A cozy visual novel about running a tavern in a D&D-inspired fantasy! Gather rumors, serve magical drinks, and meet adventurers on a life-changing quest.
At the core of the experience, you step into the role of the owner of the Wayfarer's Inn, a popular fantasy tavern. This puts you behind the bar, interacting directly with the colorful cast of patrons who frequent your establishment.
A key mechanic is your ability to mix drinks for the tavern's visitors. Each character has a preferred beverage they enjoy, and you must select the appropriate recipe and ingredients to craft their ideal libation. While the drink mixing is relatively straightforward, the drinks can have magical effects that alter the patron's mood or behavior. This allows you to strategically choose the right drink to steer conversations in the desired direction.
As patrons share tales of their adventures, you can collect the rumors and information they provide. You then use this to construct quests, which are posted on a board for the adventurers to accept and undertake. Your dialogue choices and drink selections can impact the development and outcomes of these quests, adding a layer of consequence to your actions.
While interacting with customers is the primary focus, you can also customize and decorate the Wayfarer's Inn itself. Adventurers may return from their quests bearing trinkets and items that you can use to personalize the tavern's interior, further enhancing the cozy and immersive atmosphere.
Throughout the experience, your dialogue choices and drink selections can have significant consequences, influencing the individual stories of the patrons as well as the overarching narrative. The game features multiple endings, with your decisions potentially leading to diverse outcomes for the characters and the fate of the land.
