The only other person here—a silver-tongued mage named Ilar—claims to be saving your life through a desperate ritual. Yet, their story keeps changing and you keep dying. This is Chronicles of Taldun: the Remainder, a dark fantasy visual novel where death is not the end—it's how you learn the truth. ![54_nearkiss_signed_mr](https://www.squareweaselstudio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/54_nearkiss_signed_mr.jpg?width=1378&height=1920&name=54_nearkiss_signed_mr.jpg) #### Play as Vyn, a High Magus trapped with Ilar in a tower that's tearing itself apart. Each death reveals another fragment of memory, another piece of the mystery. Were you colleagues? Lovers? Enemies? The deeper you dig, the less certain you become, and the more you realize Ilar may not be trying to save you at all. Read between the lines. Explore for clues. Use hands-on deduction to break the vicious circle and set them both free.  ![02_bloodletter_signed_hr](https://www.squareweaselstudio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/02_bloodletter_signed_hr.jpg?width=2532&height=3840&name=02_bloodletter_signed_hr.jpg) ##     What Awaits You: - #### 172,000 words of bittersweet psychological horror (8-40 hours) - **Over 500 choices, some more regrettable than others.** - **50+ false endings and 3 true endings—dying teaches you how to live** - **Multiple romance paths with a nonbinary love interest (optional, fully avoidable)** - **Death-loop narrative structure where every playthrough reveals new layers**  “Square Weasel Studios has delivered an understated hit of an interactive visual novel, and I highly recommend it for people interested in that style of gaming experience.” #### **9.5/10** **[Chalgyr's Game Room](https://chalgyr.com/2022/04/review-pc-chroniclesoftaldun-theremainder.html)** “A gorgeously illustrated choose-your-own-adventure game that is filled with enigmatic characters and an alluring storyline that will have you just as wrapped in its mysteries as the protagonist is.” **8/10** [**Gaming Cypher**](https://gamingcypher.com/chronicles-of-taldun-the-remainder-review-for-steam/) “The game’s poignant storytelling experience stays with you once you reach its tender true ending.
