Run an immersive role-play game as a suspicious innkeeper, complete with stained apron, ready for gameplay but remember, the bloody marks on your apron might need a plausible explanation.
Step into the Shadows of The Weary Pilgrim, a dilapidated inn you've recently inherited. But don't expect a warm welcome – the patrons are a rowdy group of tomb robbers who, after witnessing your arrival, force you to take over the role of their innkeeper. Little do they know, you've already swiped a letter of ownership and were planning to seize the place anyway.
In this morally gray world, your duties extend beyond serving drinks andPreparing meals, as you'll find yourself eavesdropping on your ruffian patrons. If they let slip about their loot-filled forays into tombs, you might just sneak into their rooms for a nighttime heist. This gritty twist on the life simulation genre makes you question whether the rat meat you're serving is the only thing you're up to, and by the end of the tantalizing trailer, you're embroiled in a demon-summoning conspiracy.
"Innkeep" is set against the backdrop of a gold rush on tombs considered sacred by the local deities, providing you with the opportunity to recruit some of the shady characters that frequent the inn to form your own intrepid band of adventurers. Together, you'll unearth ancient secrets before war consumes your newly claimed territory.
There's something intriguing about playing a character who'd typically be a grimy sidekick, akin to Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale or Strange Horticulture. In his bloodstained apron, the new innkeeper of "Innkeep" is the perfect ignored NPC with a hidden past, just waiting for players to obsess over during a typical tabletop RPG game night, whether they meant to or not.
"Innkeep" is in the making, with regular updates on its Steam page.
