About

You’ve managed to secure a spot for your new Inn. It might be the shady part of town but at least there are no annoying guards checking up on you. Manage your Inn by building rooms to serve and explore the patrons' various needs and interests. Hire employees to serve, cook, plant, clean, and much more. Hire Adventurers to explore dungeons and gather interesting ingredients for your next exotic recipe. The patrons need not know what's in that stew. Build training rooms for your Adventurers to improve their skills and equip them with runes enchanted to resist the various negative effects of the dungeon monsters.
