The Ballad of Beauregard Jones

The Ballad of Beauregard Jones is a visual novel for players who want a period-flavored tale of gambling and romance with a strong adult edge. The tone leans toward Southern riverboat charm mixed with frank, grown-up drama.

Story

Their journey begins with one last day on shore before boarding the Riverboat Princess, a day Beau means to use to scrape together extra money by any means he can find. What starts as a simple plan opens into a longer tale of gambling, revenge, and love as the two make their way down the Mississippi.
