Travelers and Tales
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Play as an adventurer who seeks to make a living through solving quests and saving the day alongside their adventuring party. Inspired by high fantasy TTRPGs, work with your party to overcome obstacles and solve a fiendish mystery.
Chapter One: Maplerest
Your story begins along the winding road of Champion’s Way, where you lead your adventuring party into a small town in late autumn. There, what is at first a simple quest to find a missing woman in exchange for gold grows into more than you bargained for.
Your companions have their various strengths but you have the most important of all—you’re the one to talk to people, and make decisions for the group. Which ones will you make, and which will have consequences?
Chapter Two: Heartcliff
Your adventure grows as you arrive in the big city, with important information about potential danger that might arise. But you have a hard time convincing anyone except a new potential friend, who’s unravelling a conspiracy in the heart of Heartcliff.
The decisions grow more drastic—and be warned, some decisions may lead you and your party down a path of ruin and potentially a total party kill.

There is something infinitely tender and delicate in your games , which makes it impossible to avoid love for them. Maybe this is the harmony of music and graphics, maybe disguised poetry of the text. Some people call it talent.
I just adore all your games, but this one most of all. Secretly, I also hope that over time you will gain desire and inspiration for a new project)
This is one of the sweetest comments I've ever gotten! Thank you so much, this made my week!!
is this blind accessible?
Hi! Thanks for your comments! I tested this and all of my games on here, they're all made through Ren'py and all support the self voicing feature with the V key!
I very much enjoyed this game and ended up playing through all routes including romancing all the characters and friendship only route. I enjoyed them all but Elvoril is my favorite. I suspect Zaniri gives the best hugs and Elvoril the best cuddles :-) I would absolutely love another sequel. I have been a long time player of D&D and love games which bring in the feel of the tabletop game.
Thank you so much!! That means the world to me <3
Do you know if this game works with the Ren'Py self voicing feature? I'm a blind person, and this feature will make the game speak using the windows text to speech or the mac say command. Which version of Ren'Py is this vn developed in?
hi, thank you for your comment! I just tested it on Windows with the self voicing feature in Ren'Py and it seems to be working, but if there are issues please let me know. This was developed with renpy-7.4.9-sdk
Just finished my first playthrough and I really enjoyed the story. Each character had a distinct personality from the others, even the villagers. I liked that you didn't stick to stereotypes for each companion, but gave them skills outside the ones from their class. More than anything, I'm eager to play it again and pick different options. I would happily play sequels to this game with these characters and watch the relationships develop. Well done!
thank you so much for playing!
