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)

Spiritually the second best Va-11 Hall-A-like on the market. (The first is Va-11 Hall-A.) If you don't make a full-length sequel I will find you.
Great art, story, and BGM. This game is incredibly comfy and an easy 10/10
It's a little too short even for the asking price and the gameplay is just re-treading the same dialogue making slightly different options that largely converge after a few lines. I was left hoping some more expansive experience or anything to shake up the extremely well-worn Visual Novel path. But even so, the game is charming. I enjoyed all the characters, brief though our interactions may have been and that's likely the point: eliciting the feeling of meeting someone fleetingly over a drink or two.

Short and cute VN, Aewen being the cutest ofc. BUY IT!
Short, sweet and to the point, with fun characters and great art. Definitely worth the price of admission!
Very good visual novel!! i really enjoyed the writing, the characters are all very fun and cute! <3 i had a lot of fun reading it with friends , it has many endings to discover, and a secret / guest character. i really recommend it if you want to read something original and refreshing!
Aewen is best girl. Simple as.
Amazing short visual novel. Mainly taking place during one night at a tavern, every character you meet is immediately lovable, and the protagonist has his own charm, too. You get a peek into the lives of a few fantastic characters with fun dialogue, sweet implied romance, and of course extremely good artwork as well. The endings are bittersweet, though, as it is such a short experience that it really only is a *peek* into these characters and not much more. I would love to see more of this cast someday, because they are all truly charming characters! Even though it's short, though, it's totally worth a read/play for $5. The art alone makes it worth.
A short but comfy game about being a guard and meeting likable ladies at a tavern.
A short visual novel but an amazing experience with amazing artwork. Hope to see more in the future!
