Bear and Breakfast

For anyone looking to enjoy a management game with a really interesting theme, you might want to keep a close on 2022 release Bear and Breakfast. Developed by the interesting Gummy Cat as part of the Armor Games Studios publishing ladder, Bear and Breakfast looks to have a very laid back and charming style. The game is simple – you run a bed and breakfast where you will take in guests and try to give them a happy time.

The twist? You are a friendly big bear. Start out with a total mess of a B&B and slowly but surely make changes, improvements, and additions. Add features, bring in new amenities, and clean the place up so that it looks good enough for your guests. Go on little adventures, find new stuff, add more rooms to your B&B, and deal with happy (and unhappy) guests.

It’s a game with all of the cute charm of a child’s dream yet also armed with more than enough interest to keep you coming back for more. From what we can see of this cutesy adventure, Bear and Breakfast might become an industry favourite.

B&B management with a furry twist

The main thing about Bear and Breakfast is that you are going to be running a B&B. How it is run, how it is built, and how it comes together is going to be entirely up to you. You will need to help out the various other anthropomorphic fellows that inhabit this world, assisting them with their own quests and issues. you will also need to help make sur that anyone who comes along to stay is happy, with enough features to keep them staying and paying.

You will have various cosmetic adjustments, as well as an interesting exploration system that will have you meeting all manner of animals. From supernatural looking foxes to oxen in shirts, you will come across all manner of animals – good and bad – whom you can interact with and work alongside.

You can already try out a Bear and Breakfast demo, which should give you enough chances to see if running a B&B in the woods is something you will enjoy.

A great start to something interesting

Having played the demo briefly, we can say that Bear and Breakfast has a very strong and solid idea in place. You take the place of Hank the Bear, and your job will be all about making your B&B a money-making operation.

It is going to take a lot of time, and no doubt a lot of trial – in the demo, we had to make quite a few restarts just to get to grips with the systems.

Pros:

• Interesting art style combined with a detailed, open-world style experience
• Lots of features and options to build up your B&B, even just in the demo
• Great attention to detail on aesthetics and worldbuilding

Cons:

• Not sure how much repetition or length the full game will have

Bear and Breakfast is a construction and management simulation where the protagonist becomes a caring bear-administrator who provides overnight lodging and food for travelers.

The beginning is set

The beautiful brown huge animal, the bear, woke up one fine morning with a great thought. The thought was to make money and choose his vocation in life. Locksmithing, fruit shop, pizza delivery - all wrong. Hospitality is one of the most relaxing activities. All that's left is to build the first cottages to house the poor travelers.

Furnishings

Once built, the rooms need to be furnished:

• Sleeping space (couch, bed, double bed)
• Paintings
• Nightstands
• Carpet
• Light fixture
• Table
• Chairs
• Houseplants
• Bookshelves

It is important to create a pleasant atmosphere where people can live comfortably. Decorate your living spaces however you like.

Moonlight talks

Inside the woods lurk interesting conversationalists who will tell many secrets and help move the story forward. Feed them, make eye contact and you're in for a real adventure.

The key to success

Build new houses, invite guests, then repeat the cycle. A forest business empire that will help you make a fortune. It starts with a front desk in a hut and ends with a luxury apartment complex and a whole team of like-minded people.

People want comfort and positivity. Give customers what they want and they'll pay with handfuls of gold coins. You can't cheat customers: check into an untidy room, mix up the keys, leave them without breakfast. People will leave negative feedback and it will ruin the business. Word of mouth should never be underestimated, bad rumors spread very quickly.
