From the Steam store

Tavernhold is a single-player mix of daylight inn-management and nighttime tower defense. Build up a profitable roadside tavern, gather the resources you need, and hold the line when undead waves march on your gate. Guard the inn—if it falls, your fight is over.

Hire your workers to assign them where they’re needed most: gathering food and timber, constructing new rooms and tables, repairing defenses, or manning the walls when night falls. Feed travelers and rent out rooms to earn gold, then reinvest it into more workers, faster resource nodes, and stronger defenses.

Spend wood to add tables, guest rooms, spike traps, stronger gates, or new resource outposts. Decide what matters most before the night arrives!

A roguelike twist on every run.

Receive a random bonus at the start of each day that changes how you play.

As days pass, the chances of stronger bonuses increase, pushing you to adapt and plan ahead.

Design the battlefield your way.

Shape enemy paths, place defenses at key locations, and experiment with different strategies.

Watch your plans come together as each night puts your design to the test.

At night, place your workers onto the walls to shoot the enemies and take direct control of a giant ballista. Slow the undead horde with spike traps, pierce clustered enemies with well-placed bolts, and keep your enemies away from breaching the gate—too many slip through and it’s game over!

Advance through a branching research tree to strengthen your inn and defenses. Upgrade your rooms and tables to earn more gold, empower workers and traps for stronger defense, and enhance your ballista with new arrow types to hold back the undead army!

Unlock special arrow types and craft them for battle. Explosive bolts tear through clustered enemies, while frost bolts slow the horde—stock up and fire them at the perfect moment!

Every few nights, powerful bosses lead the undead army to your gates! Defend against them with upgraded defenses, crafted arrows, and careful worker placement.

Master the daily rhythm of gather-build-serve, then withstand each night’s siege to keep your tavern from falling!
