The game features a sandbox mode that allows you to create and tweak your dream tavern, and a campaign mode where you’ll also need to navigate the political intrigue of a kingdom in turmoil. You can check out a trailer above.

Crossroads Inn is available on Windows PC via Steam and GOG for $19.99.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim with role-playing games elements. The game consists of two unique modes offering totally different experiences.

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!
