How it feels

A cozy, lighthearted fantasy tavern simulator where you restore an abandoned inn with friends, cooking, questing, and exploring at a gentle pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the co-op tavern management and questing loop, but many suspect AI-generated dialogue and voice acting. Co-op has a specific inventory bug when friends join in the wrong order. The game is stressful for solo players, with a day/night cycle that feels too short and limited automation.
