Feature List
Build
Build floors, walls, doors, windows, roofs, stairs, and fences. Really customize the kind of layout you want.
No prefabricated square spaces, the layout is your choice.
Build up! Adding stairs can potentially double the amount of space while adding a unique look!
Decorate
Decorations all contribute to the quality of the rooms, and your Inn.
Some decorations can have an area of effect, such as a fireplace will add comfort to surrounding decorations. A vase with fresh flowers will add to the style to surrounding decorations, boosting the overall joy a guest can experience.
Some decorations are also activities that guests can enjoy, such as hot tubs, archery targets, and yoga mats.
Link decorations together to give guests more complex activities to do. If there are sofas, and books in bookshelves, guests will be able to pull them off the bookshelf and read. If there is food left on the buffet table, they’ll grab a plate and eat it at a table.
Host
Guests will have a good time based on their personal standards. At the end of their stay all the things they’ve done get tallied up to see how they stack up. They’ll then give a star rating.
Some guests have simple needs such as asking for a certain flower in their room, or certain activity to use. If you provide for them they will unlock new stories, and bonus items & decorations to place in your Inn.
