This or Travellers Rest?

Could anyone recommend one who have played both games? Thankyou and have a good day

This has a lot of bugs.
Example: mugs and plates disappear.
Dev's comment:

Disappearing mugs and plates
The reason why this isn't fixed yet is because despite our numerous attempts, we haven't yet been able to pinpoint what exactly causes this. As soon as we do, this issue will be resolved.

Wow, has it been long since that statement was made?

Statement was made about two month ago. This bug also was mentioned by devs as one of the "Known biggest issues".
I've bought this on GOG with 50% discount before updating to Anniversary to grab all paid DLC from Season Pass 1 free) After upgrading to Anniversary Edition game simply did not start on my Win 7. Other people said that game did not run on their Win 8.1 with the same error.
Looks like, devs just do not test their major releases(!) on all OS, which are expected to be supported.

Even Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 and 8 (extended support for Windows 8.1 until Jan 20, 2023, that means only security updates no functional updates). Developers, especially the smaller ones, usually can't waste resources on dead OS support. I loved Win 7 and hated to see it go, but I saw the writing on the wall. This game was released when Win 7 was already in extended support.

Of course, but:
- devs declared these OS as supported;
- they did not check working on these OS before release;
- they are working on fix at this moment.

If I had known about cancelling support of Win 7, I would not have bought this game.

If you can meet all the technical requirements and resolve windows issues this game has a lot more content than traveler's rest right now. I have both and picked this up after that bundle promo.

I've crashed once. Other than that, I haven't experienced many issues besides a few stuck ai, but you have a god hand you can move them a little and it's fine. Most of the time they get snagged on objects I place in bad locations or right after placing new objects. Still infrequent enough that it isn't a thing you have to manage constantly.

In the beginning of the game I found my mugs and dishes declining as well, but I threw money at it, bought some more, and the problem seems to have stopped. If it does start declining I RP it as my workers/clients breaking stuff and just buy more, I initially thought it was a game mechanic, lmao. Hasn't been a problem for me in a bit though. The game does not tell you how to get resource amounts to appear at the bottom of your screen, which I found vital information, so make figuring that out a priority.

I also found that trying to micromanage every employees priorities can be a nightmare, I just leave them all balanced right now so I could advance in the game, they were all tiring out too fast. Staff room and 2 beds was important keeping the rotation going adequately. I'll probably work on understanding this better in the future. I think schedules is a Tech unlock at some point. Also, I would really like an actual player character that we could see interacting with our inn, that'd be nice.

Traveler's Rest is a fun game right now. There is depth in the alcohol crafting, but not enough content to keep you busy for more than a few hours, unless you can really be creative with the limited decorations. It's still EA, it isn't bad, just not finished. If you feel like supporting a dev and have a free weekend I'd recommend picking it up. I really prefer crossroads inn for the more adult themed and underhanded content, I was never looking for a cute stardew-esque tavern sim, but a no holds barred tavern sim and crossroads hits that mark nearly perfect.

TLDR; Traveler's Rest is fun, pick it up in support, don't expect an expansive game. Crossroads has, for me, minor bugs and right now I highly recommend it. Looking forward to season 2.

This is a good read. Thank you

deathclaw hopefully the Dev's will fix whatever is ailing all users, no matter the OS. I bought this on GOG and my dance card is full with other games. So, I wait on this title for awhile as they sort out the bugs. Cheers.

I'm lost

From what I have read, one of the downsides with buying a game on GOG is that each patch has to be manually added by GOG staff, developers cannot do it themselves. That means patches are usually slower to appear on GOG than Steam.

[Ahoy]

Crossroad Inn (CI) has much more contents than Traveler's Rest (TR) right now. Most of CI bugs have been fixed in the anniversary edition. There are still some annoying bugs, like the famous "missing mugs", but it is not game breaking and can be rectified by the player themselves. TR has less bugs, looks cute, has a better review score. But it does not have much content, and no depth at all. Staff system is not functional right now. You pretty much have to do all the work on your own It is more like a RPG than a simulation game currently. Things get repetitive very soon. Since TR is developed by a very small group, I don't expect TR to have more than 20 hours of game play within one year.

That may be true, but GOG is usually pretty good about getting patches out. You can't use a Steam patch on GOG or vice versa. The good thing about GOG is you own the installer. If you delete your Steam account (why would anyone) your games are history. It's all a matter of preference. I got a patch on GOG for Crossroads this morning, I believe it was the second since the AE version came out.

[E↗↗↗↗YA↗↘↗↘HA~~~]

I played both, TR less than 1 hour for me because I just don't appreciate that kind of graphic, but crossroads inn took me and my boyfriend for about 90 hours, although sometimes we paused for for hours to doing something else. I definitely like crossroads inn more, if you don't care much about resource management, but just want a casual business/decoration experience, then choose crossroads inn.
