Chronicles of Taldun: the Remainder

A dark-fantasy tale where death isn't the end but the path to the truth. Two magi trapped in a collapsing tower must unravel a deadly mystery. Each death reveals another piece of the puzzle of their shared past. For fans of House in Fata Morgana and literary dark fantasy.

About the game:

You wake in a collapsing tower with no memory. 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.

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.

What gaming press had to say:

“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.”

“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

“The game’s poignant storytelling experience stays with you once you reach its tender true ending. This VN is more than worth it, given the thoughtful messages and emotions it conveys.”
GOTY Editors Awards – RPG

What players had to say:

"...this turned out to be, hands down, one of the best visual novel I have ever played."

-Starsong

"...When I was finished, I felt like I had just attended the funeral of a close relative, had been through a devastating breakup and reconciled with a dear friend all at the same time. This game hurts , but in that really good way that leaves you emotionally healed and ready to move on."

-Brombeer

"...Grief as bountiful as the Seas, guilt so immeasurable that simply longs to be absolved, loathing that exists in the same vein as tenderness in the face of truth...

And at the end of it all, there is kindness too; a respite from everything, as long as you are patient. I promise, as do all the others that braved these waters before: it is all worth it."
