About
You wake in a collapsing tower with no memory. The only other person here—a silver-tongued mage named Ilar—claims to be saving your life through a desperate ritual. Yet, their story keeps changing and you keep dying.
This is Chronicles of Taldun: the Remainder, a dark fantasy visual novel where death is not the end—it's how you learn the truth.
Play as Vyn, a High Magus trapped with Ilar in a tower that's tearing itself apart. Each death reveals another fragment of memory, another piece of the mystery. Were you colleagues? Lovers? Enemies? The deeper you dig, the less certain you become, and the more you realize Ilar may not be trying to save you at all.
Read between the lines. Explore for clues. Use hands-on deduction to break the vicious circle and set them both free.

Good story (gives me a bit lovecraftian vibes), beautiful artwork, nice ambient <3
The art is downright stunning and the soundtrack is very immersive. A game that can be perfectly described as "dreamy". It is text heavy and can drag on a bit, and some of the art/transitions are a little rough, but that's about it for downsides. I cannot wait to see where it goes from here.

Игра 'Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder - Act 1' оставила противоречивые впечатления. С одной стороны, мир Tal'Dun обладает интересной историей и проработанным лором, который постепенно раскрывается в процессе исследования. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в пиксельной графике, вполне приятен глазу и создаёт атмосферу классических RPG. Боевая система, хоть и пошаговая, предлагает тактические возможности благодаря различным способностям персонажей и окружению. Однако, Act 1 ощущается как затянутое вступление. Сюжет движется медленно, а персонажи, хоть и обладают потенциалом, раскрываются недостаточно. Повторяющиеся задания и однообразные локации могут наскучить. К тому же, встречаются баги, которые, хоть и не критичные, портят впечатление от игры. В целом, 'Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder - Act 1' - это многообещающий проект с интересным миром и неплохой боевой системой, но требующий доработки в плане сюжета, контента и технической стабильности. Я надеюсь, что следующие акты смогут реализовать потенциал, заложенный в первом акте. Пока что, рекомендую игру только тем, кто готов к неспешному геймплею и ценит пиксельную графику в сочетании с тактическими боями.

An ambitious and atmospheric visual novel that immediately draws you in with its rich world-building and deep, layered storytelling. The setting feels alive and mysterious, with a tone that mixes political intrigue, personal conflict, and emotional depth. The writing is detailed and immersive, rewarding players who enjoy slow-burn narratives and carefully built lore. The characters are well-developed, each carrying their own motivations and secrets, and the dialogue is thoughtful and engaging. The art style and music help set a moody, almost haunting atmosphere that fits the story perfectly. However, since this is only Act 1, the pacing can sometimes feel too slow, and the story ends just as things are getting truly interesting, which might leave some players wanting more. Despite its unfinished nature, Chronicles of Tal'Dun: The Remainder - Act 1 is a strong start to what promises to be a deep and memorable narrative journey. If you enjoy complex stories, political drama, and character-driven storytelling, this is definitely worth diving into. 📜🔥
Мрачная визуальная новелла с разветвлённым сюжетом, где решения игрока влияют на развитие истории и ведут к разным концовкам. Действие погружает в тёмный фэнтези‑мир с глубокими тайнами и сложными персонажами. Плюсы: Захватывающий сюжет с множеством вариантов развития и неожиданными поворотами. Красивая ручная рисовка персонажей и локаций, атмосферные иллюстрации. Проработанные персонажи и эмоционально насыщенный нарратив. Минусы: Эмоционально тяжёлая атмосфера — игра может утомлять из‑за мрачного тона. Необходимость многократных перепрохождений для раскрытия всех деталей сюжета. Отсутствие карты сюжета или подсказок, усложняющее ориентацию в ветвлениях истории. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам тёмных визуальных новелл, готовых к глубокому погружению в сложную историю с нелинейным повествованием.
