All in all, it's been a pretty solid experience playing through the game. The character cast is pretty robust, and you start to see differences between everyone's own little quirks. Each of the scenes highlight different character dynamics, which helps bring a lot of life to the scenes, especially with the voice acting. Surprisingly enough, Tavern Sim management was legit fun, especially setting up all the combos. I did come across some quirks with how the game calculates values such as gold or relationship stats, but that comes with the territory. TLDR: Lark is GOAT.
I wouldn't personally recommend it. It takes too long to get to anything substantial.

Art is nice!
It might have a bit too much text in the beginning (which is skippable), but it is a very charming little game with a nice idea for a tavern sim! For more details, check out my Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9AWfgMKPZc
I'm probably biased but it's very promising. 👍
Bardic: Quest for Love is tons of fun! :D It's a lighthearted comedy with light RPG mechanics and fun social interaction. Think Mass Effect, but in a comical fantasy setting without the laser guns and combat - instead a romantic adventure! Everything about Bardic is charming and enjoyable. The music is bouncy., the artwork is cute and most importantly the dialogue is funny and cool! I've enjoyed Bardic: Quest for Love to far And if you like whimsical, silly and interesting social RPGs / Visual Novels, then this game is for you! :D
The game is great so far! It's definitely still in its beginning phases, but it has been amazing compared to other visual novels. The dialogue is fun and it feels natural! Each character embodies tropes found in both standard rpgs and ttrpgs, which is a breath of fresh air for those tired of the standard personalities. The art is enjoyable and consistent which is a blessing on the eyes. Overall the game is worth the $15 mhm mhm.
I am really liking the story and characters in this game. I played it a few days ago and ran into a lot of major bugs that made it hard to progress in the game however they've fixed all of the problems so now I'm going to play through the game. Really charming game!
Has a very strong premise with likeable character, gameplay and more. Defintely needs some polishing to be a fully-fledged game but has strong potential.
This is one of the most charming games I've ever played. You can tell this was made by people who just wanted to make something fun and cool, and even if there are technical issues that I can point out, I just had an absolute blast with it from start to finish! Honestly, I'd absolutely recommend this if you enjoy D&D or similar games, as this is clearly a love letter to the general vibe of it all!
