Alice and Pelena are present in the new game as Cock Inn's workers. Bard is also expected to be there but he'll be added in future updates. Tavern isn't a focal point anymore, it's just a place you can visit as a client now to rent a room and rest & bathe there, or buy some food/alcohol.
I'm almost done detailing it, tomorrow I should start detailing the clothes shop. It was supposed to have a unique job you can do to earn money but I decided to add it later, to release this playable build earlier.
I really like how Alice looks in this game... she appears to be very annoyed and bored with life, as I always imagined her to be, but couldn't quite show this in Innventure.
