CHANGELING TALE IS HERE!

After 7 years in the making, our 18+ TF-themed visual novel is out now!

Thank you for all your support and encouragement over the years, and for making the launch a huge success!

Today we are also launching our first official patch to the game, correcting the issues our first batch of players have found with the game (see the changelog below for the full listing).

If you have already purchased and downloaded Changeling Tale, you will need to download the game again to apply these fixes (unless you are using the Itch App, which should update your game automatically). We recommend not extracting on top of the old version of the game, delete the old folder and extract the new one (your saves and persistent data should be safe in your appdata folder).

Be sure to leave a review to let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy the game!
