About the Game

Pookie's Otherworld Tavern

Genre: Simulation · Visual Novel · Management

Overview You play as Pookie, a modern girl suddenly transported to a gritty fantasy world with nothing but the clothes on her back. Desperate to return home, she takes over a run-down tavern in the town center, realizing that in this world, gold is the only language people speak and she needs a lot of it to buy her way out.

Story One moment, Pookie was living a normal life; the next, she woke up in a medieval town square. Without magic or a sword, her only weapon is her charm and business sense. She secures a job at a failing inn, but serving ale to peasants won't earn the fortune required to open a portal home. To survive, Pookie must transform the tavern into the town's hottest spot. But the nightlife is dangerous. From humble adventurers to corrupt nobles, everyone wants something from the new barmaid. You must decide how Pookie plays the game. Will she run an honest business, or will she use her allure to manipulate patrons, extract secrets, and do whatever it takes to survive?

Features:

  • Tavern Management Sim: Serve drinks, manage unruly customers, and upgrade the inn from a peasant hovel to a high-class establishment.

  • Wardrobe System: Unlock and equip various outfits from modest barmaid attire to provocative evening wear to influence clientele and tips.

  • Choice-Matters Narrative: Decide how far Pookie is willing to go for gold. Your choices determine her reputation and her fate.

  • High-Quality Art: Unlock exclusive scenes as Pookie interacts with the town's most dangerous and wealthy inhabitants.
