About Keg & Crypt
A tavern worth coming back to
Your uncle has handed over the keys. The next good night is up to you.
Keg & Crypt blends fantasy tavern management with adventures into the crypt. Build a place your guests want to return to, then trade the bar for weapons and venture into the Drowned Abbey.
Make the room your own
Place and rearrange tables, seats, storage, brewing equipment and kitchen stations. Plan the journey from keg to counter and kitchen to table. A welcoming room needs to work for the people in it.
Make it. Carry it. Serve it.
Bring ingredients home from town, prepare them at your stations, and turn them into ale, cider and hearty meals. Move kegs, stock shelves, pour drinks and carry plates to your guests. Good ingredients and careful preparation shape what you serve.
Get to know your regulars
Guests have their own tastes, budgets and patience. They notice the wait, the price, the drink and the state of the room. Returning guests remember their visits, and word of mouth helps shape your tavern's reputation.
Run the business your way
Set your menu and prices, buy supplies and hire staff to help with the work. Balance the day's takings against the cost of keeping the doors open. Play Career for the business challenge, or arrange your tavern in Sandbox.
Venture into the crypt
Leave the hearth behind and explore the Drowned Abbey. Fight fantasy creatures with weapons and skills, collect equipment and loot, and return to your tavern to prepare for another expedition. A good meal before a dangerous journey can make a difference.
In development
Keg & Crypt is in active development. Solo tavern management, fantasy combat, and online co-op for up to four players are planned for launch. The current screenshots and tutorial video show solo tavern gameplay.
