# Cozy Inn Manager - Simulation Template | Summer Engine

## About this template

Cozy Inn Manager gives you a warm simulation loop from day one: guests arrive, resources convert into upgrades, and your world slowly becomes more personal over time.

It is especially useful for teams building a calm experience where polish comes from pacing, UI clarity, and satisfying progression rather than twitch mechanics.

The onboarding questionnaire can point beginners toward this template when they describe a relaxing, systems-light game with strong atmosphere and gentle goals.
