Travellers Rest (Early Access v0.7.1.0) is part tavern sim, part bootleg Stardew Valley , part sandbox RPG. It has some clunky mechanics, some missing features, and no real roadmap as far as I can tell, but none of that matters because the single-player gameplay loop is catnip. What Works For Me ✅ Art + World Design. When solo dev Louquo launched TR in 2020, it looked… rough. In early 2021, Louquo passed the project to Isolated Games, which decided to "redefine the scope of the game" (remember this for later) and started redrawing Louquo's original assets and adding new decor. Over time, the pixel art has evolved into something truly beautiful; the world feels alive with color and movement, and the town keeps expanding. ✅ Brewing + Cooking. All I want from a tavern sim is to brew my own ale and cook my own food, and TR delivers both in timed multistep processes; for example: harvest rye > turn rye to toasted malt > ferment with ingredients > age appropriately > dark lager. As a bonus: most recipes allow substitutions, so you can use what you have on hand or create the vegetarian restaurant of your dreams (warning to animal lovers: tutorial requires mop-murdering a few rats). ✅ Building + Decorating. There are plenty of decor items (more if you participate in seasonal events), but it took a long time to start expanding and adding rooms. While I was initially frustrated by how expensive and resource-intensive both building and decorating are, it's a goal to work toward in an otherwise directionless sandbox. ✅ Character Customization. Options and colors are limited, but you customize your character's appearance and can change details at a wardrobe. As you upgrade your tavern, you unlock perks across management, crafting, and resource skill trees that can affect everything from your speed to income. ✅ Crafting. All crafting is automated, often multistep, and uses resources in storage provided that the storage chest is in the appropriate zone. ✅ Gameplay Loop. TR is a sandbox; you don't have to farm or fish or mop-hunt if you don't want to, but all of these mechanics feel satisfying to engage with if you enjoy farming sims. You can spend your day tending to crops (until you unlock irrigation), visiting town, mining for ore, chopping trees, foraging the full map for materials, and/or stocking your crafting machines. There's no stamina bar to hold you back. ✅ Tavern Management. At the same time, everything in TR is focused on your tavern; the tavern is your sole source of income, and improving the tavern's reputation is the only way to gain new skills or recipes. Thankfully, TR capitalizes on everything I love about restaurant sims: time pressure, overlapping demands, changing demands, diminishing supply, upset customers -- it's so good. Hire employees with their own traits and skill trees, or dash around like a headless chicken. What Doesn't Work For Me ❎ Inventory. Your character starts with a fully upgraded backpack plus a toolbar, which is awesome, but: new items transfer directly to your bag even in the tutorial, and decor needs to be in your hotbar to place. As a result, inventory and decorating feel clunky and fiddly -- especially with a gamepad. ❎ Relationships . There's a relationship panel "coming soon" in your UI, but the NPCs are props; you need to chat with Wilson and Hikari a few times, but everyone else is set-dressing with repetitive dialogue. This works for TR, but it's atypical for farming sims. I understand why the devs want to add it to the game but, when added clumsily or as an afterthought, relationship requirements can be an absolute turn-off. ❎ Story . In a similar vein: the prologue added in v0.6.5 lays out some strange lore and suggests an overarching plot, but that's the last hint of a story I've seen in my 2+ game-year campaign. The introduction feels more and more out of place as you progress, and I worry that similar attempts to shove a narrative into a game that wasn't built around one will feel equally ham-fisted. Final Thoughts + Recommendation I love fast-paced restaurant management, crunchy farming sims, and a good sandbox to play in, so Travellers Rest was basically made for me. I'm trying to be objective in this review, but most of my complaints are hypothetical because I love this game. My biggest concern is scope creep, so I hope the devs have a clear goal and polished story in mind. In its current form: I highly recommend Travellers if you enjoy Graveyard Keeper , sandbox games like Project Zomboid , farming sims that require a bit of resource management, and/or general restaurant management. It's great. It's also grindy, repetitive, sometimes stressful, and requires you to set your own goals.

I had to refund, not because I don't like, but because of lack of accessibility. I cant 'tap' over and over. There should be an accessibility to toggle an action to complete (like chopping wood, mining, etc). Hit me back when this option becomes a thing.

As of this writing, Dec 24 2024, the game is in a pretty good state. There's still a good amount to go, but it's enjoyable as is. Like most people have already said, it's an iteration on the Stardew Valley / Harvest Moon formula, but with running a tavern. If you just want to know how strongly I recommend it, I give it a solid 4/5. You do farming, but it does it better than Stardew in my opinion. There is no stamina meter. You can do as many actions in a day as there is time to do it. There's also automated irrigation, sort of. You fill up a trough, and it waters your plants for a few days, so you don't have to do it every day. You start out the game running the tavern yourself. You make the food, serve the drinks and clean up after people. Eventually you can hire employees that help to make serving the customers easier and more efficient. Growing different crops and making different meals is incentivized more than Stardew. In Stardew, you just grew crops and could make meals out of them, but there wasn't much reason to do that other than a few gifts here and there. In Traveller's rest, the customers will reward you with greater reputation the more diverse your menu is. The more reputation you get, the faster you level up in your tavern and skilltree. You have employees that you can hire to run the tavern for you if you like. If you want to really bring in the cash, you will have to hire employees. They all come with 1 negative perk and 1 to 3 positive perks. You can just hit 'open tavern', and they will run it for you until you close it, with no intervention from you, as long as you have all 4 types of employees. That is really nice because it means I can go farm or make stuff in the kitchen while they take care of the customers. The other thing I really like about it is that it feels like it scales really well. You gradually work your way up to selling more and more products, and farming more and more things at a time. I don't ever feel like I'm short on money to buy stuff, so that I can make stuff, so I can get more money. If I am a little short products to sell, then I can always just leave the tavern closed so I can do some more farming and cooking until I have enough products to sell. Right now, there isn't really any social interaction to speak of, but that appears to be on the roadmap for future updates. If you want a chill game where you farm crops, make food and make dolla dolla bill, then this is probably the game for you.

Beware that, while enjoyable overall, I wanted to make a PSA that there's a solid 2-3 hour unskippable tutorial at the start of the game now, and you aren't allowed to start co-op until after the tutorial is over. Meaning, one player gets to sit there and watch a _tutorial,_ made even worse by the likelihood that the two players are using different control schemes and player two will have to learn a different ui all over again. Most of this three hour tutorial is visual novel text box lore dumps, grinding for materials, and waiting for farmville timers to tick down, and most of it could easily be thrown out. Only start a new game in co op with someone if you have a long chunk of time to commit, and the second player has the patience to sit through the introduction.
