Description

Build and manage your own tavern in this charming fantasy business sim. Dive into every detail or relax and decorate to your heart's desire. Upgrade your tavern and navigate light-hearted tales of unlikely heroes as you play the most important role of all: the Tavern Keeper! Tavern Keeper 🍻 is a detailed business management simulation, a creative decoration sandbox and a bite-sized interactive story book in one. Your role is to manage a tavern, building, bartering, cooking and cleaning your way to success in a humorous fantasy world. Starting out with a shell of a tavern in the backwaters of the kingdom, you build rooms, place items, stock the larder and hire staff to satisfy the demands of the oddball locals that stumble through your door. Run your business well and you’ll progress to larger taverns with more demanding patrons where you’ll need to expand your offerings to include new meals, drinks, rooms and services.

History

Tavern Keeper is the second game by indie devs Greenheart Games 💚 - creators of Game Dev Tycoon and has been nearly a decade in the making.

Boilerplate
