In the quiet town of Aldermont, a dusty tavern with a flickering hearth has just fallen into your hands. It’s seen better days — but so have you.
Hamre Games, the passion project of solo Norwegian developer Preben, has unveiled Taverns of Aldermont — a charmingly immersive first-person tavern sim where every pour, every meal, and every peace-keeping intervention shapes your legacy. The game is live on Steam wishlists right now, with a free playable demo arriving very soon.
Your Inheritance — The Old Hearth
You’ve inherited your grandfather’s tavern — weathered, worn, and waiting for someone to breathe life back into it. You’ll start small:
- Pull pints by hand in first-person — nail the perfect pour and watch faces light up
- Cook hearty meals from scratch over the hearth and oven
- Balance the books: buy stock, upgrade furniture, and reinvest every coin wisely
- Step outside into a living medieval town — wander the market, harbour, cathedral, and castle on the hill to restock and explore
More Than Just Drinks — Stories, Songs & Scuffles
This isn’t just about serving ale — it’s about the people who walk through your doors:
- Regulars with real stories — they return night after night with personalities, secrets, and lives that unfold over time. Your choices shape how they see you — and how the town sees you
- Music to fill the hall — hire a young lute player who grows more skilled the longer he performs for you
- Keep the peace — guests argue, toast, and sometimes clash. Talk troublemakers down… or settle things with your fists when words fail
- Grow your empire — prosper enough, and you can buy and run five distinct taverns, each with its own crowd, vibe, and way of turning a profit
