Dungeon Inn Overview

Dungeon Inn is a cozy management simulator game developed by Cat Society and published by Spiral Up Games. It was released on November 14, 2024 for the PC in early access, where it will have multiple updates down the road until its eventual full release sometime in Q3-Q4 2025.

The Dungeon Inn was established by the ambitious Sara, who has struck a deal with a dragon who resides beside the mysterious dungeon that appeared. Seeing the amount of adventurers wandering into the dungeon, she opens up a rest stop to earn gold before they reach their untimely demise. However, rival guilds from the Sea and Mountain are both vying to be the first ones to conquer the dungeon. As Sara, strategically keep the two guilds separated as they enter her inn by delaying their approach, soothing their senses with drinks, or escorting them into their rooms before they notice their rivals.

Dungeon Inn Gameplay

Dungeon Inn is a turn-based strategy simulator game where players act as Sara as she lures adventurers into her money-making scheme of managing an inn at the mouth of a mysterious dungeon. Players must separate the rival guilds unaware of each other through presence and sight by carefully managing them per turn. Sara can lure them with advertisements as they walk towards the dungeon one by one unbeknownst of each other and her scheme. However, at odd times, she must calm down rowdy customers that might unravel her plans. Players can serve them drinks to soothe and calm them down, keeping the peace.

However, the two guilds will inevitably figure each other out, and so players must remain inconspicuous and quietly support one side in order to hide Sara’s tracks of supporting both.

Dungeon Inn Reviews

Cozy Start to an Adventure

Dungeon Inn is a unique twist to the management genre by introducing a turn-based system into a restaurant/tavern management game. Coupled with the fun art style, it provides a fun, relaxing, and strategic experience from juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities. Our reviewer at Game8 praises the lovely and warm cartoon visuals, alongside the unique and engaging gameplay that were easily and well-explained through its tutorials. Though the core gameplay loop seems rather straightforward, the game’s complexity grows as players progress through the game further.

Chalgyr’s Game Room had a great time playing the game, frequently finding themselves smiling while seeing its potential in the future as it progresses through early access. The Gamer’s Lounge rates it at 4/5, pointing out how its originality exceeds their expectations that draws them to try the game out once more as it receives more updates in the future.

Though Metacritic has yet to display a score due to a low review count, the game’s Steam page has a ‘Very Positive’ review rating from its users.
