Hey everyone!

We’ve opened a Single Player Playtest for Barfender. If you’re seeing this, it’s your chance to be officially behind the bar a little earlier than everyone else.

This playtest is focused on the core single-player experience:

  • Running the bar

  • Handling customers

  • Managing chaos

  • Seeing how everything feels moment to moment

Balance, pacing, controls, and overall flow are all very much work in progress.

What we’re looking for

Just play naturally and share your thoughts.

Let us know:

  • What feels fun

  • What’s confusing or frustrating

  • What feels surprisingly good

  • What feels missing, too slow, too hard, or “this could be way better if…”

That kind of feedback is incredibly valuable to us.

Bugs are expected in this version. Feedback and ideas will really help us shape Barfender’s future. In this playtest, you will not be just testing the game. You will be helping decide what Barfender will become.

If you feel like it, you’re more than welcome to record gameplay, share clips, or even stream the playtest. We love seeing how you play chaos included!

Now grab an apron and enjoy the shift 🍻
