Deadwater Saloon

While the game initially seemed to be heading in the right direction establishing a solid foundation with various stats and a promising vision it ultimately feels like we only received half of a finished product. The experience suffers from a critical "snowballing" issue. It is far too easy to farm stats early on, which destroys any sense of challenge. By the mid-to-late game, the gameplay loop becomes hollow; there is nothing left to do but watch your money accumulate, which becomes boring very quickly.

This game is really fun but I agree with a lot of the other reviews that it feels early access. Some more decorations (really no double bed for me and my spouse?), a few more events like the bandits and the preacher and the game would feel a lot more fleshed out. Preformance is good, graphics are decent. At the moment I would reccommend it as a relaxing mobile-esque game to kill a few hours with. I wouldn't mind it been more challenging too.

It is an UHMAZING game, it kinda gave me a struggle in the early game because I had to live everyday with debt... but who hasn't had a total of $1500 debt in their life, am I right? Right? No? Okay. It's like one of those games you once played on your keypad phone where you just build and build and see how your wealth either accumulate or you're forced to do pr0stitution to feed your dog, cat, horse and your wife because you have $1500 debt. hahahaha... On the topic of wife, it is so [b] easy [/b] to cheat on my wife who I only had to woe thrice or quince, romance then propose. I basically had no interaction with whats-her-name (Bertha, her names Bertha and she's the richest unemployed food addict in town) after that. I'd love if I can interact with my wife more so I could stop forgetting about her and stop sleeping with the travelling opera woman—or really every woman I land my eyes on.

Amazing game, i kinda like it, not many option to decorate or extend the tavern/saloon to much but overall this is a good game!

Deadwater Saloon is an ambitious management and role-playing hybrid developed by Tanglefoot Games and Creative Storm Entertainment, and published by CreativeForge Games alongside PlayWay S.A.. Set in a harsh and morally flexible Wild West frontier, the game places you in charge of building, running, and ultimately shaping the reputation of a saloon that can become anything from a respectable social hub to a lawless den of vice. Rather than focusing purely on numbers and efficiency, the game leans heavily into atmosphere and personal choice, framing the saloon not just as a business but as a living extension of your character’s identity and ethics. The experience begins with character creation, where personal attributes directly influence how the game unfolds. Skills tied to persuasion, crafting, combat, and social manipulation affect everything from drink quality and customer satisfaction to how effectively you navigate conflicts and relationships in town. This RPG-like layer gives the simulation a personal angle, making success feel tied not just to optimal layouts or profit margins, but to who your character is and how they operate in a volatile frontier society. Your reputation…

If you ever dreamed of living the life of Dolemite during the Wild Wild West, this game is for you! Booze, drugs and plenty of pimping to go around. Lie, cheat and steal your way into the hearts of the townsfolk, and take out those that oppose! Interesting "friendship" mechanics' success or failures can be the difference between the lowest prices on goods in town, and a sinking Saloon. Arm up your posse, as the inevitable gangs and bandits come to take their cut. While decor/furniture selection may be a bit limited, you have everything you need available to put old Vegas to shame. If you enjoy games like Pizza Syndacate, you'll have a good time. *NOT a game for children*
