From the very start, it’s clear this game is a true labor of love—and I absolutely adore it! Even in its early access stage, it’s already a delight to play.

The story instantly draws you in with its intriguing lore about the kingdom and the art of tavern/innkeeping, inspiring you to become the best tavern manager out there.

As for the gameplay, the mechanics are enjoyable and engaging. While there are some areas that feel slightly unbalanced or rough around the edges, it’s completely understandable given its early access status. There’s so much to do: farming, fishing, and even forging items to enhance your tavern’s decor.

The art style feels familiar yet beautifully executed, and you can even have pets like cats and parrots! Just look at my cat attempting to run the bar:

As far as completions go, it was enjoyable too, there was two achievements that did require some grinding but that added to the fun for me.

I’m genuinely excited to see where this game goes. There’s already a lot of exciting features in the works or partially implemented, like social interactions and magic systems.

I played this game for quite a few hours and unfortunately I have to say I am disappointed.

It sells the fantasy of owning and running a tavern and it does that actually quite nicely in the first few hours.
But at a certain point that just falls flat.
You will have employees who run the tavern for you and all you have to do is to run around outside and get ingredients by mostly farming or buying them, which becomes very tiresome very quickly.
I got this game to run a tavern. If I wanted to run a farm I'd play Stardew Valley.

Cooking is really bare bones. The only way to customize your recipes is "Is this a chicken steak or is this is a beef steak?". No way to add or remove ingredients or even create brand new recipes.

I read this was better when this was still a solo dev project but now that it's been aqcuired by a company all the cool stuff gets removed for the sake of streamlining. Well, I missed that party unfortunately.

I hope the new developers will listen and give this game some magic instead of making it into yet another Stardew clone with some different paint
