I’ve spent hours playing Traveller’s Rest with someone, and it has quickly become one of my go-to cozy games. The immersive gameplay and relaxing atmosphere make it perfect for playing while casually chatting in Discord calls. Whether you’re managing your inn, brewing drinks, or experimenting with recipes, there’s always something to do, and the pace feels engaging yet calming. The social aspect makes it even better, which is why I’m already trying to get more friends to join in.

It has become our go-to game whenever we’re taking a break from highly competitive games, offering a refreshing change of pace that allows for a more laid-back experience. Of course, the game is still in early access, so I’m eagerly waiting to see how development progresses. There’s already a lot of charm here, and with future updates, I have high hopes for even more depth and improvements.

Traveller’s Rest effortlessly blends relaxation with creativity, making every session feel rewarding. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a laid-back multiplayer experience!

I keep coming back to it because I cannot find a comparable game to it yet, despite seeing many innkeeper games, all in early access it seems.

However, the game development is incredibly slow. There is little to no narrative, and many of the characters you meet are incredibly similar or are ripped from other media (not subtle enough to be a reference). No quests, storylines, secrets, or anything to interest you into talking to people. For example, I knew everything about Bob through other people before I ever saw who he was, which completely killed the discovery. I met the man on the beach and knew everything about what this character had to offer after realizing the reference.

Running my inn is incredibly fun, but waiting actual years for the beekeeping and gardening to work makes me dread the harder stuff. Multiplayer update didn't make me happy when there is not much to entice friends to play. It sucks because I LOVE the inn, brewing, cooking, hiring and managing, decorating and building my inn to be truly mine. It's awesome, but so grindy in the undeveloped areas.

I cannot recommend this game in the state it's in and I'm afraid that in the YEARS that it will take to get out of early access, I will no longer be the demographic that wants to play the game, which sucks, because I really want to play this game completed.
