## About This Game
Under the Counter is a narrative simulation in which you run a bar on a local
market. Your task is to solve the mystery of its missing people while serving
food and moonshine to both city residents and demonic forces from a parallel
world.

* Serve your famous stew and drinks to customers. Be careful to do it right so the payment is adequate.

* Help the locals, the resistance movement, and even the invading soldiers (at least the ones who are friendly!) by using your exquisite networking skills and natural charm.

* Test your senses and serve simultaneously. You know, like a good bartender who pours the pint while chatting up his guests.

* Immerse yourself in a wartime story with a supernatural twist. Surely Eastern European urban folklore is not something that you can experience in video games very often?

* Enjoy the alluring hand-drawn graphics and animations that reflect the strange atmosphere of the unfolding story.

You play as Vincent, an ex-sailor who started his stall with food and drink.
People still need to eat during the war, and you can cook the best stew
basically out of anything. To make things fancier, your second specialty is
home-made booze. [And in times like these, people drink a lot.] It is unique
not only because of its sheer alcoholic content but also in the way it is
served. Most people will drink just as a straight shot, but AT YOUR PLACE they
can mix it with cherry juice! Simple, but genius.

The biggest problem that interferes with your business is the Great War that
has started a few months ago. So, your city is now occupied, the enemies are
imposing their new order, and they don’t treat your people in a good way. But
by some strange twist of fate, they do seem to like you and your services. It
makes you the perfect double agent and you immediately start plotting with
your former friends from the military.

The war is in its prime and the enemy is omnipresent. But that’s not all. The
market keeps getting weirder. First, you hear about the disappearances. On top
of that, there are rumours about an odd military unit that has just arrived in
the city. Since the day you heard about it, you’ve kept having eerie recurring
dreams about a monstrous entity slithering in the darkness and gazing at you
with its many eyes. And your customers seem to become increasingly stranger
each day, not to mention that mysterious woman who carries a faint, yet so
easily recognisable scent of the sea…
