Do you want to romance...
A: an edgy, sulky sheriff who secretly likes to sew
B: a hotheaded, blunt sailor who is a bit of a kleptomaniac
C: ...some ancient entity? or an alien, or just some guy? You need to find out.

When you have so many characters in your visual novel, and now you're crying because you need to draw them all.

Some of the weirdest things in our weird western game:
- statue and robot in love
- that coffin (someone sleeps in there)
- snowy forest in the desert
- you (you fell here by a comet)

In Talewarden, you fall on a planet where the sun never sets. Now you must either restore time or find a way home. No pressure!
And don't forget to chat and flirt with your companions in your free time!

A giant woman and Renpy ghost girl visited our adventure visual novel. No more uninvited guests, please 🫣 weird west is already weird enough.

The dating profiles of the three romancable characters from our weird west visual novel.
They're somewhat inaccessible. They crave attention. They're afraid of love.

pov: you wanted to date a cute cowgirl in a weird west visual novel but:
-her bestfriend is a gun (she's aiming it at you)
-that's her ex
-that's her family

and she has the driest humor 🤠🏳️‍🌈🎮

Did you know that in Talewarden, you can shape your companions' relationships? Why mind your own business when you can influence others?
-Reunite past best friends
-Strengthen or weaken the gays' bonds
-Hook two lesbians up
-Turn rivals into found family trope
(Or don't!🩷)
June 30, 2025 at 3:44 PM
What will you talk about with your companions at the campfires?

-regrets
-existential crisis
-not fitting into your body (and the world)
-lesbian pining (a lot)
-desperation
-... paper?
-and many more!

Psst, do you like cats?

In Bucket Hat Cat we are ruled by Catrusia the relentless. One meow decides the fate of the whole studio.
She supervises the process of creating new art for Talewarden #visualnovel.
Do not disturb her... Or else (see the last picture)
