What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are offering Early Access because Gauchesca is being developed as a chapter-based, narrative experience. Releasing the game in stages allows us to deliver new story content over time while continuing development.

Early Access also gives us the opportunity to gather player feedback, refine gameplay mechanics—especially around Truco—and improve the overall experience as new chapters are released.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate that Gauchesca will remain in Early Access for approximately 1 to 2 years. This timeframe may be adjusted depending on the pace of development of new chapters and community feedback.

Our goal is to release the full version once the main story and gameplay mechanics are fully developed and polished.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version of Gauchesca to include all story chapters, offering a complete narrative experience from beginning to end.

During Early Access, the game will expand with new chapters, characters, and encounters. We also plan to refine and improve gameplay mechanics—especially Truco—based on community feedback.

The final version is intended to deliver a more complete and polished experience, with all narrative content available and a higher overall level of polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes a playable initial experience focused on the core Truco mechanics. The available content at this stage is limited, but the core gameplay is already implemented. We plan to expand the game with new chapters, characters, and encounters throughout development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Planeamos aumentar el precio gradualmente a medida que se agreguen nuevos capítulos, contenido y mejoras durante el desarrollo. El precio final reflejará una experiencia más completa y pulida.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to involve the community by gathering player feedback throughout development. Their input will help us improve gameplay mechanics—especially Truco—as well as balance and the overall experience.

We will also take community suggestions into account when developing new chapters, characters, and encounters, with the goal of creating a more polished and engaging experience.”

About This Game

Gauchesca is a narrative-driven visual novel that blends Argentine mythology with the traditional card game Truco, inspired by classic gauchesque literature.

Learn how to play Truco while interacting with a variety of characters and discovering their stories within a supernatural tournament.

You play as Martina Chapanay, a legendary gaucha forced to participate in a Truco tournament organized by San La Muerte. In this challenge, each match is a duel of strategy and deception: the winner is granted a wish, while the loser loses their soul.

Throughout the tournament, you will face opponents inspired by Argentine mythology and literature, each with their own personality and playstyle.

Master the mechanics of Truco, bluff your rivals, and make strategic decisions that can change the outcome of each match. Every encounter presents new challenges that require you to adapt your tactics to survive.

The game features a unique hand-painted art style, inspired by traditional Argentine artwork, bringing its world and characters to life with a distinctive visual identity.
