Is this game just a copypaste of Stardew Valley?

[aetherium.]

Screenshots looks like Stardew Valley with mods or smth, is this true?

[DutchFoodie]

No. While looking a bit alike and having some similarities like the farming, the game is centered on a different main mechanic.

[Phytonite]

It has it's similarities, for sure, but it's entirely different at the same time.

[Philtre]

It has a somewhat similar visual style, but the gameplay is generally pretty different. This game is about running a tavern. The main activities are brewing drinks, cooking food, serving customers and cleaning up after them.

[⭐Rodent⭐]

The character looks much bigger (so far)

[Highly Refined Pirate]

It's a mix between Stardew Valley and Graveyard Keeper, and its pretty good. Still along way to go with some stuff in game, but its core is solid.

Thank you guys for your feedback. No offense to developers, but screenshots really confused me

I was literally about to make a post about this but you beat me too it. Just from the first minute of the game preview I saw so many similarities that it just cannot be a coincidence. From NPC names, the layout of the barn and the graphics... I would definitely agree with you that this looks a bit copied.

Stardew Valley is my most played game, so when I saw this game I added it to my wishlist. I just recently purchased it within the last week. But to answer the question, no, this is not a Stardew Valley rip-off at all. If you like Stardew Valley, I highly recommend this game though! Art style is similar, and from what I can see, has improved since it first released in early access, which is a great sign. The main focus is on brewing and crafting food recipes to serve in your tavern. You can expand and decorate as well, and there's a little bit of farming and mining/gathering involved.

Thank you very much for your answer, I had played Stardew Valley a lot when I was in high school, so I think I will buy Traveller's Rest too.

What everyone else says. I legitimately thought the same thing from screenshots, but I bought it on sale just to give it a try. I even named my tavern "Deepfake SDV" out of skepticism (which I now regret). I love Stardew Valley and Concerned Ape, so I am protective of the content after there have been so many games that have ripped off the concept since its release.

This is not one of those games. The graphics and gameplay are similar, but the concept is unique. I appreciate that completely. The primary mechanics of this game are cooking and brewing, and the rest of the mechanics support as secondary. I agree with @Highly Refined Pirate - this game heavily draws inspiration from Stardew Valley and Graveyard Keeper, but it has produced something unique that I would certainly recommend if you like either game.

i don't know about the names, because i haven't got that much time in the game yet, and my name memory is terrible, but i suspect the barn layout to be less oriented with those from stardew valley, but... you know.... barns. its only so many ways you can shape a rectangle room with hay for animals.
that being said, the artstyle doesn't actually remind me of stardew valley at all, but of graveyard keeper. i mean you can literally re-create the main character from that game as your avatar. but as i like the style and it brings enough new stuff to the table i don't really have an issue with it looking very similar.
also, its stylized sprites, meaning some similarities are to be expected if you also want it to look nice and fit a similar tone, i think.

"Oh no!!! A game's HUD looks the same of another good game!!! It's a copy!!!! I never played it, but I just know it's a copy!!!!!"

Please, learn to read (and to play while you're at it), and you'll discover in 1 minute it's NOT the same.

They stole a lot of mechanics from stardew valley all the way to the way you go to bed. However they changed it enough to be legit. I'd say it's more an unofficial spin off

[Ruffled Owl Saloon]

I'd argue that -right- now it is very much a SDV clone without a lot of the things that make Stardew enticing. In another thread people note how the game is less about running a tavern, but just another resource grinder with little to do in terms of running a tavern.
It'd be nice if the game would focus more on the tavern running again, in the sense that the adventuring, resource farming etc is necessary -to- run the tavern. Right now the cooking and brewing feels more like a plain shipping box than the actual core of the game.

Actually I even wish they copy more... (sprinklers, upgraded tools, auto petting machine , even greenhouse, etc...)
