Long description

Keg & Crypt is a cozy management game about running a fantasy tavern the slow, proper way. Lay out the room on a grid, from the bar to the benches by the fire. Brew your own drinks by hand: mash the grain, let the kegs ferment over in-game days, then tap them and pour. Cook, serve, and keep the place clean.

Every guest is a simulated person with needs, tastes, a budget and a memory. They judge the wait, the price, the seat and the state of the floor, and they remember how you treated them. Bards, dice, darts and fireside stories keep them lingering.

Play alone or with up to three friends online, all sharing one tavern. And below the cellar lies a crypt older than the town, where the rarest ingredients and loot are found. The crypt is coming in a later update.

The story

After sixty years behind the bar, Uncle Barnaby Morel hands you the keys to his tavern, the Keg & Crypt. He stays on for your first opening to show you the ropes. Then comes the night the tavern burns, and in the morning Uncle Barnaby is gone. Whatever took him didn't come in through the front door. Rebuild the tavern, keep the town fed and watered, and find out what your uncle was keeping under the floor.
