Magic Inn is a rather charming tavern builder that launched in August, and while it suffered from my usual pet peeves with similar life sims and farming games, it was still something I enjoyed playing. The developer is hard at work though, and a big quality of life patch just dropped that greatly improves the experience on PC and the Steam Deck alike.

The main change that benefits us is support for on-screen keyboard on the Steam Deck, but this is a big update that adds a ton of good changes. There are manual saves in the game, save slots, an Inquiry system to learn about NPCs in the game, improved dialogue UI, difficulty options leading into Act 2, improved controller support, and a ton of bugfixes. This patch has fixed or improved a lot of my gripes with the game, and hopefully this means Magic Inn will turn a corner.

Magic Inn is $14.99 on Steam.
