Magic Inn is a charming life sim where you run an inn with the help of workers and magic! Play as an exiled wizard who’s taken on the job of innkeeper and begin your adventure in hospitality. Customize your character with fun clothing options, hairstyles and colors, and more. Manage menus, hire staff, keep the place clean, serve customers, and decorate the inn to make it more inviting. Getting the inn up to a 5-star rating is the goal, but who said you have to earn that without a little cheating?

While your skills and ability to make guests happy is necessary in Magic Inn, your relationships with others will go a long way, too. Chat with your guests using a card battler system. Get to know their stories, give them compliments and gifts to make them regular customers, and even help them out with their problems. Gaining friendships will help bolster your rating and earn you some powerful resources. For example, you could pay the local detective to find out who the secret judges are that rate your inn. They come in disguised as regular customers, but if you knew who they were, you could treat them extra special. A 5-star rating is the goal, after all!

There’s Something Special About This Game

I’ve had the privilege of joining the playtest for Magic Inn and I really enjoyed it. I expected some hiccups, but really didn’t come across any. Instead, I got to experience a game that was clearly made with a lot of love. The art is pretty. The inn has that perfect slightly dim, but not exactly spooky atmosphere you’d expect from a magical inn. The characters are nicely drawn and varied in looks. I also love the addition of spells that can be used to actually help around the inn. I burned down pesky cobwebs with small fireballs, and summoned a rain shower to clean tables for me. Throw in the card battler-style conversations you have with customers, and this game is a super unique blend of things to really keep you engaged and interested. 

Release Date

Magic Inn releases on Steam in just a few more days. You can grab it on August 4th, but before that there’s a demo you can check out! It’s perfect for those of you who enjoy a tavern management game, but have always wanted the fun of casting useful spells to help with your chores!
