Ghost of a Tale

I'd had my eye on this game for years, but I never found the time. Honestly, I didn't really know what to expect. I knew it was a stealth game, and I'm not a big fan of stealth when the only option is stealth with no other alternative. But I couldn't have been more wrong. The game is forgiving; there are tons of places to hide, distraction tools, and even a guard disguise that lets you go anywhere undetected but you are not going to be fast. What I liked most, without a doubt, is the charm and care that went into its development. You'll grow fond of Tilo and all the prison's inhabitants. They all have compelling personalities and surprisingly deep character development. The game's "map" is small, and before you know it, you'll know every nook and cranny as you search for disguises and do errands for Kerold, Silas, and especially Gusto and Fatale. It has an EXCELLENT level design, and I don't want to compare it to Souls games or Miyazaki, BUT IT IS. It's very, very cheap these days and a bit short, but it doesn't need to be longer. It's ideal for when you don't know what to play or need a break after finishing a long game. AND BEST OF ALL, I just found out that Ghost …

I ended up liking this game much more than my initial hour with it suggested. My recommendation is that you stick to it until a point where you can explore the castle area more freely - this will require that you find a complete disguise. After that the game changes character completely, from a somewhat frustrating stealth experience to a light RPG. Exploration of this well-designed, interconnected game world is where the experience shines, in my opinion. Also, don't worry about the laundry list of quests that start up in those early hours - I found them overwhelming, but the vast majority can and will be completed as you explore the world. You really won't have to go much out of your way to get the most out of the story and worldbuilding. My only real complaint is that the story straight up does not resolve by the end, but the beats it hits in the meantime are interesting enough, and the twists and turns exciting enough, that I found it easy to forgive.

Another mouse game classic, with great atmosphere and lore , well written characters , i would suggest to play it alone without any youtube videos, better solving puzzles and discover things by yourself , i would highly recommend it and glad we will receive a second game!

great game. felt like childhood

Well, this is the kind of game that reminds me why I love indie games and game development. It's not perfect, it's cheap, it's rough around the edges in places, and it's incredibly dark. But it's good. It's worth the money, and I want to see a sequel. But the final fight sucks.

This was gifted to me and i ate all of it in one sitting. I definitely needed help and watched videos when i got stuck, which happened more than once, but it's a very interesting stealth/exploration game overall. Charming. Waiting eagerly for the sequel!
