The game is about the owner of Wayfarer's Inn, a tavern in the fantasy land of Asteria and the patrons they meet along the way. The player must serve magical drinks and interact with adventurers who visit the tavern, including elves, vampires, vukakin, dwarfs, echoes, phantasm, meerfolk and so many more. As they talk to the various adventurers, they uncover more lore about an ancient threat which is rising in Asteria. Maybe they prevent the worst from happening, but this is up to the player. You walk into a tavern and get to work! You are the owner of the Wayfarer’s Inn, a popular watering hole in the fantasy land of Asteria. But you’re no ordinary barkeep. Be it a potion of seething fury or prancing swords, the drinks you serve can change your customer’s destiny forever. You can also turn the rumors you hear at work into intrepid quests for your patrons!
