Tavern Keeper, a tavern-keeping RPG from the creators of Game Dev Tycoon, will launch in early access on November 3rd on PC. To celebrate, Greenheart Games released the game’s debut trailer.
Tavern Keeper is positioned as a blend of a fantasy tavern simulator and a witty RPG. The game’s role-playing elements are presented in the form of a magical book filled with short, non-linear stories.
Players will build and furnish an inn, hire and care for staff (they’ll help with cooking, cleaning, and serving guests), maintain adequate supplies, and get to know the locals.
The developers of Tavern Keeper warn that the dozens of intertwined gameplay systems (dirt, heat, noise, disease, fires, and a diverse clientele) bring a fair amount of chaos to the establishment that must be managed.
The story of a fantasy tavern owner has been in development for about 10 years, first announced in 2016. Tavern Keeper is finally entering the final stretch, with a Russian localization. Let’s hope this independent studio’s work proves worthy and receives the attention it deserves from players.
