What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Pub Sim has reached a pinnacle point where it has created the foundation to how the rest of the game will play, from this we have a planned vision of how Pub Sim should look, however we like to work from player feedback. This way we can get to completion in a much greater state and we feel that Early Access is the perfect way to get there.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Once all our planned features are in-place plus the most immediate community suggestions we'll be happy to consider this as 'fully released'. We're very conscious of feature creep and therefore the more ambitious ideas will be worked on afterwards to prevent a long EA cycle.

Based on this and the development time we've so far accumulated on Pub Sim, we can expect this will be achievable within 6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to make regular updates to the following areas:
  • Increased Customization options
  • Improvements to early, mid and late games
  • Extra realism in all possible areas
  • General quality of life + bug fixing

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Pub Sim is in a stable state that gives the player our core gameplay:
  • Cleaning
  • Drinks serving
  • Staff Management
  • Stock Management
  • Economy 1.0 - Our first iteration to how money is earned and spent

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, we don't agree with FOMO practices, therefore the EA and full release will share the same price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We're strong believers that involving the community on all levels of development is a recipe for success, we like to remain super transparent about our plans and we heavily encourage our fans to air their opinions, the good and the bad.
We keep a close eye on the forums but if you want more direct interactions then the best place is our Discord: ”

About This Game

Welcome to Pub Sim, this is where the trials and tribulations of running your very own tavern come alive. Will you spruce it up to be the hot-spot of the town? Or become a dive bar catering only to the outcasts of society.

Your customers won't appreciate a dirty premises, get cleaning to really bring the shine out of those dusty surfaces.

Reinvest into the building to expand further, purchase furniture to increase customer retention and manage prices, each aspect will directly affect your; reputation, efficiency and overall aesthetic of your Pub.

Keep your stocks high, you'll need everything from the cheapest to the most premium if you're going to satisfy your customers, or perhaps branch out into Wines and Spirits for added challenges and rewards.

Carefully pour your drinks, each drop will be another cut into your margins.

Running a Pub can be hard work, why not kick back and have someone else do it for you? Be warned though, they can't do everything and you'll still be needed for top business decisions... Just try not to bankrupt yourself with their wages.
