Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition

yes

yeah just nice story political

this game is not playable, pets items gets bugy, beds gets bugy, and the worst, dishwashes get bugy and you are not able to empty it. pain in the ax.

I love this game. There's none quite like it as the graphics are good. Not cartoony or pixelart. BUT...the game's a mess. It cannot be played this way, and, since the devs have abandoned it, obviously unable to fix the issues, it will never be playable. You can get through the first phase with no problems, but once your initial inn burns down and you need to create a new one, the game will crash, freeze and do other kinds of nonsense. A great game, abandoned because of bad, unfixable coding. Makes me very very wary of a Crossroads Inn 2.

The game is amazing if you don't rush through thinking since you have played tons of npc controlled builder resource games that you got it all figured out. Slow down, read and play the campaign and simply follow instructions. Do not over spend etc etc, learn the game and live through the campaign.

The game is Deep, Npcs have interactions, social groups can make or break you. There is trading and merchanting as well as production. A very well crafted game. A world away from all the other Inn Keeper type builds I have played in the past. The Npcs have a type of karma system, and there is a minigame of sorts on important interactions in how you deal with people or situations. Very creative.

Big hats off to the Devs who pulled this out of a magic hat using sweat and tears.
A MUST have to any Manic Builder/ World Creator type out there that like Building, Economy mechanics, trade and Npc management.

AMMENDED: (SPOILERS for God Gamers)

- The most detailed social and geo-political interactions among NPC's I have ever seen in a game.
- It is a game about running an INN in an era of OLD, and dealing with the political effects of those around.
- Social Engineering mechanics to influence NPC's is very very detailed, and reactive.
- Providing specific Private Rooms to "specialized NPC's" to complete duties and or tasks for you.
- CAMPAIGN MODE - teaches all the intensity of what this game has to offer, the quests and the story put you through the experience of being a small pocket of peace in a sea of political and social turmoil.
- This has to be the MOST complex Worker management/ Builder game I have yet to play.
- The finale, yes the game makes you HUNT and figure out some things,
but it is worth it- play campaign through to the end. Use the Bank loans, flip loans and advance pay loans and use loans to pay loans. lol That was the easiest way through. But worth it.
Compensate this with growing your own foods, and only serving those (except for quests)
Same with light do wax, bees and candles as soon as you can, unlock farms and plants.
Gambling with cards if you can afford ads. and brewery would be next.
Use adventurers to do quests to get you money and stuff/ intel- use the recipe learns and furniture grabs
Make your inn function on as much self sustained materials as possible and you make 3-5k every few days-- easy to pay off emergency loans and pay off other loans as well. This took a lot of flipping.
OMg... Game ended. Now there is Scenarios! Oh yeah! All titles relative to the original Campaign.
This is Dev love right here. I gotta do these now. >.<

It's a little janky, but I'm having fun

I have tried and I have tried. This is by far one of the worst designed games ever. The thought that the creators are currently working on a sequel when this game is so frustratingly user unfriendly is mind boggling to me. Lets home they actually learned something. I have never been so pissed off at a game to turn around and write a review like this but gods damn!

强烈建议出NS 版本的

The game is broken. It will not work most of the time.

Dont buy. Super buggy and devs gave up trying to fix stuff.

This game had the potential to be a lot of fun, but there are just too many bugs.

Like this game for the building and mystery

This is hard for me because I absolutely love this game. I think the game play is great albeit not the most balanced but still very fun to me. I cannot recommend because the developers stopped caring quite a while ago now.

Things I loved about the game:
- Map and having to get recipes/items
- Having to stock up on ingredients
- Those ingredients took real space in the storage and were visible.
- Multiple levels to the INN
- Time it took from ordering to receiving the item
- Art style and tone of the game

Things I very much do not like about the game:
- Devs abandoned it
- Dishes and mugs broke WAY too quickly
- Game was a buggy mess especially with staff
- Animals increased the buggy mess of it
- It was always the same crossroads and there was no randomness to it
- The perks tree was poorly designed imo, and should have shuffled
- Not enough control over staff including giving training or possibly removing bad traits
- The crafting was all under the same plot and everything, I would have loved if you could have expanded to different plots where some grow food or make plates or candles or whatever and then have those items shipped back.

