Nothing Ever Happens Here is a first-person British life sim set in Burntwood, West Midlands in 2011.
You have just turned 18. You got kicked out of school, fell out with your parents, and ended up with nowhere to go. Your Grandad Henry took you in, gave you a roof above his struggling pub, he's tough on you, but it's only because he cares.
Burntwood is a real town. The pub is based on a real pub. And Grandad Henry? He is the developer's actual grandfather, and voiced by him.
When a series of unfortunate (read self inflicted) events strips Henry of his alcohol license and leaves the pub an empty shell, it falls to you to sort it out. Rebuild the pub room by room, bring it back to the local it once was, and show Henry that taking a chance on you was worth it.
But there is more to Burntwood than the pub. Save up for your first car and get it back on the road. Get to know the locals, build genuine friendships, and find your place in a sleepy West Midlands town where Nothing Ever Happens Here™ but somehow everything does.
