You play as Roedahn, a barkeep running a bustling tavern in town.

Their name is Berdios.

Berd wants a drink.
Berd has 0 coins.
Berd will do whatever it takes to convince you.

Will you be charmed by this little magpie and serve them a glass on the house?

Another banger from the gang!! This was hands down the cutest game I've ever played ToT!!!!

The writing impeccable, Kylie's writing is such a comfort where it's not a chore to get to learn characters – instead you keep wanting they'd just smalltalk a little more cause you're so enganged.
Elina ofc knocked it out of the park with her designs for EVERY character and her artstyle is so perfect for such a cute game. (BERD AND ORLE ARE THE CUTEST I LOVE THEM ;_;)
Rumi's UI is always nice and clean, easy to look at and navigate – especially loved the lil speech bubbles for the choices and the lil menu beneath the textbox~
The music from Henri is a classic and for good reason, found myself just rocking from side to side to the music unconsciously.
AND LAST WOW WHAT A GREAT JOB FROM THE VOICE ACTORS!
They really brought the tavern alive and I must say the delivery of "Not frog legs, please!" Was hilarious, I had to replay it a few time to get all the laughs out of my system XD

Also I would go bankrupt if it meant I could give Berd all of the drinks he wanted. Please let me.

AWESOME

THANK YOU (it's especially funny since you have a frog profile picture 😭)

The music was very well adapted and fit perfectly with the atmosphere, and the sound effects contributed to an immersive experience. I also liked being able to adjust the ambience channel.

Overall, I really enjoyed the whole experience, including the technical aspects.
The characters are quite endearing, and the voices… damn, I wouldn’t even know where to start. I’ll just say I replayed several lines just to hear them again. It was a delight.

It left me with a really good feeling. Thank you for sharing it.

Wahhh I recognise you from BlueSky so hello!! On behalf of my team, thank you so much for playing A Song for A Swig!! 

You're not the only replaying voice lines over and over again 🤭 some lines are honestly too funny to only hear it once.

Aaaa very cool and amazing!

Berdios is very cute. I love the other side characters too. They are fun and the designs are great. The voice actors are amazing too. The tavern is very lively! One thing that I realized while trying to increase the volume is the game has both BGM and ambiance for the crowds. Very neat

Thank you for playing Altila!! The ambience volume sliders were actually a deliberate choice, I'm glad it works well >:3c

(also I see that you've also got an entry for NaNoRenO!! I'll be sure to check it out too!)
