The Hidden Art of Innkeeping is a lovely pixel graphics innkeeping game by developer SeaPhoenix. Play as Elinor who is visiting a beautiful small town. After a particularly disastrous stay at the only beachside hotel in the area, you decide to convert an old farmhouse to an inn. Of course, renovating an old building isn’t cheap! So, you accept a loan from some mysterious tycoon that demands you pay up by the end of the month. Now you need to renovate the inn and make it turn a profit in order to earn enough money to pay back that loan. 

Meet a cast of vibrant, fascinating guests as they come to your new inn. The Hidden Art of Innkeeping features biologists, adventurers, a pirate, and even a vampire. You might even see some familiar faces from the prequel game. Spend your days exploring and gathering items like paintings that will be displayed in the inn. Discovering these items will help you understand the past and who the former owner was. Complete different quests for the townspeople, and even recruit some new villagers. Then, spend time renovating your new inn and turn it from a dilapidated old farmhouse to a beautiful, luxurious inn. Configure the guest rooms, hire employees, stock your supplies, and create some tasty meals for your guests. 

Will you be able to repay the loan in time?
