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!

Elisa: The Innkeeper - Prequel is a compact visual novel built around romance, fantasy, and player-controlled consequences. Rather than attempting to deliver a large standalone adventure, it functions as an introduction to a broader story, presenting its characters, central conflict, and decision-making mechanics within a relatively brief experience. Neoclassic Games serves as both developer and publisher, delivering a title aimed primarily at players who enjoy narrative-focused games where reading, character relationships, and branching decisions take priority over traditional action. The story centers on Elisa, an attractive innkeeper who has become accustomed to receiving romantic attention from the men staying at her establishment. Her admirers come from very different social backgrounds, including knights, wealthy merchants, and members of nobility. What initially sounds like a straightforward romantic premise gradually becomes more complicated because the player is given considerable influence over how these relationships develop. Elisa's future is not predetermined, and seemingly reasonable decisions can potentially push events toward positive or unfavorable outcomes. The …

Elisa: The Innkeeper: Prequel is a short visual novel that puts me in the role of someone watching over Elisa and deciding how her story develops. Elisa runs an inn where knights, princes and wealthy merchants keep showing up and taking an interest in her. I am not playing as Elisa myself, which is actually a nice change from the usual visual novel setup. Instead, my choices influence the people around her and can push the story in better or worse directions. The whole thing has a simple medieval romance setting, but there is more choice involved than I expected from such a short game. The choices are easily the best part for me. The prequel has three main story branches and represents roughly 20 percent of the planned full story, so I am not getting a complete adventure here. Even so, the decisions can change what happens and can also lead to special items that I can discover and use at certain points. I like when a visual novel actually gives me reasons to think about my choices instead of making every decision feel like a slightly different piece of dialogue. Here, I at least feel like I am shaping Elisa's future rather than just reading a story from beginning to end. The pres…

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..

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
