About this game

A mysterious tavern with a deadly secret! Check-in to this magical tale of murder and mystery where not everything is as it seems. Explore the tavern in secret or in style, meet and mingle with guests and staff, wield weapons and magic and uncover clues before the killer strikes again!

"Evertree Inn" is an immersive 265,000 word interactive experience by Thom Baylay, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast unstoppable power of your imagination.

What will you do when an overnight stay in a highway tavern turns into the biggest mystery of your life? Will you rise to the challenge, or will you resist your destiny? Are you in it for the money, for the thrill of the chase or are you secretly hoping for romance? Enter an open world, where the choices you ignore matter as much as the ones you explore and where every interaction has a reaction. Choose your path as elf or dwarf, human or halfling or even the elusive brownie and find out if you have what it takes to survive the night at Evertree Inn?

Ratings and reviews

This game has decent replayability and I enjoyed the writing! However, it's much pricier compared to other games of this size and length from CoG. I like how it feels like you're playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons, but it feels limited in that aspect compared to an actual game of D&D. I'd still like to play the other games that come after this one, but the price/content ratio will likely turn me away. I recommend the author's other work, "The Grim and I," over this one.

Goodness, do I love this game! Despite it being relatively short, the mechanics and characters have an immense amount of depth that adds wonderfully to the experience. There's a plethora of options you can choose from, and what you do decide actually effects your character - from their personality to how they may act in battle. There's a decent amount of replayability, with secrets still likely to be hidden after your first playthrough. It's a bit pricey for the length, but still well worth it.

I first gave this game 5 stars back in 2017, and after playing a multitude of choice and hosted games since then, I had to come back to write a review. This game is my all time favorite choice of games. First of all this game is a mystery, which makes your first play through the most important one. Characters are interesting and have depth and the two romances really stand out. Each stat takes you on a different path to solve the mystery. It is a well written compact story, and while there is a sequel in the works, Evertree Inn can fully stand on its own. This story is the best of choice of games, its friendly to new readers because it is shorter compared to the other behemoths, the romances are solid, and the amount of freedom to reach the end is quite refreshing. If you do get this game you should try to solve the mystery on your first go~
