Not everything is fine in the small mining town of Cinderbrook. The local distillery's whiskey has turned into a glowing poison, and the townspeople have caught glimpses of strange figures in the surroundings. Investigate the case and uncover the origin of these peculiar phenomena!
DESIGN AND FEATURES
The style and features resemble adventure games and role-playing games from the early 1990s. The main focus of the game is solving a mystery, but players will also face enemies in turn-based battles. You control only one main character, but during the game, you will encounter helpful characters who can join in the investigations and aid in overcoming enemies. The game is quite short, but the player's playstyle and choices will affect how the story ends.

Single Malt Apocalypse is out on Steam! It's a cosmic horror adventure game with RPG elements. It’s my love letter to old Sierra and LucasArts adventure games. Very retro 1990s style! In my mind it's something like "Zak McKracken meets Dragon Quest".
The story is inspired by classic tales in Amazing Stories and Weird Tales magazines. Most obvious influence is The Colour Out Of Space. I didn’t want to base this on Lovecraft’s mythos so I created my own. The more you explore the more you get to know about it, but it’s still just a glimpse in this game. I hope I can make a more polished sequel in the future.
The difficulty level of the game can feel harsh for some people. Reading the information the game gives to you is crucial. Especially the combat can feel punishing in the beginning if you don't have enough gear and allies.
I tried to make a very compact game. I didn't want this very niche little thing to overstay its welcome. The game takes most likely 4-5 hours. There's some optional content and branching paths. The ending is affected by the choices made during the gameplay.
