KEMCO has shared a lovely batch of screenshots and other information for Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God, an RPG set to arrive on Nintendo Switch tomorrow.
The game follows a story in which Patty's brother has been possessed by the God of Poverty - haven't we all - leaving the whole family in huge debt. To pay back the debts, Patty decides to open a tavern in Marenia, gathering ingredients and cooking up some much-needed cash.
You'll be collecting your ingredients at the supply shop or by finding them in dungeons, with your typical RPG monster-slaying action firmly in place. There are more than 600 dishes to be made and you can effectively run your tavern how you like, serving up whichever meals seem appealing to you. You can also level up by defeating monsters and eating food (we can definitely do at least one of those things), and characters can be trained up to take on new dungeons.
RPG fishing fans will also be happy to hear that you can hit the lakes to catch some fish, and you can also try your hand at farming to get vegetables or meat from livestock. Hopefully the trailer above gives you a good sense of what to expect, but these screenshots below should come in handy, too.
As noted above, the game launches on Switch tomorrow (29th November) for £17.99 / $19.99. You can pre-purchase it right now from the Nintendo eShop.
Will you be setting up your very own tavern tomorrow? Let us know with a comment below.

I enjoyed their mercenary sagas. But didn't get to finish them. I like their artwork and music is quite good too. Gutted I bought digitally and then it had a physical release not so long ago. Also I hope they check the item names this time, loads of mistakes in sagas. (Example, Leather buckle, and it's actually an ear ring!?)
Looks good, but will have to wait. Dont want my backlog to build up
I really, really like the concept, so will be keeping an eye on this one, but I definitely need to see more of the execution as that trailer really isn't great... the opening brick wall, that font, the transitions and graphics are all just a bit meh!
The trailer does get gradually better to be fair... but man, that opening 15 seconds is awful!
Looks like Adventure Bar Story which I enjoyed on iPad. I'd recommend checking that out from the Apple Store to see if this is for you as I reckon they are very similar even down to the battle layout.

"Get ingredients from many places"
And I am out!
@Shellcore Was just about to say that. I bought it on 3DS, and quite enjoy it.
It almost felt like Atelier game. But more ingredients for cooking. It looks nice though
I was going to say the premise sounds like Adventure Bar Story, then I saw the screenshots and the battle looks exactly the same!
Is this by the same team? I enjoyed ABS on the 3DS
There's a trial version on the Android Play Store; there's also the full version for £7.99 if anyone was interested.
You had me until you said kemco
This sounds familiar to me. Think their was a 3ds game that worked simular. If it as good as that game was I will likely enjoy this one too
@Dalifano
I'd recommend to look at this one with a different eye, since the actual developer is RideOn, and it seems to be a spiritual successor to their earlier title Adventur Bar Story, which I think is one of the best budget JRPGs available on 3DS. Looks like this isn't made by the same group that's known for the very cheap-looking JRPGs.
I missed the Rune Factory series so I hope this is just as good as that.
@Dalifano lol
"What animal is it? I've never seen an animal like that before. Do you know what it is Romano?" I know its a pikachu look-alike!
I'm thrown off by any game developed by KEMCO to be honest. While this may be different, most of their RPGs seem pretty generic and boring. Plus I'm not really keen on giving any of my money to a developer that leaves microtransations in some of their (paid) Switch ports.
No way no Physical option in this day and age...
Unpopular opinion: crafting in video games sucks, and the inevitable collect-a-thon of recipes and ingredients that accompanies it is even worse.
Feels like adventure bar story. Will get eventually.
Is this a SNES game?
If I had time I would definitely play it. Unfortunately it will have to go on my list.
I'm liking the look of this, a nice blend of pixel plus high res 2D art it seems
This is just a mobile port. You can get it on Android for less than half the price.
