The premise, in the publisher's words

Step into the shoes of a humble innkeeper in the late Middle Ages and build your own legacy from the ground up. Set between the 15th and 17th centuries, Tidehaven: Ale & Trade invites you to craft, expand, and customize your very own inn brick by brick, barrel by barrel. What begins as a quiet tavern soon becomes the beating heart of a thriving settlement. As guests pour in, automate your services, optimize your staff, and unlock new rooms and facilities. But your journey doesn’t end at the inn’s doorstep, to shape the future of the town itself with new buildings, upgrades, and mini-games that breathe life into every cobblestone corner.
