bon jeu narratif, super ambiance et des personnages attachants
Good story building, easy to pause and come back to at a later time. Actually felt invested in some characters (Hated others), but overall a good balance. LET ME ROMANCE THE WOLF LADY!!
This is an amazing calm game perfect for a quick playthrough on a Saturday morning. The characters are delightful and the story is engaging and fun. For anyone looking for a visual novel with some gameplay mixed in you might like this game!
A bit simplistic but the world building has been great and the art is amazing
I loved this game, more specifically, I loved the characters first and foremost. (Fable is a cinnabun who should be protected al all costs.) The way that you can impact their dynamics is great and it comes down neatly in the end. They're character development along the game is really heartwarming to see and the game really made worried for them. They're all great! About the choices, I'm not sure if only failed twice but those two specific ones really were a gut punch, I appreciate the fact that it had actual consequences instead of simply "well, you get a different achievement." I'd really love to see a sequel of this, specially if some of the most iconic characters were still around and we got to see how their relationships developed. It's a great cozy game and they don't even tend to be my cup of tea. Good job Gentle Trollers! Can't wait to see more of you.
The characters are great. Each one distinct from the other. They all have their own goals and quirks that make them stand out. I've picked up and put down this game a few times and I always come back to it. With that said, I haven't finished a compelte play through, but it is my go to to wind down at the end of the day. The mini games with making the drinks and keeping tabs on the quests is super fun. Love the art too. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy Coffee Talk.
Tavern talk has to be one of the best Visual novels I have played, The art is just amazing and the character's are well written and lovable. (fable best elf) If you love found families you'll love this!
what i liked about this was the varying paths and each character, especially the interactions. its good for those who enjoy more story kind of games compared to action and those who liek delving into more characters. definitely recommend
Entspannt und tolle Geschichten.
I came for the fantasy tavern. I stayed for the characters. By the end I cared more about the people than making drinks. I expected a fantasy version of Coffee Talk. What I didn’t expect was how attached I’d get to the cast. Every adventurer seems to have their own story, goals, and a life beyond the tavern. I kept looking forward to seeing them return and hearing what happened next. The world feels much bigger than the tavern itself. There are hints of adventures, politics, mysteries, and places you’ll never see directly, which makes the world alive. The setting is charming, the writing is warm, and the game is refreshingly LGBTQ+ friendly. Always a bonus.
