About Long Ears and Short Tales
Long Ears and Short Tales is an adult RPG Maker adventure by TheMightyCanhead, using 2D CG visuals and turn-based battles. You play a young man from Silverwood, trained by his grandfather after his father did not return from a war against the god Karn and his Grogoth horde. The setting follows a hard-fought past of regrets, guilt, loss, and conflict, then moves into a rebuilding land where gold, glory, and romance await.
The current build is the v3 Demo, released March 24, 2026. It runs on Windows, is in English, and is uncensored. The changelog identifies this version as an initial release, so the latest update presents the demo itself rather than a completed final game. The build is a fantasy adventure with adult themes.
Developer's description
Spoiler: Synopsis The past can bring with it great hardships. Regrets. Guilt. Loss. War. 20 years ago, your father and grandfather would face against the greatest threat our people has ever seen: an army led by a god. The deity of strength, Karn, led forth a mighty and terrible horde of Grogoths into battle against the Silverwood kingdom. And though the knights of our people were staunch against the wave of terror, willpower alone would not see us through to tomorrow. A desperate gambit led the final forces on both sides into a field of death. The two armies, whittled down from the fierce battles leading to this climax, brought forth their champions. Your father and grandfather led renowned regiments against the Avatar of Karn himself... And won. But... your father never returned. You trained well under your grandfather, clearly determined to make sure whatever happened to your father wouldn't happen to you. And now you stand on the threshold of an uncertain world: cities rebuilding, wounds being licked, and more than ever opportunity presents itself around every corner. What will YOU do, in this war torn land ripe for gold and glory?
