A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Spend some time in the village of Tall Tales, helping out a few locals – presumably to make up for a misspent youth!

Turns out you’re still no angel, and despite your willingness to embrace village life and get on with your neighbours, you simply can’t help telling the odd porky-pie!

You might only be trying to save the villagers’ feelings with your white lies, but as you get deeper and deeper in, could these tall tales come back to haunt you?!

Enjoy an easy-going mini adventure in an open world village. Talk to the residents, explore and complete simple tasks. You can expect British humour, dubious voice acting, quirky original music and the art, well, let’s just say we tried really hard!

Day 1 Hotfixes
(v1.0 updated with critical bugfixes, any content changes will be added as v1.1)

  • Mismatched id's causing missing dialogue lines.
  • Scripting bugs, talking to the wrong person at the wrong time caused glitched objectives.
  • Objectives not clearing properly, preventing end game.
  • Resolution control added to options, defaults to "near 1080p". (previously defaulted to highest possible which on 4K laptops rendered the game nearly unplayable)
  • UI misconfigured and preventing scrollbar from appearing on options, objectives or dialogue choices.
  • Pausing game during dialogue choices caused game breaking issues around control state.
  • Inverting mouse vertical caused subtitles to disappear.
  • Added executable icon.
  • Added 'Safe Mode' for Controls after user reports of issues.
  • Removed XInput entirely.

Please Note:

I think we might have made the farmer slighty too hard to find! Head to the green and see if you can spot any barn like buildings, you'll have to go down a dirt track to get to him...
