Original (10/21): Tavern Talk has proven to be one of the more recently popular visual novels on Kickstarter. In less than a day, it was funded and the project is more than double its €20,000 goal. A Switch stretch goal was also reached, so we’ll be seeing it in 2024.
As for what to expect, Tavern Talk is a D&D inspired visual novel in which players run a tavern in a fantasy world. Drinks that are served can change the customer’s destiny forever while rumors can be turned into heroic quests for patrons.
Here’s a full overview with more information:
You walk into a tavern… and get to work! You are the owner of the Wayfarer’s Inn, a popular watering hole in the fantasy land of Asteria.
