Hey friends, this is NarraTruth Games.

Right now, we are holding ice-cold sodas, sitting next to the grocery store in the West Town. We can faintly hear the voices from the tram platform—new travelers have arrived in our little town.

That's right, NOOK FALL: West Town is officially out today!

Welcome and thank you all for your continued anticipation!

Get your ticket at 10% Off. Plus Extra Discounts in the Bundle!

NOOK FALL: West Town is priced a $13.99 USD, with a 10% launch discount for the first two weeks, bringing it down to $12.59 USD.

To celebrate our launch, we’re also thrilled to introduce the Time of Town² bundle! We've partnered with the charming town-themed game Whisper of the House to offer an additional 10% off.

📖 What is NOOK FALL: West Town?

NOOK FALL: West Town is a retro hand-drawn visual novel. It is a quiet little town full of fantasy. Here, all you need to do is:

• 🧣 Take over a corner grocery store and observe the passing travelers in your slow-paced daily life.

• 🚃 Hop on the tram weaving through the streets and alleys to hunt for treasures in unique shops.

• ☕ Listen to your neighbors chat about their daily lives, join a grand festival, and uncover stories that have been sealed away for thirty years.

It is perfect for a rainy afternoon when you just want to curl up on the sofa with a hot cup of coffee and enjoy some chill time.

If you have ever collected vintage picture books, you probably understand that sense of tranquility when turning the pages. That is exactly the feeling we want to recreate. In the game, we adopted a hand-drawn style with clean lines and colors, utilizing a retro, soft, and warm palette. We also put a lot of thought into the sound effects—the ringing of the bell when you push open the cafe door, the vibration of the tracks as the tram passes, and the sound of rain hitting the eaves.

We hope you can feel this immersion, as if you have truly moved into the town.

Coinciding with the Steam Storytelling Festival, if you are looking for games to slowly savor and quietly listen to, we welcome you to try ours!

💻 A Ready-to-go Journey for Windows and Mac!

Centered around a text-reading experience, NOOK FALL: West Town is incredibly easy to play—just use your mouse to advance dialogues, explore scenes, and make choices.

The hardware requirements are extremely low. It supports Mac OS at launch and runs smoothly on standard computers. With mouse mapping, it is also playable on the Steam Deck.

🛠️ Need a hand? Call the Town's Maintenance Crew!

Although we've patrolled the West Town's tram lines back and forth several times, there might still be surprises hiding around a corner that we missed.

If you encounter anything strange in the grocery store, the cafe, or on your tram ride, please let us know:

• Go to the main menu and click the Bug Report button in the bottom left corner to submit your issue.

• You can also contact us in the pinned bug report thread on the NOOK FALL: West Town Steam Community Discussions, or join our Discord. We will follow up and assist you as soon as possible.
