Twilight Tavern

Twilight Tavern is a cozy first-person shopkeeping sim where you stock your shelves, haggle with curious customers, and explore a magical town.

Negotiations

Every customer can be bargained with. Make the best deal possible and watch for scammers trying to pay with fake coins. Sell to the wrong customer and the payment turns worthless.

Store Management

Create a store layout that works. Build clean aisles, move shelves around, and leave enough space for customers to explore the shop

Supplies

Order supplies with the magical terminal and choose what to do with them. Craft items, make potions, or place them straight on the shelves. 

Perks

Pick 3 unique perks (charms) each business day, combine their effects, and create a build that suits your shopkeeping style.

Daily Demand

What sells well today may not sell well tomorrow. Check the notice board or listen to campfire stories for clues about changing customer needs.

Explore the Village

Step outside the shop and explore the village. Gather ingredients, complete contracts, visit market stalls, and sleep at the lodge to end the day.

Follow Aunt Hesper’s trail

Your journey begins among snowy floating islands. Search Aunt Hesper’s cottage, gather ingredients, and brew a potion that reveals hidden paths. Meet curious characters and unravel a shrine puzzle before heading to Twilight Tavern, where new clues await.

Discover secrets through light puzzles

Look closely at objects and uncover hidden mechanisms. Inspect, experiment, and unlock tucked-away rewards.
