So the game is really fun, and I had fun playing it. However I feel like it wont take very much longer at all to finish the game and I have only played 2.5 hours with some friends. It needs more content. Also you can fill up the tavern with a ton of tables to get a ton of people. But the kitchen is only so big, you cant make the farm bigger, can only buy a small amount of animals before unable to buying any more, and the pass only can hold so many dishes. Also exploring is okay but most of the world is empty besides some monsters.

This game reminds me most of a certain custom sailing vessel survival/exploration game when I bought it in early access years ago. If the developer follows through and gets more content added, I think this will be a really fantastic game, just like that other game has become. My biggest suggestions to add would be: There is enough world for now. Focus on the tavern, furnishings, and new mechanics to make running it more interesting to operate. A reception desk and 2-4 guest rooms upstairs, which you can furnish yourself. Bonuses from decorations, perhaps a "tipping" system where customers pay a little extra. Integrate your time to take orders, and deliver dishes, with the tipping system. XP from the quest board, and slow down the incoming rate of quest board quests. Mechanics for aging brews that can take a few in-game days to increase their value by stepping them into higher tiers with a progression bar, perhaps slow down the very rapid brewing mechanics already in place. Some ability to customize and expand the farm. The ability to customize / expand the prepared dish shelves. NPC dialog. Even if they remain AI generated, more variety of greetings is badly needed.

The game is fun for what it is, but has tons of flaws. The flaws themselves won't prevent you from having a decent time though. If the developers work on refining the core gameplay loop, I could highly recommend this, but for now I'd say be cautious because the game looks great on the store page, though it has quite a few foundational holes that can easily be resolved later. I straight up despise not being able to close the back door of the Tavern, as well as not being able to name the tavern and making it feel more personal. In general, tons of QoL functionality is missing from this title, When customers make an order, there should be a wait time meter, wherein if you take too long, customers might get more frustrated or angry/ leave if you miss their service window. There is a service time in your status, but not a visible one on orders. Food can never spoil if left on counters, which I think is an odd choice and makes the gameplay weird but doesn't break the game in any sense( but could be a toggle option later on for players who want added difficulty). Another big one is receiving the quest for planting and cultivating crops, but being unable to purchase a hoe, until hours later due to how leveling works. The quest is there too early, or the hoe is locked behind too high of a level. The next main issue is inventory management needs basic functionalities you'd expect from a game like this, such as holding SHIFT and left clicking to auto sort stacks, or auto add stacks to recipes, etc. This game comes very close to scratching the management/ simulation itch that most of us have, and just needs a bit more love over time from the developers. This game will likely be a must buy restaurant/ management sim in the future

The game is fun and offers solid value for its price point, in general is an enjoyable experience, especially for fans of co-op games. However, the game feels somewhat shallow after a while. While initially engaging, it lacks the depth needed to maintain momentum. Adding mechanics like skill progression or more unlockable features could have given players more reasons to keep going. One of the major issues is the ease with which you can accumulate money and experience, making it feel pointless after a certain point. The gameplay then becomes repetitive and monotonous. Similarly, combat lacks challenge; both regular enemies and the boss are far too easy to defeat, which takes away from the excitement. It’s clear the game had potential to go further, but it feels like some key mechanics were left undeveloped or abandoned. Despite its simplicity, I still recommend it for a relaxing and fun co-op experience—just don’t expect it to hold your attention for too long.

I just want to get this point out there first, I have read the negative reviews. The world is empty? Yes it is a bit, but also remember that this isnt a 60 dollar game where you have quests in every town like Skyrim. The main premise of the game is to get your tavern up and running, Its an indie game and for the price of £15, its still great Very chilled out environment, art style is great too. Game-play is simple and fun Game is even more fun with your friends I think its definitely worth the price *I do hope to see more updates and more being added to it because i absolutely love this game.* Some things id like to see : Beds to skip night time Add maybe 3 Bedrooms and make it an inn aswell Hire NPC Workers Make an outside area with chairs and tables would be cool
