Hey, sorry for the late reply. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the demo so much and sorry we've been so quiet here lately.
Handling the various platforms is a lot to handle for a small (self-publishing) indie team such as ourselves so we simply didn't have the capacity to tend to all opportunities.
Happy to let you know that we're now taking a closer look at itch now especially since we do have quite a bit of TTRPG related content to share alongside the game. Expect some news soon!
Hi MalkavinElder, indeed, while Coffee Talk was one of our great inspirations to create this game, we are not affiliated with Fami or the reast of the dev team behind that gem of a game in any way. We've met the Toge Productions team at Gamescom back in 2023 – a super exciting moment for us – and ended up bundling Tavern Talk with Coffee Talk Episode 2 over on Steam. Such an honor to receive this kind of support from of one of our greatest icons. <3
You can already buy the Tavern Talk on Steam and Switch BTW but we are currently looking at the potential of itch again, so expect some updates here soon. :)
Hey Sissix, so happy to read this and sorry for the late reply. We've been super busy working on the standalone prequel, Tavern Talk Stories: Dreamwalker, which you can already wishlist on Steam and follow its Kickstarter campaign to unlock pre-campaign achievements!
And you might be excited to hear that we've picked up working on our strategy for itch.io again. We see there is a strong visual novel and TTRPG community here we'd love to engage with more. There will be more updates and exciting news coming soon so keep your eyes peeled!
Thank you so much for your detailed response! I'll make sure to let the team know 💜but I also wanted to let you know that the demo currently available is not the final version of the game (and especially the text), we have somebody on hand who does an English editorial for the final version of the Game. The quality of the writing and the game overall is essential to us.😊
Hey Jellyfish, that sounds so lovely that you are playing the Game with your daughter 💜 if you have questions or suggestions we would love to hear them! We have a discord server and channel for this reason if you want you can join there: https://discord.gg/dcRbYHWHMs 😊
we will publish the game in German since we are from Germany and we are currently looking into other languages besides that, but at the moment it is hard to say which languages we will cover in the end. :)
I understand your concern, but since we are a small indie studio we are trying a lot of things out and this preorder shop is just one way to support us and the game in the end. That doesn't mean we will only release it on Steam or the Nintendo E-Shop and are also looking into other revenues. But if you want to support us before the release, in advance so to speak, this is a possibility.
Also some of the Bundles, like the Lore bundle or the TTRPG bundle which doesn't contain the main game, but a lot of cool DRM-Free digital goodies, which could be worth checking out.
Oh that shouldn't be happening. Maybe you wanna send us a bug report ( with screenshots if possible and your gaming set up) in our discord: https://discord.gg/4xNmCAbRk9
The demo is free but the final game will cost something. Since there is a whole team behind the game and a lot of work, we can't offer it for free. But it will be a fair price for a 10h + long game and a whole lot of story in it 💜

Unfortunately not 😅 Since there is a whole team behind the game and a lot of work, we can't offer it for free. But it will be a fair price for a 10h + long game and a whole lot of story in it 💜
