About This Game

Raise your sign, light the hearth, and pour the first ale. The Antler & Ale Inn is a cozy tavern-building sim set in a warm fantasy village — start with four tables and a cookfire, and grow into a multi-storey estate where a hundred guests feast, drink, and stay the night.

Lay every floorboard yourself. Paint the walls, cut the windows, hang the paintings, and place each table, chair, and chandelier — then open the doors and watch the evening unfold. Villagers, pilgrims, dwarves and knights wander in with their own tastes and tempers; your cooks, brewers, and alchemists keep the kitchen roaring while servers weave between the tables and the bard plays the room.

Key Features

  • Build freely — buy land parcel by parcel, lay floors and walls where you like, and furnish with hundreds of tables, seats, carpets, paintings, and curios.
  • Grow upward — add a second storey, build a staircase, and run an inn: furnished bedrooms earn lodging gold every night.
  • Feed everyone — meals from the cookfire, ales from the kegs, and glowing potions from the alchemy bench, each drawing their own crowd.
  • Hire a real crew — cooks, brewers, alchemists, servers, hosts, and bards, from a handful of helpers to a legendary staff of seventy-five.
  • Attune your tavern — magical décor carries Ember, Frost, Wild, or Arcane essence; a dominant essence blesses your prices or your guests' patience.
  • An unhurried climb — reputation only ever grows. Rise through nine ranks, research new comforts, take contracts, and become a Living Legend.

No timers to punish you, no rush to beat — just a steady evening trade and a tavern that grows at your own pace.
