Tales [PC]

I really enjoyed this game. Fully voiced and featuring beautiful pixel-art sceneries, we play as a librarian who can travel inside the books of various famous tales while trying to overcome an Evil he accidentally unleashed. I recommend!

El juego está muy cuidado, sorprendentemente para un juego que cuesta 2€ a precio completo. Buena historia, completamente doblado con muchas voces diferentes, bonitos escenarios... Se inspira en las aventuras gráficas de los 90, para bien y para mal. No hay puzzles excesivamente raros, pero es lenta, tienes que dar muchas vueltas innecesarias, pixel hunting, la mecánica de que sólo puedes llevar un material entre libros es horrenda. Tiene muchos errores muy graves. Si te gustan las AV antiguas, lo podrás soportar, y al precio que tiene, hay que ser comprensivo.

Tales [PC] is a nostalgic point-and-click adventure that feels like a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of classic adventure gaming. Inspired heavily by the style of older LucasArts and Sierra titles, the game combines mythology, literature, humor, and puzzle-solving into an imaginative journey centered around magical books and legendary worlds. The story begins with Alfred Walsh, an ordinary librarian whose quiet first day at work turns disastrous after an ancient force known as Oblivion escapes into the library. Suddenly thrown into a crisis involving the destruction of stories themselves, Alfred must travel through famous myths and fairy tales in order to restore balance before countless legends are erased forever. The premise is one of the game’s strongest qualities because it allows the adventure to constantly reinvent itself. Rather than limiting players to a single fantasy setting, Tales uses the library as a gateway into different literary and mythological worlds. Each new chapter introduces unique environments, characters, and puzzles inspired by famous stories from history and folklore. Players may find themselves interacting with figures from Arthurian legends, Norse …

The "Blame the Player" defense

What a great consept! I loved the idea and the story of this game and if you love books, you'll love it too. The puzzles are great the voice acting impresive. My only problem was that the music was a bit higher that I'd like it to be.

This game was fantastic. Challenging yes, but the way they didn't dumb down puzzles to be easy just to sell more copies is extremely appreciated, even if it did frustrate me at times when it was unclear though dont worry theres a subtle hint system. The story was amazing, and weaved together lots of classical literature characters in a truly unique way that meant even if you hadn't read the books you learned something interesting. First game in decades that has actually taught me something, and even has made me want to go away and read some of the stories, which is truly astonishing. I and am proud to have completed this one since the completion rate seems is shamefully low for such an amazing game.
