Welcome, innkeeper.

You’ve just opened the doors to a cozy little tavern. Seat new arrivals, take their orders, run between bar and kitchen, and make sure everyone gets fed and supplied with Ale before they lose their patience.


The Core Loop

  • Seat parties as they arrive at the door.
  • Take orders (drinks first, then food).
  • Run the bar and pour an ale with a simple timing/precision minigame.
    • To tap Ale, go up to the bar and interact with E. Then pull down your mouse, to start filling the mug. The goal is to only fill the beermug to the green zone. So you must push the mouse back forward, to stop the tapping process. 
  • Run the kitchen: prep a pan by selecting ingredients, cook it on the stove, then plate the meal. Select the preptable to place a pan and then 
  • Deliver mugs and plates to the right tables.
  • Collect payment, watch your money climb, and get ready for the next rush.

Between Shifts: Build Mode

After the shift ends, you’ll get a quick summary of what you earned. From there you can jump into build mode (or skip straight to the next shift). In build mode you can buy a new table (200 coins) and move existing tables to optimize your floor plan.

Demo Scope

  • 1 drink: Ale
  • 1 meal: Stew (Meat + Veg + Salt)
  • 2-burner stove (cook two pans at once)
  • Top-down build view for quick placement

Controls

  • WASD: Move
  • Mouse: Look
  • E: Interact / confirm actions / exit stations
  • At the tap: Start pouring and control the pour (stop when you’re in the “good” zone) by pulling the mouse down and pushing it forward to control the flow. 
  • Press I to open a small Settings Popup

What This Demo Is

This is an early, playable demo focused on the moment-to-moment tavern workflow: seating, serving, cooking, pouring, and improving your layout. If you enjoy the vibe, I’d love your feedback—what feels great, what feels confusing, and what you want to do next as the tavern grows.


Already reported bugs: 

  • You can get stuck behind the kitchen door if you stand right infront and open it.
