Magic Inn v0.753 - early access

Magic Inn is a cozy, magical twist on inn-management sims that mixes hospitality, relationship-building, and light RPG mechanics into a single charming package. You start with a humble inn and follow a step-by-step path toward a 5-star establishment - recruiting chefs, sourcing ingredients from farmers and winemakers, upgrading rooms and menus, and courting fame (and even royalty). Along the way the game layers in spellcasting, collectible magical items and creatures, and narrative beats of tragedy and redemption that give the progression emotional weight.

What sets Magic Inn apart is how it blends systems: run-of-the-mill management tasks (staff, menus, rooms) meet social simulation and emergent storytelling. You’ll befriend guests and staff to unlock resources and referrals, master spells to help with daily operations, and even serve friendly ghosts once you learn the right magic. There’s a playful moral grey area too - judges that determine your rating can be exposed or influenced if you want to take shortcuts - which adds choices and consequences beyond simple optimization.

Gameplay also includes conversation-driven card battles that simulate negotiation, persuasion, and attraction, adding a tactical, character-focused mini-game to social interactions. Customization is emphasized: your inn, menu, and staff can be tailored, and you’ll collect magical items and companions as you explore the world and expand your reputation. When you finally reach 5-star success the story continues, letting you shape the magical world you’ve helped create.

Who it’s for: players who enjoy slow-burn management sims with strong social mechanics, light tactical card combat, and a narrative thread. The mix of cozy inn-building and whimsical fantasy elements gives it a distinctive, relaxing vibe with moments of strategic depth.

Key features:
- Build a 5-star fantasy inn by managing menus, rooms, staff, and supply chains.
