Tales from the Road

Tales from the Road is a slice of life interactive fiction game with a furry theme. The game features a story about a disgruntled contract worker whose grown bored of their work. The first chapter of the story features an introduction to our core cast of characters and explores the player character�s (PC) dissatisfaction with their current situation. The second chapter expands upon the relationships and backstory of the PC and introduces an important story aspect which will be heavily expanded upon in the future. The script for the story is currently 20,000+ words long, with 2 of the chapters being completed, and the 3rd being about halfway finished. Total playtime should be around 2 - 3 hours.

The gameplay is quite simple. The game is entirely text-based and is played from a command window environment. You can navigate the world using the usual commands of �north�, �south� �west� �east� 'talk' and by typing the name of the thing you are trying to interact with. There�s no combat or anything like that, making this game very story driven. There just wasn�t really a place for a combat system given the story I�m trying to tell.

This game is mostly safe for work. There is swearing, but it's casual.

This is an early version of the game. Bugs might happen, there might be some odd design issues. If you encounter either of those things just let me know on Itch.io, on GitHub or on Twitter and I�ll do my best to try and fix them. Feel free to post any feedback or suggestions on those pages as well.

Well, I think that�s about it. If you want more info on the project check out the GitHub page, or the devlog page on Itch.io. I try to post some insight into my writing and development process every so often on those pages.

Hope you enjoy the game!
