Oof, the grind....
You have 3 basic actions to maintain the inn, clean, promote, and entertain the guests.
Their rate lower faster than you can raise them, and in the end it just helps making money, and you don't really need money.
What you need are resources to improve the inn, to get new facilities that can improve your equipment and stats to go on quests to get said resources.
For that, you'll eventually need a party, and to form a party, you need to bond with the special adventurers resting in your inn. The more you upgrade your inn, the more special NPC you'll get, and the more quest you'll be able to accomplish, and the more you'll be able to upgrade the inn.
BUT, very BIG BUTTT, interacting with NPCs takes forever, you gain 5 points per interaction, and you need A LOT of them points.
I wasted around 1 hour trying to just mùaintain the inn, only to ultimately realisze it was pointless, you can't even hire people to do it in your stead.
So I focused on the first NPC, unlocked the party recruitment quite easily (it's only 20 points), and when I saw the next tier required 100points, I was done with the game.
The art is early day of AI use, the plot is... meh, adventurer takes an arrow to the knee, opens an inn with his his sister; and continue to adventure to improve the inn, that's it.
And the gameplay loop is just a chore.
