Revisiting this game after playing the prequel, it holds up amazingly. The characters, music, and story are all excellent, and it's become one of my favorite visual novels! If you're a fan of tabletop RPGs or the fantasy genre, you'll have a great time exploring this world.
I LOVE THE STORY SO MUCH I JOINED THE KICKSTARTER FOR THE SECOND GAME THEY ARE MY BABIES
Before to go any further, bear in mind that's a visual novel. So basically, if it's not your cup of tea, you might want to skip that game otherwise you could have a bad time. The synopsis could mislead you : It's not about making cocktails. Besides, you actually don't have much choices to do. However, even though you get the impression none of your picks really matters, yet it surprisingly does. That being said, to make it short : I truly love it, it was a very nice story with endearing characters.
It was the best game ı've ever played in my whole life. All the characters have a very special place in my heart!! ♡ ingilizceniz iyiyse ve medieval fantasy seviyorsanız kesinlikle oynayın!
Habe die Demo bei Findelfuchs auf Twitch gesehen und musste mir gleich das ganze Story Bandel kaufen weil ich so lachen musste beim zu schauen.
Very good, very chill. I hope we get a Lin plush in the future <3
Such a rich and fascinating world packed with its own lore and characters, you can't help but get immersed into the adventure! The colourful crew you engage with have their own distinct personality, and it keeps the story alive and flourishing through so many perspectives. Tavern Talks beams with the passion and dedication of all who helped craft it, I can't wait to see what more they have in store :)
Very good game, love talking to all of them
Si te gusta el mundo de dnd, hay referencias en el juego que te gustarán. La historia es dnd coded, solo que se vive todo desde el punto de vista del tabernero. Los personajes son entre interesantes y memes del mundo de dragones y mazmorras. Aunque al principio te parezca que no, hay elecciones y la gran mayoría depende de qué bebida des a los personajes para sus misiones. Esto afecta en su resultado también. Recomendado si te van las novelas visuales y la fantasía.
in tabletop worlds, they say everybody always meets in a tavern... and this tavern is run by YOU!!! step into the shoes of tavernkeeper [redacted] (just innkeep to friends and patrons--a good neighbor never gives out their true name) (wink), who serves up quests along with drinks. meet and befriend a colorful cast who might as well have stepped onto your screen straight from a dnd campaign, feed them delicious drinks that you will wish existed in real life, and send them on their way to glory or total disaster!! the Bartender Sim genre of ADV always comes with some degree of human drama, and tavern talk is no outlier--but because there is a Whole Tabletop Campaign going on outside your doors, you should expect to run into a lot more life-and-death drama in the mix than your average cozy game. a further aspect of this is that the drinks you serve will grant your adventurer buddies buffs, and when they're about to head out on a quest, what buffs they have will determine how they approach said quest... and perhaps even whether those quests succeed or fail...... tavern talk's endearing cast is bolstered by fun dialogue and an emotional story, and by the game's peppy soundtrack and colorful art direction. the solid black chiaroscuro aspects to the shading remind me warmly of the good ole classic n64 zeldas, and all the lovely variation in character design as well as the strong prop design shares vibes with psychopomp resource management sim spiritfarer (speaking of games that will bully you with food you can't eat and also make you cry A Lot). plus the game has its own original setting rather than using any preexisting tabletop game setting, so if you're a sicko for worldbuilding you're going to have a lot of fun learning all the little bits of lore to be found! and, if you're a tabletop enjoyer yourself, there are a whole bunch of dlc that are geared towards letting you play around in gentle troll's sandbox... tbh i did not expect this game to hit so hard (they are Not kidding about those grief-related tags) but i enjoy those kinds of themes and am extremely glad that tavern talk does not pull its punches. extremely good experience, fully recommend getting all the endings if you play, and then picking up the prequel if you like it................................................. (extremely solicitous eye contact)
