Bear & Breakfast is a charming Bed&Breakfast sim, only you're a loveable and dopey bear who just wants to spread happiness.
The aim is quite simple - rebuild a once thriving town back up from rubble by fixing up 5 different 'Resorts' across the map. Each comes with its own quirk and new mechanic starting at simply learning to manage guests by building basic bedrooms, to adding in cooking mechanics, hygiene meters, decor expectations, warmth etc.
There's a lot to it - and I was quite surprised at how much building / crafting was involved. What I didn't expect however, was the fact that you can't sell any unwanted items? you basically have to throw it all away, leading the only source of income being from the Bed + Breakfasts themselves, which, after a long time of having an inventory at the brink of fullness due to multiple piles of 99x pine wood becomes quite infuriating.
It also, for some unknown reason, has a story that kinda just goes completely into out of nowhere territory and then just suddenly 'ends' (in terms of story, not the game itself).
There's also quite the imbalance in terms of hiring staff (which, is a nice addition) it seems to cost an ungodly amount to have staff doing the things that take up 90% of your time and when you have 5 'Resorts' to look after you'll want to have the staff - but you never seem to make enough from holiday-goers to quite cover having a full roster.
Even though it has these issues, it's still a beautifully crafted indie title and I cannot wait to see what the developers do with it going forward (if they do anything at all...)
