Evaluation

Tailor Tales is a free-to-play otome visual novel that has been receiving new story routes and Plus DLC on an ongoing basis since its 2019 launch. Seven routes are now complete: Neil, Dimitri, Caine, James, Gray, Aiden, and Eeyok. The most recent major addition was Eeyok's full route, which launched on January 23, 2026, followed by his Plus DLC on April 15, 2026. The game's store description explicitly states it "will have 8 routes in the future" with "currently 7 completed routes," directly confirming that at least one more route is still coming. The January 23, 2026 news post confirms Zex's route is actively in development, with his first chapter already playable in-game and additional chapters being released monthly through Patreon. A January 16, 2026 post confirms that Quin's route is also being written by a separate writer, and the developer explicitly stated "Tailor Tales will still continue to be worked on." Plus DLC for future routes are also expected once those routes reach completion. The developer announced a new companion project, Tailor Tales Cottina, in January 2026, but explicitly stated this does not affect Tailor Tales' ongoing development — both projects are described as able to co-exist.

About this game

Design clothing and romance a guy of your choice. Tailor Tales is an otome that has you playing a female fashion designer who runs her own boutique. Set in a fictional European country, her life gets complicated when she meets a certain guy in a fateful encounter. Throughout the game she'll be required to design clothes for clients to earn enough gold to purchase the next chapter of the story.

Customize your main character's looks and choose whether to be 'fierce' or 'kind' with your guy. Perhaps you'd like to kiss him first, or would rather he take the lead; it's all your choice and there are no bad endings! Each guy has his own unique route so you can jump right in and experience a completely different story.

Features

  • Design your own clothes

  • Customize the main character and dress her up

  • Decorate your boutique

  • Read romantic stories about a bachelor of your choosing

Tailor Tales will have 8 routes in the future and will get updated with each new finished route–there are currently 7 completed routes!

The love interests

Tailor Tales is all about the romance, so here's an introduction to the eligible guys:

Neil is wealthy, prickly, and doesn't really want to interact with you. When you met Neil in your childhood–a memory he's very fond of–he mistook you for a boy. Now that you're an adult, he doesn't quite know how to deal with you. Be whisked away in his awkward charms, visiting masquerade balls and the opera.

Complete

Dimitri is the younger brother of your ex that cheated on you. When Dimitri is a college student and looking for a room to rent, you somehow end up inviting him to live at your boutique. He's sweet, easily flustered, and loves to cook for you. But he's also 4 years younger than you! Maybe living together will bring you closer.

Complete

Caine is a slippery thief with no tact. When you see him getting bullied at his part time job, you take pity on him and help him out. While he can be loud, rude, and unable to really express how he feels, Caine just needs a little push in the right direction–even thieves can get lonely.

Complete

In an alternate reality where people have superpowers, you design costumes for superheroes. James has the ability to fly but one day he literally crashes in front of your boutique. James looks like he'd rather throw you off a skyscraper than listen to you. He's stoic and rarely expresses his emotions. But then, you get kidnapped...

Complete

Aiden is chatty, kind of flirty, and makes you laugh–online, that is. You meet Aiden playing a popular online game and you want to meet up. Except when you do finally meet him, you realize... you've been catfished! In reality, Aiden is a bumbling fool whose social anxiety forces him to keep running away from your wrath.

Note: Only the first several chapters for Aiden's route are free to play.

Complete

This smug specimen is Gray, your rival gang leader in high school. Except he doesn't know that you're the leader and ends up taking a liking to you. Years later, you meet Gray again when you've started your own boutique. He demands you rent out your basement to him, so he can run his 'board gaming group'. Except you start hearing strange sounds coming from the basement... Once a delinquent, always a delinquent?

Complete

Set in the 18th century, you are engaged to the duke... but suddenly, you're executed? You wake up to find you've been sent back in time before your execution. Immediately you appoint Eeyok as your guard, as he was the only person who tried to save you from your execution. Eeyok is wary of you and your intentions, but he will sacrifice his life to save yours.

Complete

Zex is a no-nonsense kind of guy and very closed off. First, his younger brother breaks into your store, and then Zex offers to fix it for you. Soon you notice something is wrong with their home life... Zex is nowhere to be found at night, their mother is never around, and his little brother is home alone. Is Zex doing criminal work at night to make ends meet?

Currently in development. ETA 2027/2028
