Somewhere beyond the end of time and space lies a tavern known only as "The Tavern at the End of the World" (or more simply "The Tavern"). The drinks are free, the company interesting, and the adventures never end. A select few seek the Tavern out but most arrive seemingly at random. Though the clientele varies, they all share one thing in common: a thirst for adventure.

The only resident of this mysterious tavern appears to be a handsome, older gentleman that tends the bar. No one knows his real name so they simply refer to him as "the Barkeeper". He remains mostly silent as he cleans the bar and serves drinks to the patrons although occasionally he offers a few sage words of advice.

You have arrived here under the strangest of circumstances. The last thing you remember is confronting an evil sorcerer hellbent on the destruction of the very world you held dear. You burst through the final door of the sorcerer's tower but arrived moments too late. His foul magic had been completed and the very fabric of reality began to tear apart before your eyes. As you witnessed the end of the world and your body faded into nothingness, you felt ever fiber of your being pulled away through the vastness of time and space before you blacked out. When you came to, you found yourself in "the Tavern". Thankful to be alive, you must solve the mystery of "the Tavern" and stop the destruction of your world.
