About Tidehaven: Ale & Trade

A sim and idle medieval town management game that thrives while you're doing your stuff. Craft hearty meals and bold brews to keep your patrons coming back while your inn quietly grows into a full-blown medieval town.

Build, Brew & Belong.
Tidehaven: Ale & Trade is a cozy yet authentic medieval inn management & automation & design game designed to fit your day. Just let your tavern hum along while you work or jump in to micromanage rush hours, strike shady deals, and expand a sleepy inn into a lively town, and if you want simply make it work at the bottom of your screen with the compact mode.

From Inn to a Town Start small and grow room by room: kitchen, bedroom, market, stable, a secret meeting room for under-the-table trades, and more. Grow your village beyond the inn, build stable, butcher, blacksmith and more to shape your town.
Customize Everything

Unlock tons of decor and decorate your space in any style you like, you can even paint each tile on the floor! And some of these decoration items have a surprising bit of lore and talent tree too! 
Talent Tree & Building with PerksEvery gem you pull from the earth is a decision waiting to be made. Invest in shadier income streams, a more efficient kitchen, or a bloodline of legendary horses. Your place, your call.

Cozy Medieval Vibe

Set between the 15th-17th centuries, Tidehaven pairs crackling hearths and clinking tankards with medieval tunes that makes time drift by. Strengthen your economy while expanding your tavern in most fashion way!

Is this game something for you?

  • Playing Full Screen or “bottom-of-screen” with the Compact Mode for effortless second-screen play sound appealing?
  • Inn to town: Do you enjoy developing your place in your own style and discovering different mechanics and dynamics with each new building?
  • Try side events & mini-games, gamble that spice up your routine with risks and rewards.
  • Pets? Oh, we like pets. Name your dog, breed horses, and if you’re lucky keep a rare parrot in your room too. Fishing? Hmm… Soon.
And here is no punishing gameplay with constant difficulties that need perfect planning. Faster, chiller, relaxing, min-maxing, every way is a right way here. No plague carts, no witch hunts, no non-stop raids! Put your fireplace, take a fresh ale, and do a little automation.

No offline progress. Clunky UI. And sooner, rather than later, you will encounter quite a few annyoing bugs. Like archievements not unlocking, cant clean the tavern anymore, etc. Then there is also the thing that the dev dissappeared and stopped communicating for 2 months already. Game seems to be abandoned. You have been warned.

It's okay, the graphics are good. The gameplay is bland, with not much to do besides waiting. Games of chance like rolling dice or guessing coins don't make the game more engaging because they only reward money, and eventually, money becomes irrelevant. There's no cooking animation in the warehouse or kitchen, the chefs and staff just stand there. This makes the game feel low-quality, simplistic, and incomplete. This game really needs more activities, like player can ride horses, fishing, plant trees, or fight vs bandit.

game breaking bug: the maid that clean the table always keep stucked at the bottom of the screen. i.e. no new table cleaning no new customer no income. so every time i open a game i can only earn 1 round of money and have to restart. ridiculously stupid.

Tidehaven: Ale & Trade is a wonderfully cozy medieval sim that blends tavern management, crafting, and idle progression into a warm, addictive loop. Starting with a small alehouse and slowly expanding into a bustling town feels rewarding, and the mix of brewing, cooking, decorating, mining, gambling, and smuggling gives every session a fun variety. The art style is charming, the pacing is gentle, and Compact Mode makes it perfect to keep running while you work or relax. It’s a delightful, low‑pressure builder with tons of personality.
