Travellers Rest

I’m obsessed with this game. It absolutely deserves a Nintendo Switch release — it has that Stardew Valley charm, but the whole tavern atmosphere gives it its own personality. I’ve been playing on my Mac and running it to my 65‑inch TV, turning the living room into a full‑on gaming lounge. The kids are all in on it with me.

A fun, cozy, medieval tavern simulator with so much more!

I would kill for the developers to add something like a automated sorting/filling station, otherwise 5 star, love the game.

TLDR; 80% collecting and crafting, 20% actual tavern operations I do recommend this game, BUT it's not what I had hoped it'd be. It functions well, it's moderately fun, but I feel like it fails in some aspects because it's trying to be Stardew, when it's supposed to be about owning a tavern. I like crafting games as much as the next person, but it feels like you do more crafting and resource gathering than actual tavern operations. On top of that, without mods, the gathering and crafting is horribly slow, with your walking speed being even slower. Yes, there are perks to upgrade your speeds, but not until a decent way in and not enough imo. I love the tavern management, from cleaning to serving customers, hiring workers, building the tavern, all the good things you expect from this game are good. But to do all of these things you're spending all day clearing as much of the map as you can to get resources, crafting so you can upgrade, or farming for supplies for your tavern. And don't get me wrong, all of these things work well, but they take so long you're barely in your tavern or you're skipping out on supplies you need to be in your tavern. Back when the game first launched I had really hoped they'd take the route where you could help fix up a town so you'd get more resources from the town. For example, a broken down lumber yard that needs help getting back on it's feet and then with your help is able to provide all the wood you need for a price. And to some extent you can buy ITEMS you need, but raw materials, for the most part, must be collected by the player. It just feels like another farming/crafting sim instead of a tavern sim for 80% of the game. And the collecting isn't anything special, you chop trees, plant crops, mine rocks like any other game. It's tedious and takes away from what you want to be doing: running/building your tavern. I get progression is needed, and collecting crap from all over the map is one way to do that, but there are other ways. It seems crazy that there are all these NPCS that are focused on one profession while the player is expected to work in ALL of the professions. Why have a farmer if I'm going to farm myself? Why have a carpenter if I have to collect all the wood to build myself? It just feels poorly thought out and like it's trying too hard to do what Stardew already did as well as can be. (Also, in Stardew you CAN buy raw materials) Also, the tutorial is too long for what it is, everyone has done all of the collecting and crafting before. The only real needed part is the basic tavern care, which felt like a very small part of the tutorial (unsurprising, with how 80% of the game isn't tavern care). I might finish this play through, it'll be my 3rd, but that's genuinely only thanks to the mods making the game less tedious. If you really like the collecting and crafting loop, you'll like this game. If you've done the collecting and crafting loop 1000 times and were hoping for more tavern keeping content, you might be a little disappointed. If you can make it to mid game, there's a little bit more, but by that point you'll have workers doing most of the tavern care for you, so you can spend more time collecting crap while your tavern runs without you. For the record, playing with mods that let me: Change or stop flow of time, change movement speed, change crafting speed, harvest/collect more items from all resources, increase stack limits, and lets you add fuel to machines in higher quantities. If it weren't for these mods, I'd have given up on my third playthrough, because it just feels like they're trying way too hard to slow down progression outside of the tavern because they couldn't figure out how to do it with the tavern. I won't down vote this game, it's not bad, but it could've been so much more. When it first dropped a couple of years ago I was really hoping for this beautiful tavern game, with notes of Stardew and the other bigs, thinking it could be one too, but instead its Stardew with a tavern in it where the farming isn't as fun and the player has to be a farmer, carpenter, miner, forager, crafter, lawn mower, and finally after all of those, a tavern keep.

one wrd to discribe this game fun

Fun business/farming/crafting sim. Feels similar to Stardew Valley (which I love) and the art is fun. I'm excited to see what the magic and social skill sections look like when they are released!
