Repeated intro
Hey travelers, suspicious customers, and future regulars of the Black Maw! Steam post image
GastroComic speaking. Official waiter, tray carrier, and witness to several minor culinary disasters. I also have the highly functional pleasure of announcing that Crimson Furnace is taking part in Steam Medieval Fest 2026. Yes. Us too 👀. I know. Prestigious! Steam post image
For those discovering us for the first time, Crimson Furnace is a tavern simulator set in a cozy weird world that is both medieval and cyberpunk. A place that feels warm, unsettling, noisy at times, and generally unfit for decisions made on an empty mind.
You play as Gus Butcher, tavern keeper of the Black Maw. Your mission is simple to understand, much less simple to survive.
You will have to cook, manage the tavern, bewitch your customers, and complete the missions given to you, day after day. All of it in pursuit of a path far greater than a simple life behind the counter, as you gradually become the worthy heir to the order of the Echomancers.
Serve food. Keep the tavern standing. Answer the demands of fate. Try not to let the whole place collapse. Routine, in other words.
So if you enjoy strange taverns, singular worlds, and adventures that smell of embers, rare herbs, and imminent trouble, we will be delighted to welcome you to the Black Maw during the festival.
Just try not to touch anything that pulses.
This was GastroComic, your humble waitron.
