What to study

Drink service as a measurement exercise, played over the top of the shift it belongs to. The pouring minigame opens as a riveted steel panel in the middle of the sushi bar and states its whole rule in one banner: 'Pour So That About 20% Is Foam!'. Three taps with colour-badged handles run across the top, switched with the A and D keys whose prompts hover at the panel's edges, and the martini glass below fills in real time against three green markers on its rim, the acceptable band drawn where the player can see it. At the left, pinned like a ticket on a rail, is the recipe card: the same glass reduced to a diagram, a blue layer over a green layer between ruled lines, the target stated as a picture rather than a number. What makes the screen worth studying is that the panel never pauses the restaurant: beneath it the bar is still mid-service, Dave is still pouring for another guest, and the customers already served are delivering their verdicts in floating text ('It melts in the mouth!', 'Lovely stuff!') with pink hearts rising, so the minigame reads as one station in a working kitchen rather than a separate mode. Frame at about 1:04 in the DAVE_THE_DIVER_-_DIVE_IN_NOW_Trailer (Steam), manually extracted at 63.5s: the pouring beat is a single continuous shot of about 62-65s and the scene-change pass caught only its edges (candidates at 61.7s and 63.9s are the hand close-up and the dark interior either side of it). No publisher burn-in or watermark appears in this frame.

Screen inventory

• the metal-framed modal centred over the bar: a riveted banner at top with an 'S' key cap, a green down-arrow and the instruction 'Pour So That About 20% Is Foam!'
• three taps across the modal's top with round badges (blue, green, red), the blue tap open and pouring a teal stream; triangular A and D selector prompts float at the modal's left and right edges
• the martini glass in the middle, filled with pale green liquid and foam, three small green triangles marking target levels on its right rim
• pinned at left, the recipe card: a line drawing of the glass with a blue layer over a green layer and ruled measure lines
• below the modal the bar keeps serving: Dave pouring at left, a masked wrestler customer at centre, and at right three seated customers with floating lines 'Hmm... I like.', 'It melts in the mouth!', 'Lovely stuff!' and small pink hearts; a neon 'EAT DRINK LOVE' sign glows at left
