About

In this visual novel, you play as a city guard who gets the night off of work due to some stormy weather. With some free time on your hands, you decide the best course of action is to head to a local tavern you've never been to before. Talk to some interesting characters, eat some unknown meat, make an elf cry, and try not to be hung out to dry before the night is over.
• Multiple dialogue options and routes based on your choices
• Four unique endings and epilogues
• Multiple locations that change over time
• Girls that you might find cute (or not, I'm not going to judge you)

Short, charming and character-driven visual novel where there are no huge stakes at hand, but a comfortable tavern with conversations to have with its different customers. The writing is easy to follow, and it doesn't fall into the pitfall of trying to sound really deep and philosophical. This makes the characters down-to-earth and relatable, even if they are elves and red ogres with huge muscles. Each one has their own worries and desires, making them distinct from each other which also shows in their colorful character designs. The consistent, strong art style wraps the whole thing neatly, with plenty of special illustrations to spice things up. Each player is sure to find their own favorite character in the tight, yet warming cast. The artbook DLC offers neat little extras for the asking price and a guide on how to get all the endings and scenes. Perfect game to enjoy on a quiet afternoon with beer or any other beverage and salty snack of your choice.
Short but fun visual novel set in a medieval fantasy world. Can be completed in about an hour, but its 4.99, so I feel like its shortness is ok. Also I got my spine snapped by orc cuddles so its a winner in my book.

Like the creator said, it's a short visual novel, where you get to talk to some fun characters while enjoying the night at a tavern! If you want a nice comfy read, I'd say this is one worth it; more so due to it's price! Nice art style, relaxing music, and the convos flow well! Hoping they do more in the future!
Made me like an elf

As written on the tin, a short VN experience about a medieval fantasy city guard who can't seem to stay out of trouble, with different endings depending on your dialogue choices. Probably not too much specific I can say without spoiling, but honestly all the art and dialogue is endearing and fun, peppered with bits of real life lesson moments that make characters more than a just nice pair of elf legs or cool swole-buff-huge hot lady. Much like how I imagine the tavern brew being spiced makes it more than just beer. Worth the price for getting all endings in a couple hours, and the art book is a nice bonus to flip through after you've done all there is to do. Nettle is best girl and I will fight for her.
I got to be slightly rude to an elf. 10/10
Rain And Respite Recommended Length: Very Short (<5 hours) Number of Routes: Multiple Endings Choices: Yes Failure Possible: Yes Character Rating: Very Good Story Progression: Very Good Music Rating: Good Achievement Difficulty: 1 Additional Thoughts: Short but very charming. The overall atmosphere of the story and the characters you meet with are great.
Short and sweet. If you're looking for a (mostly) comfy little visual novel with beautiful and eye-relaxing art to boot to just enjoy and read through and look at, then I recommend this one, absolutely.
Cozy small VN, good music, interesting characters that could be expended in a future game. Intresting subjet that could also be more develop in a longer game. Really good artwork. I'd say the price is just right for the quality and the lenght of the game. Carmea can protect me anydays she want.
