There have been a good few videogames based on Conan the Barbarian over the years, but this one is a little different from most. It’s a text adventure called Tavern of Treachery, and it’s all about running into the infamous Cimmerian during a night on the town and making friends with him—or not, if you want to try your luck.
Tavern of Treachery comes from Heroic Signatures, a subsidiary of Conan Exiles developer Funcom, and of course there’s a connection between the two games. The tavern in question—the Dusky Coil Inn—is a location in Conan Exiles, and Funcom is using it to promote the recently-released second chapter of the Age of War update. Functionally, though, it’s a completely separate thing: You don’t need to be a Conan Exiles player to access the adventure, and what happens in the Tavern of Treachery stays in the Tavern of Treachery.
