Complete Game now Available! Go check it out!


Our visual novel introduces the story of Elisa, a beautiful owner of an inn, struggling with the amorous proposal of honorable Knights, high born Princes and rich Merchants.
It will be the Player to decide Elisa's fate and his/her choices may even influence her destiny for the better or the worse.

The Player is -not- the protagonist of this story, however.
His/Her judgements affect every character and their actions, like a god that watches everything from above. For this reason, every decision is a tough choice to make.
Your choice will change the story forever!

Our Prequel summarizes about 20% of our complete story and features 3 main story branches.
The choices you make take account for the possibility of gaining special items; It's up to you to dicover them and when to use them.
This allows you to influence the outcome of the story in a positive or negative way in specific situations, deciding how the story unfolds.

Of course all of those features will play a much more important role once our story will be available in the future.

The Prequel is just our first step!

Hope you enjoy it!

Pros: Free to play, easy to jump into ✔️ Short, casual visual novel with branching choices 🧠 Simple narrative format works well for a quick session 11 Steam achievements to chase 🏆 Negative: Very short — more like an intro or demo Limited depth and replay value beyond seeing all branches Some choices don’t feel hugely impactful 🏆 Completionists & Achievement Hunters: You can unlock all 11 achievements in about 20–30 minutes total due to the short branches and quick progression. For a visual novel prequel, it’s a fast, smooth 100% run. Overall: A tiny visual novel experience that’s perfect if you want a free, short story fix with easy achievements. Don’t expect a deep plot or long gameplay, but it’s a neat little slice of narrative fun.

Very boring story and the art is very odd.. Sometimes it's a really well polished piece (like the thumbnail) but mostly it seems rushed and really sloppy..

Bad visual novel.
Recommended Feb 14, 2026
A normal visual novel for a prequel. - Decent art - Story is basic - Does offer choices which determine outcome of the end, so not kinetic - Nice music - Easy 100% achievements - Has an auto and skip function for achievement hunters who don't care for the game - For a F2P it's worth a quick playthrough. Overall 4/10.

A Beautiful, Heartfelt Beginning Review: A short but absolutely wonderful experience. "Elisa: The Innkeeper - Prequel" masterfully sets the stage for the main game. It’s a quiet, slice-of-life visual novel focused on character, atmosphere, and small, meaningful choices. The writing is warm, the pixel art is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is incredibly soothing. In just about an hour, it made me genuinely care about Elisa and her dream. A perfect, cozy introduction that left me eager for more. Highly recommended for fans of calming, story-driven games.
