Really nasty slop.

Seems a lot like a disadvantage for solo devs that are in competition against organizations like this (8 devs of one organization and their friends quickly nominated this game and gave thumbs up, so it got a lot of visibility). Very weird game in many ways even for a s&box game. Also I expected something better and bigger than this when there's 8 developers

no idea how this got 10 nominations just on release. i also dislike seeing studio members reviewing their own game. sussy. boring simulator like any other. slow gameplay. no guide. only positive point for me is the graphics.

It's hard to select things or place items with the amount of triggers, half the times I want to place a glass I pour the keg instead, and with shorter customers I'm unable to give them their order unless I jump crouch on the register. The gameplay is just too hectic and unrewarding, literally every customer will try to steal from you, puke on the floor, flip a table, piss on the fire, or break the ceiling. And there's no way to stop them, so many times I tried kicking the dumb goblins but after taking my keg back they just walk out like business. Between fixing everything, cleaning the glasses, getting every order correct from impatient customers, I still finish the day full of 1 star reviews, I've never seen a 2 star review either, completely unsatisfying! Maybe it's because it's a game meant for multiplayer, but being alone and trying to do everything became more of a chore than fun. Also I generally dislike when games keep adding new mechanisms and requirements for me to do while keeping the reward the same. I start with just mugs of ale, cider, or stout, those are like $5 ok. But then we go to mixing different %, using different glasses, cocktails, shaken, all that crap while the customers still wait impatiently, and the reward is always the same amount for much more effort! If this was my business I'd only do the simple drinks if the complex ones costed the same! The keg replacement is very creative and impressive, a door that takes you to different places and seemingly warp space, I like the ambient inside of those doors too. The character animations also seem to be original, although unpolished, so I'll give them that. As for the biggest red flag, it's all the AI generated models and textures, and we can't really prove it but the UI I've also seen a million times in other games, if not made with AI it's still very out of place. Since the models are AI generated they don't have PBR so everything has this plastic look to it. And it all clashes, it's all different styles, you have a low poly peasant, a PSX knight, an anime furry, a cartoony wizard, a stylised goblin, and I guess the playermodels are also anime furry style? It definitely doesn't feel intentional and gives off a very cheap vibe to this game. Unfortunately we can expect more AI generated art from this org as most other games from them contain some form of AI generated videos or assets.
