Bottoms Up!: Part 1

Bottoms Up!: Part 1 is a linear visual novel about Artheleron Hudin, a retired, immortal holy warrior who is drawn out of retirement to investigate a murder and clear his friend’s name. His friend is also an undead boy who needs his body back to be resurrected again.

Hudin’s story

Hudin lives in a small house provided for his military service, though it badly needs renovation. He has a veteran pension, enjoys as much alcohol as he likes and runs a secret trade with an old friend. Because of his immortality, he now drinks to live rather than living to drink.

When his business partner is accused of murder, the local authorities force Hudin to find his friend and deal with him. The game tells its story through hand-drawn visuals, subtle animations and a soundtrack that incorporates musical elements from Bulgarian folklore traditions.
