The Inn tells the story of down on his luck kind of guy. He's been living by himself in the big city ever since his father kicked him out of his house at the age of 18. He really lives a miserable life... But it's all about to take a 180? turn when he meets a certain person one night (yeah, cliche, I know, sue me).
Now the technicalities: The Inn is (at least on Chapter 1) a straight up "choice and consequence" visual novel. It's made in Ren'Py and uses Honey Select for the scenes... You may be thinking "Eeeewww... Honey Select??? TRASH!!!". Yeah, okay, I agree that most games using HS are quite... Lacking, but I'll try to make at least decent scenes, pinky promise!
Older saves from v0.01 are NOT COMPATIBLE with this new update. Don't worry though, I made a nice little feature so you don't have to replay it all over again.
If it's your first time playing though, I'd advise you to start from day1, as it gives a lot of background on characters and story.
