Cooking, serving and keeping the tavern running
You own an abandoned tavern and bring it back to life one order at a time. You cook dishes and mix drinks, set them out for visitors, deliver orders to tables, wash up, and pocket the coins. Between rushes you grow plants, breed animals, hunt and fish for ingredients, and learn new recipes.
You close the doors for a bit, gather mushrooms and fish outside, then reopen and work through the queue of hungry guests. Owl helpers take orders and clear tables once you unlock them. It is hands-on and repetitive in the calm way sim fans tend to like.
A small open world around the bar
The tavern sits in a cozy fantasy world with a small handcrafted map to explore. You follow story quests from amusing characters, gather supplies, fight enemies and monsters with different weapons, and find spots for fishing, hunting and farming.
You pick up a quest, walk out past the garden plots, deal with a few wasps or bears, and return with ingredients for the kitchen. You also decorate the rooms with furniture, rugs and paintings, and paint the walls. Play it solo or share the chores in online co-op for up to six people.
What else should you know?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. You can run the whole tavern alone, from cooking and serving to farming, fishing and quests. Sharing the work in co-op for up to six people makes the busy shifts easier to manage.
How do the owl helpers work?
Owls take on serving and cleaning tasks, which cuts down the running back and forth. You still do the cooking, gathering, decorating and questing yourself.
Is there much to do outside the tavern?
Yes. You explore a small open world, complete story quests, meet odd characters, hunt, fish, farm, breed animals, craft, and fight monsters. You can also wander and decorate at your own pace.
