Mystic Inn

If you fancy running a pub for a "spell", then Mystic Inn is just your "tonic". (No more silly puns, I promise!) It's a decent, if not very memorable, fantasy-themed time management game set in a public house frequented by spell casters.

+ Original concept for a time management game
+ Creepy, atmospheric graphics and music
+ Tons of levels and some mini games to play through

– The challenge of the main game lacks variety

You play a serving girl who must seat customers, take orders and serve them to the tables. It's kind of Diner Dash meets Lord of the Rings.

The selection of potions available to order are ranged across the bottom of the screen.

Seat a group of customers at a correctly sized table (first thing you notice is, despite the colored robes, there's no colored seating for bonuses).

They peruse the menu and then raise their hands to order. A clock above their heads displays how long they will wait before storming out.

Once you take the order, a number appears below the potions you have to get them.

Click that many times on the potion and they appear on the bar as if by magic (duh). Click the bar to collect the potion orders.

Once the order is on your tray, take it to the table to deliver it.

And that's it. Over and over again. Sometimes an owl flies in to place a take-out order and sometimes there is a bonus round where you mix speed-up or time-freeze potions.

Later levels introduce mixed groups who place mixed orders.

So yes, it gets more difficult, but the problem is the mechanic of placing the orders (clicking on the potion bottles) is dull. I'd like to have seen food orders as well and other variables.

Mystic Inn is a routine game inside an unusual skin. The graphics are great and the music sets the tone, but if you're looking for pure gameplay, there are better options in this genre.
