About This Game

So Genghis Khan, Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Einstein walk into your roadhouse one night, all thirsty. Who’s going to become a regular? You can only choose one! Albert has a nice bottle of rosé, but Abraham has some lime mix that’d make you a mean margarita. Genghis on the other hand... if you don’t serve him, he’s liable to start breaking stuff -- starting with your face!

Welcome to The Fog’s End: a roadhouse in an alternate dimension where there are many thirsty travelers. In this strange place, every night a fog bank rolls through the land. Here the fog bends worlds together, and makes you forget who you are. Lost in fog, misfits and lost travelers wander through infinite possibilities. The Midnight Train from some other place stops here, every night. These travelers will come to The Fog’s End, a beacon in the mist: looking for friends, looking for forgotten memories, and a well-made drink.

Stock the Bar, Save the World




Most folks in this world are friendly, but not all of them. You have thirty days to prepare for the end of the world. It will take all your skills and a hell of a perfect signature cocktail to appease the OMEGA CRITIC, the weird being who owns this dimension. If you don’t make the cut, you get cut; your reality phased-out into the fog and mistified.

No two games play the same way, as different travelers find you in the fog every night. Each night's travelers include one VIP guest. VIPs are vital for your bar-stock. Each can be sent on quests for booze, ingredients and beverages in the realities you visit -- if they have what it takes to make it back in one piece.

Advanced LLM AI-powered Patrons




Some of your guests are going to be famous. Socrates. Maurice Rocket Richarde. Cleopatra. Some guests won’t be as famous, such as Ralph The Plumber.

Once a wanderer enjoys one of your fine beverages, they’ll decide to stay, and become a permanent fixture in your bar. You can even hire one of your patrons as staff. Maybe Seneca could work coat check, and Nikola Tesla be your handy-man, the choice is yours.

Dialogue is generated by a live AI using a simulated personality matrix, enabling near limitless possibilities! But please note: a network connection is needed for this feature.

Incredibly Advanced Bartending Simulation




No one ever bartended like this before, in gaming.

Each drink is a performance in The Fog’s End. You’ll need some good flair to impress your VIPs. Toss the glass, spin it, balance it on your arm. Pour it perfectly. And your ingredients have to be up to snuff to, as you have to roll a D10 for each one used, to get that important quality bonus.

24 kinds of beer. 24 kinds of wine. 100 different spirits. 99 different beverages and juices. 85 kinds of sweeteners, mixes and syrups. No game has ever had any bar anywhere near as stocked as yours, in the roadhouse.

Infinite Cocktail Design


Utilizing an AI-powered Signature Cocktail designer, the amount of drinks you can create is almost endless. Only have some lime juice, maple syrup and gin? Don’t worry about it! Our AI will come up with something!

Only the Best Cocktail Can Save the World!

Improve Your RoadHouse, & Manage a Band


As the days go on, you’ll need an increasingly better ambiance to entice fog-wanderers to stop by. Through your staff, you can spend money on upgrading your roadhouse: show lights, plants, seating, appliances, and a VIP room for your most famous guests.

And what would a roadhouse be without a house band? Sometimes musicians will pass through the fog, and find their way to one of your famous cocktails. Recruit them to your house band, and hear what other-worldly music they come up with.

Cool It!




Rule number one for your roadhouse: always try to be rice.

Rice is flexible. Rice is easy-going. Rice is nice. You always try to be rice. But sometimes, being rice just won’t cut it.

If push comes to shove, you’ll have to deliver an occasional beat-down to keep the unruly guests chilled and reasonable.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

RoadHouse Manager includes pre-generated content (images, videos, and music) made with AI tools.

In-game, RoadHouse Manager generates dialogue, text and cocktail recipes through the use of our own in-house LLM AI-Cloud, according to your character types of your patrons to the roadhouse.

Note, there is no direct prompting (user typed prompts or keywords) utilized for the in-game text generation, and the generation happens automatically, according to our textual content generation system.

There is no additional charge, hidden fee, subscription fee or on-going charges for this AI-cloud component of the game.
