AMSTERDAM – May 19, 2026 – Independent game publisher Pixel Doors is proud to announce the official signing of Evergreen Tavern, a first-person medieval Tavern Keeper simulation from developer Romain “Rom” Bevillard of Null Moon Games.
Evergreen Tavern subverts the traditional expectations by turning the monsters in the basement into a recruitment opportunity. While the surface gameplay offers a richly detailed tavern experience complete with gardening, brewing, and serving, the depths below hold a procedurally generated dungeon where players find, educate, and hire the creatures who will actually staff the Tavern!
A Living Ecosystem Beyond the daily rush of the tavern, Evergreen Tavern features impactful ecosystem mechanics. Players are rewarded for finding harmony with nature through hidden systems like biodiversity bonuses and animal happiness. Whether players are growing their own ingredients or protecting their crops from wildlife, every choice has a ripple effect on the quality of their tavern’s menu and reputation.
Befriend, Educate, and Employ In the catacombs beneath the rustic wood floors, players don't just find loot… they find friends. These dungeons are home to rare relics and monsters that players can tame and train in the ways of tavern management. Once recruited, these magical staff members help operate the tavern, allowing the player to focus on expanding their shop and uncovering the mysteries hidden in the depths.
Key Features of Evergreen Tavern:
-
Befriend & Hire Monsters: Tame and nurture dungeon creatures to act as your magical workforce.
-
Impactful Ecosystems: Master systems like biodiversity and animal happiness for better yields.
-
Ever-Changing Dungeons: Explore procedurally generated depths for rare loot, relics, and ingredients.
-
Deep Customization: A wide range of styles and layouts to design a tavern that is uniquely yours.
“I wanted to build a game where players could find meaning in the simple act of building a sustainable, harmonious space,” says Romain “Rom” Bevillard, founder of Null Moon Games. “With Pixel Doors as my publisher, I can focus on deepening these systems and expanding the world, ensuring that Evergreen Tavern is a place players want to return to for years to come.”
“Evergreen Tavern is a rare find in the simulation genre; it's cozy on the surface but presents an incredible amount of mechanical depth right under the surface,” says Nic van ‘t Schip, Co-Founder at Pixel Doors. “The way it balances a ‘hands-on’ management loop with a living, breathing ecosystem is just awesome. We are thrilled to partner with Rom to help this unique vision reach its full potential!”
Kickstarter Launching Soon
Null Moon Games is fully self-funded, with plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign alongside Early Access. A pre-launch page is live to gauge audience and community interest, while prepping the best menu to take players through Early Access into 1.0.
