In Marenian Tavern Story, which we recently reviewed, players help a young woman, her brother and their butler/caretaker turn an abandoned tavern into a thriving restaurant to break a contract with a poverty god. What follows is a game where you go through routines to gradually get better and become more successful. But what is especially handy about Marenian Tavern Story is how the game does not hold you back. Instead of keeping you along a rigid path, there is a little room for leeway.

Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God is a game that lives and dies by its virtual way of life. Players participate in certain actions, see their world expand, then have an opportunity to keep doing so and growing stronger.
