Early Access is almost here! Barfender launches into Early Access on October 12! Before the doors open, here's a big demo update packed with everything we've developed since our last demo update. 🍺 Bartending & GameplayBottles break! Throw or drop one hard enough and it'll shatter, leaving broken glass behind to clean up. Weight now matters: heavy objects behave differently, carrying them slows you down, and throws feel much more physical. Press G to quickly box up items and carry them away.

Hello!The new demo update we prepared for Barfender is now available to download on Steam. We have also separated our demo page, meaning you can now leave a review directly on it! Leaving a review would make us incredibly happy! Our new demo version includes fundamental optimization improvements as well as some new systems from our development process: New "My Bar" App: The bar's star rating and other statistics will now be tracked directly through this app, and star progression will be managed here. Decoration Score Update: Tables and chairs now directly affect the decoration score. Revamped "Menu" Interface: The menu app has received a much cleaner, more understandable, and user-friendly interface. Screenshot Mode: You can now take screenshots inside the game. We are sure you will create some beautiful wallpapers! We will bring much more comprehensive versions of these mechanics and all the new content to be added to the game to players in our upcoming Early Access release. Don't forget to add Barfender to your wishlist! -Proto Division & Rock Paper Publisher