All in all I have put a fair amount of time into this game. Even though it is a buggy mess I can't play other tavern games because the things I love in this game simply don't exist in those games. I really wish the game were better and fully finished. I wish someone could pick up the concept and make the exact same game but significantly more competently. If the sale is really good, I guess pick it up if you want to check it out. It really isn't worth it because the issues will never be fixed. Which is a real shame and why I cannot recommend the game.

Seeing this game had so many mixed reviews, I was a bit hesitant to buy it. But I was very happy that I did! This is one of the best tavern games I have played. Sure, it's a bit buggy but you can totally work around that with frequent saves and occasional restarts. I have had the game crash on me once, but other than that nothing game-breaking happened. I played through the entire campaign (which has a great story!) and it took be about 35 hours, well worth the $3.74.

Honestly the management system in this game is great but the issue is that it has some graphics issues on windows 11. It is honestly one of the best management games I have ever played but I can’t play it in its current state. When the graphics issue is brought up to the devs they either can not replicate the issue or have not found a workaround. If they fixed it I would probably play this game all day very day, honestly I can’t say whether I would recommend this game or not. If you don’t have the issue with graphics like I do it is a wonderful game. The problem is that this is the only game that has the graphics issues. I have games that run with higher reqs and they don’t have the graphical issues that this game does,

Employees still get stuck. Had a patron wait for his drink for over 3 days lol. I suggest getting the game if it's on sale.

2025 and this game is a mess. Unbalanced, some sorta rodent attacks the barrels and then you cant access them, staff walks too the edge of the screen and stand there indefinitly, you fire them and they just keep standing there leeching your money. Characters go on missions and dont come back. Buy plates and mugs, never too arrive. Its a dumpster fire of a game, dont buy...and its a shame because it had so much potential...apparently theyre coming out with Crossroads Inn 2 and to be honest I hope nobody buys it even if its good...they never bothered fixing this one after all these years.

Xbox users...this game is trash on that platform also.

Dev has dropped this game in an unplayable state. Has been in EA since 2020. Now announce Crossroads 2? Cash grab. If you cannot fix your first game (kick starter, EA, Season Pass, Anniversary Edition) Then give us our money back or give us Cross Roads 2 for free.

The game got stuck in the very beginning. I tried out numerous times but it still had the same issue.

amazing game still

An exercise in futility. The biggest way the developer could have established a game loop is to have staff in your tavern, when hired, be able to serve customers; I often simply found half of my staff lost or literally doing nothing or smoking. I don't know if it's bugged or if the authors really wanted to incentivize hiring characters who have none of several traits that make employees nearly unable to work (chaotic, lazy, slacker, smoker, and drunkard are all separate traits).

Whatever happened, I deeply wanted to like this game. The addition of erotic elements to a nice art style -- incluing a spa room at high levels - seemed like just what I needed. So, so many of the basic quality of life features of indirect control/resource games are missing here -- resource location, being able to restrict jobs and locations (this is bugged), a transparent way to see which specific activities you're forbidding when you forbid a class of activities. It is also, just, yes, buggy.

Pay attention to the reviews. I spent several hours on the tutorial and was not even through the second of three acts of it. I woul have loved to dive into this game - I adore resource management, western RPGs, designing buildings, and erotic games - but due to a combination of bugs and incredibly loose gameplay loops I just got frustrated. Nothing else promises everything this game does, but if the game does happen to deliver on its promises eventually, it would take more effort than I wanted to give.

I'm not here to run a tavern and hate my employees, my ledger, and every way of interacting with the world; just not my idea of a good time. This is an excellent idea of a game that was ruined by shoddy execution.

I've purchased the game in 2020, but didn't manage to play it up until now. Now I found out that it's abandoned since years. Imo it shouldn't be in the store anymore, because more people will purchase it, just to wake up to a bug ridden beta version of a game, with unsolvable issues. Why the devs did this is puzzling me. Why work on a new game, if you didn't finish the first one? Why did you let your project that you spent obviously a lot of time on, go down like that?

Well they started working on crossroads Inn 2...when they didn't even finish crossroads Inn! Yea stay away, far away from this developer.

