FROM THE JOURNAL OF ENGINEER 001.

SUBJECT DRINK LOG
ENGINEER 001
OVERALL NOTES.
SYS | ADM

Each week, a new bar is available with new drinks that have some sort of effect on the drinker. Consistently, effects last 1-3 hours and wear off afterwards with the subject having a memory of what happened.

✧ Bars also contain beers rising in taste, with the first being quite bad. Thought that the beer from the Memory Island may cure poison. Others are just... beer.

EDIT: New drinks have been appearing in old bars; they've come from the dead. See notes for details.

EDIT: Drinks can be mixed to create unique effects. See secondary notes document for details.
