Description

For the past ten years, Jasper lived a quiet life behind the bar in the neon sprawl of Tokyo—a Scottishman adrift in a foreign city, haunted by old grief and missed chances. But one night, everything goes wrong. Forced to flee, Jasper finds himself stumbling through a door he never noticed before… and into a place that shouldn’t exist.

The Wayward Taproom is no ordinary bar. Tucked between dimensions, it serves as a refuge and crossroads for travelers from countless worlds—warriors, wizards, traders, and things far stranger. Some arrive by ritual. Others by accident. All come seeking something.

As Jasper takes up the mantle of bartender in this strange, shifting place, he begins to realize this bar might be more than just a safe haven, it may be the home, the purpose, and the connection he’s been searching for all along.

But the Taproom holds secrets. And not all guests come in peace.
