"I went down to the crossroads tried to flag a ride."
Publisher Klabater and developer Kraken Unleashed Studio offer a new
Gameplay Trailer for
Crossroads Inn, showing off the sandbox mode in this upcoming fantasy tavern
simulation that got its start through crowdfunding on Kickstarter. This will be
separate from the game's campaign, which is shown off in a previously released
Story Trailer. Here's
word on the game:
Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim with
role-playing games elements. The game consists of two unique modes offering
totally different experiences. In Sandbox mode gamers will focus solely on
managing their business and economy – to build their very own tavern, hire and
oversee staff, manage the supply chains and create new dish recipes. In Campaign
mode, micromanagement is just a prelude to a rich story as the kingdom is in
turmoil and a shift of power is expected. Your Inn will soon attract the
attention of important political and military figures, who are desperately
trying to hold on to the reins of power. Gamers will become part of a
large-scale drama full of political intrigues, vivid characters, treacherous
NPC’s and dangerous quests inspired by RPG games – You will even have a damsel
in distress to save!
’Crossroads Inn is our key game scheduled for release in 2019. We are die-hard
fans of management sims and RPG games in Klabater. We decided to blend these two
genres together in order to diversify our game and to add extra level of action
to this somewhat ossified genre.’ Said Michal Gembicki, CEO of Klabater. ’We
believe that many gamers who love classic sim games are also fond of old-school
RPGs. Both genres have great heritage but we still lack one game that
successfully mixes it together in a one tasty... dish (pun intended!)'
