You take charge of a tavern in Delcrys, a fantasy kingdom, and develop it into a business that serves travelers and other guests. You design and expand its rooms and facilities, choosing the layout and furnishings.
Daily management includes hiring and overseeing staff, stocking supplies, preparing food and drinks, and creating recipes. Different guest groups have their own needs, so service, facilities, and menu choices shape the tavern’s operations and reputation.
Sandbox mode focuses on building and running the business, while Campaign mode adds quests and a story involving political conflict and important figures in the kingdom. Campaign choices lead through a branching narrative, while an in-game editor lets players create campaigns, scenarios, and adventures.
In this selected sample, players who enjoy the game often value designing and expanding their own tavern, managing its staff and business, and following its campaign story. Some also praise its atmosphere and the variety of guests and management systems. These positive points are frequently tempered by reports of bugs and confusing systems.
Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim set in the immersive fantasy world of Delcrys. Players must build, manage, and expand their tavern, catering to the needs of adventurers from far and wide.
With improved pathfinding, AI, engine performance, and UI, this edition brings two unique game modes, offering different experiences for both casual and hardcore gamers.
In Sandbox mode gamers will focus solely on managing their business and economy – to build their very own tavern, hire and oversee staff, manage the supply chains and create new dish recipes. In Campaign mode, micromanagement is just a prelude to a rich story as the kingdom is in turmoil and a shift of power is expected. Your Inn will soon attract the attention of important political and military figures, who are desperately trying to hold on to the reins of power. Gamers will become part of a large-scale drama full of political intrigues, vivid characters, treacherous NPC’s and dangerous quests inspired by RPG games – You will even have a damsel in distress to save!
