Not fun
This game is not fun. The interface is difficult to deal with - it took me ten minutes of random clicking to figure out what combination of mouse clicks where on the screen would actually build my first room. It's very difficult to see what stocks you have - there's no simple inventory screen anywhere, or at least not that I've found. Even in ideal conditions I am constantly both running out of food and running out of money so I can't buy more, which I don't understand. The "Rockburry' character keeps coming by and hassling me over the legality of the business, which always prompts a conversation skill check, which I fail most times no matter what choice I pick, which then causes guards to come in and confiscate big chunks of the inventory. Which doesn't help the cashflow issues at all. I hire all the halfway decent workers I can find and half my customers are still constantly complaining about long wait times. Then they're also complaining about poor lighting and bad decor - and I definitely don't have spare money to cover that. Who would ever run a business under these conditions? I can totally understand throwing over the whole thing and running off to the woods to join the outlaws. I don't understand what the designers of this game thought would be fun about how they've implemented any of this. It's not fun at all. If you want to play innkeeper you're better off setting one up in Dwarf Fortress and nerding out in there. I haven't had any crashes or functionality bugs but I haven't gotten far into it. Definitely there are display issues (random colored static) with the road and the woods in the back.
Is this helpful to you?
