Morakh and Kara have been playing Ale & Tale Tavern for a minute now, I think it got surfaced in one of these incredibly frequent, increasingly niche showcases on Steam. They ended up getting hooked on the free demo "First Pints" which limits the full extent of the play area by situating you under a dome, reminiscent of the Stephen King thriller "Under The Dome." But that's the kind of thrilling intensity Gabe brings that kind of intensity to the dining room.

It's got a little bit of everything, which has itself become a modern staple: there is a lot of stone soup being served. And why shouldn't it be that way? Why not have a Pokemon Factory Shooter or an Automation RTS or whatever the fuck. Let's see what we can make with these bits and bobs. He and Kara go fucking hard on Cozy, and Ale & Tale is really working for them - it's got some Dave The Diver in there, it's got some Overcooked, some Survival stuff, and the surest, most certain form of gabe-nip - interior design. I almost want to get a copy just so I can see what he's got going in there.

Seems like a lot going on for fifteen bucks! Except it's only thirteen bucks because it's on sale.
