.itch.io/come-for-a-drink !
Somehow I kept getting the Ending 9 and I can't figure out why.
Do you have something like a guide?
Hi there, there are some hints on this post https://itch.io/post/623422; I don't officially have a guide, but feel free to respond to this comment again if you want more specific direction afterwards! Essentially all ducks need to be in a row in order to get the appropriate endings...
Cheers!
Any plans for Android version in the future? :)
Gostaria que colocassem uma tradução para português-Brasil (PT-BR)

I really love all aspects of this visual novel. The art? . The music? So soft. The voice? . The various endings??? I LOVE, especially ending 7.
Thank you so much for bringing this game into the world!!

Let me start off by saying I adore this game, the art and voice acting are really cute ;w;
but oh man. I cannot for the LIFE of me get the other endings. I got 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9, but can't figure out the rest ;_;

YEAAAAAH COMPLETIONIST RUN BABEY!!!!!!!! I got them all, thanks for your help!!!! And thank u for making this game, I enjoyed it a lot!!
side note fung sounds like mccree and i love it
Nice!! Congrats and thanks for playing through it all!!!!!!! Ahh I went and listened to McCree's voice and I can see what you mean! Fung is voiced by the very talented Bradley Gareth http://bradleygareth.wixsite.com/bradleygareth
I absolutely loveeeddd this game and was really excited to play this with my friend. But it seems like the ending is glitched and no matter what I do i get the same ending.
I hope it gets fixed if it is an issue cause I'd love to see the other endings too :o
Hi Barrelcat!
Thank you for your kind comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed your playthrough! I've had a couple of other folks tell me that they've successfully obtained more than 1 ending; are you using the mac or PC build? I'll play test it on my end again to double check for this glitch/error! Which ending are you landing on over the over again? Is it ending 9? The other possibility is that you may have not chosen the "appropriate" combination of choices during your play through (it's pretty specific), and if you want, I'm happy to give you hints/pointers re: how to get the other endings :)
I put in a screenshot to show you what I mean.
Hi there! It is completely normal to not be able to select the drink on the last visit; the final drink is automatically chosen for you based on the previous selections you made in the game. The game logic was designed this way, so please don't blame yourself!!
I'm going to post some hints below (if you want to read them) and hopefully you get to the other endings soon!
That's all for now :) Happy to reveal more if you are still having difficulties! Thanks for bringing all of this to my attention!
I played through the whole game and had a blast! I laughed a lot, like so much, and the voice acting is great (and a plus for someone like me who has the bad habit of not taking the time to read) I love all of the characters and highly recommend everyone play this game!
I recorded my first run of the game and I hope my reactions shows how much I enjoyed Come for a Drink!
OMG thank you for your comment!! I feel blessed that you took the time to play the game *and* record it for a live play!!!!!! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game!!!!!! I also appreciate your own self narration for the main character during the video hahaha <3! To be honest I can't pronounce a bunch of the drink names either LOL...
