Gentle Troll Entertainment is eagerly awaiting the launch of Tavern Talk on Steam and Switch on 20 June. The cosy visual novel is now on over 145,000 wishlists on PC. That's far more than expected.

Gentle Troll Entertainment is very excited about the release of Tavern Talk. Their cosy visual novel will be released on 20 June for PC/Mac on Steam and on Switch. The game is on more than 145,000 Steam wishlists, a number the studio never dreamed of. The company has also set up its own official key store.

In 2014, Gentle Troll Entertainment was founded. They have delivered more than 20 educational games of different genres, developed for PC, web and mobile in collaboration with industry clients. Now they want to develop games for the entertainment market, starting with Tavern Talk, which will be self-published. Gentle Troll has partnered with Future Friends Games for marketing support.

Gentle Troll Entertainment has received funding from FFF Bayern and the budget of the Free State of Bavaria for prototype development. They also received national funding from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (131,780 Euros). A Kickstarter campaign also raised 156,335 Euros from a total of 3,461 backers.

Description of the game: "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. But you're no ordinary barkeep. Be it a potion of seething fury or prancing swords, the drinks you serve can change your customer's destiny forever. You can also turn the rumours you hear at work into heroic quests for your patrons!"
