Even monsters need a place to unwind.

Take over a dusty little tavern deep in the dungeon. By day you mix drinks for a bouncing slime, a goblin doorman, an old skeleton soldier and a minotaur who has to duck under the door frame. By night you take your lamp into the labyrinth to gather what tomorrow's menu needs.

▶ Free demo below: play Chapters 1 and 2 before you buy. Your save carries over to the full game.

  • Read each order, then mix it from what's on your shelf: "Sweet and bubbly…" means honey, spring water and slime gel
  • Discover 110 recipes, including secret ones your regulars only teach you once they trust you
  • Age drinks in barrels and watch your recipe book grow

  • Explore a three-level labyrinth by lamplight and find the key hidden on each floor
  • Gathering minigames: pick glowshrooms before they fade, catch wild slimes, listen for echoes, fish for moon jellyfish
  • Run into your daytime regulars in the dark, or something stranger

Eight chapters take you from the dungeon to a labyrinth inn, a tasting contest in the capital, a harbor bar by the sea and the Foglamp Bistro on Fog Isle, then home again.

  • Run two shops at once and assign helpers on the cork board each morning
  • Face three judges and last year's champion at the Capital Tasting Contest
  • Humans and monsters share the counter: help them make friends, or settle their quarrels
  • Chase a good ending in every chapter

68 characters, each with their own story that unlocks as your friendship grows. Collect 15 keepsakes and hang them on the tavern wall.

After the credits roll, Open for Business keeps going: old friends drop by, a festival every seven days across 6 festivals, and a new Weekly Order to fill. Stay open as long as you like.
