Not an illusion

Unique story-driven RPG and bartender simulator Bar Oasis gets new installment soon

Bar Oasis is a unique game on the App Store. It's both a bartender simulator and a story driven RPG.

On one hand, you receive orders from customers and then, using your memory or the recipes manual, you prepare the drink. You use touch and the gyroscope to do so.

On the other hand, you also need to listen to the customer's story and make choices that will influence the overall tale. And this is where the game shines as the writing is really excellent.

The personal stories told every day by your regulars really add to the immersion and, like any good book, you just can't wait to read more.

It also helps that the music, created by Nauts is fantastic.

To this day, three Bar Oasis games have been released including Bar Oasis, Bar Oasis 1.5 and Bar Oasis 2.

Well late last year Studio Corners Ultramarine announced a new episode called Bar Oasis 2: After Tastes. Given the name, this seems like a shorter story, like Bar Oasis 1.5, but I don't mind. I need more Bar Oasis in my life and it has been a long time since Bar Oasis 2.

If you are like me and absolutely can't wait, the soundtrack is already available and the game should be out very soon.

Meanwhile, Bar Oasis just got updated with some bug fixes, its first update in a long time, indicating that the sequel might be out soon.