Game is a buggy mess since the latest patch. Workers randomly won't wash dishes, restock shelves, fill candles etc. I don't know what happened since the game used to work fine.

good but buggy af ♡♡

Game bugs still after update. Making it hard to enjoy or progress

I really like the game as it's a nice relaxing game to play when I'm in the mood. However, the game does have it's problems it is plagued with bugs and the dev's have stopped trying to fix it. I haven't personally run into any game breaking bugs but that doesn't mean the game doesn't have any. So take that for what you will.

Very in depth. Great written campaign. Cozy game.

Multiple crashing

My Autumn Tradition
Crossroads Inn is one of those games that keeps calling me back. Every autumn, as the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, I find myself yearning for the warmth and charm of my bustling little tavern. The combination of running a medieval inn, managing resources, and interacting with quirky characters fits the cozy season perfectly. It's like a ritual now—I fire up the game, get lost in the rhythm of serving guests, brewing ale, and expanding my inn.

Its a bit buggy, but its very fun. Saw it on Let's Game It Out!

As I'm sure you've read in plenty of the other reviews, yes this game does come with several "bugs". However, the reviews claiming that the game isn't playable at all just simply aren't true. I have a basic "run-of-the-mill" laptop that's not designed for gaming (it's a Lenovo Ideapad 3-15ITL6 for anyone that's curious) and the game runs just fine on it - with the exception of some flaws/glitches with graphics here & there.

I don't have any kind of 3rd party modifications added to my game & have enjoyed many hours playing so far with minimal issues. It has crashed on me a couple times, but that doesn't happen often. When I do experience any sort of glitch, bug, or freeze a quick & easy fix that works for me is accessing the menu using the ESC key, saving the game & re-loading from that save file which almost always resolves the issue.

Other than dealing with/working around the occasional bugs, it's a fun game with countless hours of enjoyable gameplay which makes me excited for when the developers finish & release Crossroads Inn 2. Considering how often this game is on sale for less $5 & the fact it still runs fairly well on non-gaming laptops with basic systems I recommend ignoring the angry "don't waste your money" "this game doesn't even work" comments & have fun playing through the different storylines while also building, designing, & running your own medieval inn.

Great concept, good visuals, and a fun experience when it all works, but the bugs have been a major issue since Early Access, and they've only added more since then.

Since early access, the game has also become hornier over time. Prostitution was always part of the game, but at some point over the years it seemed to become much more of a focus. I suspect the game-breaking bugs were driving more serious players away, while gooners are able to look past a lot more flaws in the games they play, so long as they can achieve their quest for polygonal debauchery. So the devs catered to the audience that stuck around. But that's just a theory.

It's a shame, because (despite the salacious shift in tone) if they'd only fix the bugs it would be an easy recommendation for fans of tavern sims and farming games. It has enough going for it that it's worth trying if you can find it on sale for $5 or less, but you will inevitably encounter the same frustrating bugs that eventually drive everyone away.

This game appears to be abandoned and is still haunted by bugs which appears to have been reported 3 years ago. Especially in the campaign.

Crashes frequently or locks up and will have to be restarted due to weird guest behaviors.

This is literally the worst game from the worst dev company ever. After playing games for over 30 years that's saying someathing. Stay clear of these people. They will take your money, release an unplayable, completely broken and buggy product and ban you from discussions if you don't like it. No refunds. Pure scam.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

The developer abandoned this game with massive active bugs because they weren't good enough programmers to fix them.

This sounds like I'm joking or being internet-mad, but the last major update (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/867290/view/3689054062171831624?l=english) genuinely says "sorry, the engine is too crappy to fix any more."

This is nonsense, for what it is worth. There are basic pathing and utilization issues, the sorts of bugs in this game were mostly solved problems back in the 90s. Klabater simply was too incompetent and unmotivated to put in the work.

Buyer beware on everything else they ever create: They are more than happy to abandon you if they feel like they've made enough money.

its fine i just play a little when im bored but usually i uninstall it after playing. its not worth the $15 so just wait for a sale otherwise its a fun game to play if you dont mind some bugs here and there.

I was on the fence about getting this game, mainly due to the many reviews stating it was an unplayable mess of bugs, crashes and glitches. Now, its definately playable, but you will encounter your fair share of bugs and glitches, possibly even crashes. But for me the game only (!) crashed twice over 60 hours. Even with its faults this has still been the best tavern management game Ive ever played and I absolutely recommend it.
