About
You and your wife run a medieval tavern together, and how that marriage holds up is not decided ahead of time. The story gets written by what you do at the bar, not by a script waiting to unspool.
The setup is simple: a couple, a business, and customers who don't just drink and leave. Your wife has her own mind in this, and the tavern floor becomes the place where trust either holds or doesn't, depending on who's watching and who isn't.
Play is text-driven sandbox management. You handle the tavern day to day while keeping an eye on your wife's interactions with the patrons, and your choices push things toward one of several endings rather than a single fixed outcome. There's no hand-holding plot pulling you forward; you're left to see what the two of you turn this place into.
Changelog
- Changed
- Errands, the brewing bench and the night pass by waiting (1 / 5 / 15 minutes, Enter until done). Anything that needs you stops the wait.
- Dancing pays by how much she shows, at most half his purse, and tires her.
- A dirty taproom lowers how well men feel served, sends some back out the door, and wears on her mood.
- Her wit no longer grows from catching tricks.
- At night in the lodger's room, the pictures show his bed.
- When she is half bare or naked in the room, men now stare and remark on it, not only try more with her.
- New
- A wife on the "strays with your blessing" side asks you before she does anything, one step at a time. Yes lets her; no holds.
- Encyclopedia: the "?" button explains every number in the game.
- "Don't leave me alone": once men bother her while you are out, leaving during service asks her first.
- She cleans up fast after another man when she is hiding it.
- Her breasts have their own soreness.
- Enter, or 1 / 2 / 3, presses a lone "Continue".
- Patreon link on the title screen and in the Support panel.
- Fixed
- Browser translation (Chrome, Edge) works again.
- What you expect of her no longer wears off on its own after a couple of weeks.
- Resentment no longer rises from things you could not see.
- She no longer starts what she would refuse if asked.
- She no longer gets stuck in the kitchen, bathhouse, guest room or lodger's room.
- Passing out no longer ends the night; you carry her up.
- Proximity mode shows your own finds and results.
- Patrons outside the taproom no longer ask for drinks.
- "You watched and did nothing" no longer fires when you walked in on her.
- Lodger fixes: the back room and bookings. Sent up to look in, she now rarely ends up in his bed.
- A relative and a patron no longer share a name.
- Hides are a trade good, not a pot ingredient.
- Custom wives keep their look in scene pictures.
- Small wording fixes.
- Initial Release
