After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the fantasy tavern management sim with "RPG elements" Crossroads Inn will be releasing this month on Steam and GOG.
What's really interesting about Crossroads Inn is how it will have two entirely different game modes. There's a Sandbox mode that will have you build your own tavern, hire staff, manage the business and so on. While the Campaign mode will have a "rich story" to play through full of "large-scale drama full of political intrigues, vivid characters, treacherous NPC’s and dangerous quests".
You can see some of the Sandbox mode in one of their somewhat recent livestreams below:

- Once in a lifetime culinary adventure designed in cooperation with the experts from Nerds’ Kitchen! Discover recipes, create new dishes and serve varied menus to attract different social groups
- A complex tavern economy simulation with various groups of customers, special guests, unique and regular employees, dozens of resources and facilities to build and develop
- Original soundtrack composed by talented team including Marcin Przybyłowicz (The Witcher 3) and recorded with traditional folk instruments from various cultures and eras
Linux support is still happening, as confirmed on Twitter and their official site news post. Both clearly label Linux as a release platform for October 23rd.
It will be available on GOG (no store page yet) and Steam.
