Innovative Bartending Simulator, October 22, 2022

A relaxing bartending game with both story and arcade mode,set in a fictional town with all kinds of characters appearing on the tavern telling their mundane and fantastical stories or who just want to have a good time. Either listen to their stories or challenge yourself and memorize recipes by making drinks in arcade mode. Interactive fiction with bartending elements mixed in it: What more could I ask for?

Now,while i do enjoy playing drink-making games it's rare to see interactive fiction or any type of story to read with them. I personally enjoy games where I can interact with NPC's and hear their stories so that's why I went for the story mode most of the time in my playthroughs. Replayability is a strong point of The Thick Table Tavern along with it's worldbuilding which though it is not extensive, it's intriguing nonetheless.

Having said that,there is a need for proofreading in the story mode. As a previous reviewer said,there are some grammar errors throughout the story that need to be fixed.

A chill game overall with a compelling story mode and great UI.
