Share Collapse

Author Comments

Help Rina collect one million gold by the end of the year to avoid having her soul taken to Hell!


--------------------

Controls

--------------------

Left Mouse Button to press buttons

Right Mouse Button to hide text box during cutscenes

Left Shift to skip dialog


Update 1.8.3:

- Fixed a bug that disabled training for the day if the gold was insufficient.

- Fixed incorrectly displayed supply requirement during winter.


Update 1.8.2:

- Wage has been greatly reduced.

- Starting income is now 20k gold.

- Rina starts at lv 3 in Maintenance; Mish starts at lv 3 in Bartending.


Known Bugs:

- Sometimes a button may not respond to clicking during the Business Phase. Open the save menu and save (or cancel with right-click) to fix the issue.

- Be careful not to click too quickly during the Business Phase as customer requests may disappear.


Tips:

- If you're stuck in the early seasons, pay attention to the Fireplace. Sometimes it makes sense to use it and sometimes it's better to leave it off.

- Taking risks is the smarter play. Try to get tavern upgrades as soon as possible to get maximum income per week!

Hey, I've seen this game before! J-Just more NSFW of course.

One of the best works if not the best work I've seen coming from this Dev! I've been hooked on trying all their other games after first being introduced to this one. The overall gameplay is intuitive as it is enjoyable, to the point it reminds me of a certain genre of H-games >////<. The art style and the music have always been a joy in all these games. The story of course was cute and wonderful all with a funny twist at the end.

But of course, there are some gripes that I do have with this game. Like how the difficulty curve drops the moment you enter the next season. You'll of course have trouble getting past it your first time, but the moment you learn the basics and learn what earns you the most the rest of the seasons end up being a cakewalk even with the added challenge of more salaries to pay. In the end, serving wine and meat ends up being the best option given its simplicity to make and how much money it earns. If only serving different food was a bit more in-depth rather than just being a direct upgrade in terms of profits. Lastly, I-I wish we could romance the characters, you truly are cruel Marckel for Yuri baiting us!!! ;~;

All in all, a great game!
- Intuitive yet enjoyable gameplay loop
- Lovely art and music
- Charming characters
- A funny and delightful story <3

I loved this game, the only thing I'd love to see is the tavern changing with the upgrades

Finally finished it.
Alright so it's a cute game, the actual strategy to win being (spoilers I guess) more about taking risks and stocking up early on to basically make you coast through the ending was nice. I kept trying to play smart and failing. Some of the scenes were cute, albeit saccharine and poorly written.
But the game was bad. I often started the business phase to find nothing worked. And if I had forgotten to save that week I was boned. Could only reset. I guess that's the result of making a business sim in RPG maker and using clicking boxes instead of the systems built into RPG maker.

Oh hey, secret ending.

Anyways, I don't know the technical side of it but I've seen plenty of RPG maker shop games that simply involve the walking, sales, and dialogue mechanics and they don't cause massive nonresponse bugs. They aren't as pretty to look at though since it's just top down sprites. So, not a very well made game.
Very good art, obviously. Handing that to you.

I guess this is more comment but is there ever an advantage to using the guild quests? I've mathed it out in most seasons and it always was a loss. Maybe my math was just bad though.

It's a great game, but the reputation points concept is just mystifying. How is possible to lose 3 reputation points to cheerful traveler asking for drinks while using a character with a bartending score of 6?

Marckel responds:

I have no idea either tbh. Probably a bug/miswritten formula somewhere.

Fun game, but man, Elwynn was a complete run-killer for me. Showed up with worse stats than Rin and ate 30 grand each week. Stopped my progress cold.

It would be great if we could fire people we don't need, or at least put them off duty to save some money.

Great job though! Had a blast until that dang elf showed up! ^_^;;;

Marckel responds:

Thanks for the suggestion!
