Gentle Troll Expands Tavern Talk

Indie developer Gentle Troll Entertainment has announced a new DLC for its cozy visual novel Tavern Talk. The Würzburg-based company is adding a new storyline to its "very positively" received game.

On 20 June, Gentle Troll Entertainment released Tavern Talk for PC and Switch, a visual novel about running a tavern in a D&D-inspired fantasy world. The game was well received, receiving 89 per cent positive user reviews on Steam (n=853). On 12 November, the story continues with Tavern Talk: Tempest Tantrum, first on Steam and later on Switch. The first story DLC takes place a year and a half after the events of the main game and features a new character, new potions, and more than three hours of content.

Michel Wacker, Founder, CEO & Chief Options Finder at Gentle Troll Entertainment, wrote the following on social media: "We are incredibly humbled and simply blown away by receiving this honor based on a combined vote of the jury and players. Never in my life would I have imagined to take home an award from gamescom. But sometimes even your wildest dreams are being surpassed.
