Highly recommend this game. Wonderful story and it has PUPPETS!!! I played this game 3 months ago and I still keep thinking about it and wanting to replay it to 100% it. Even my shooter game enjoying chad friends like the game we had fun each taking turns voicing the characters Not to spoil the ending in anyway but it made me cry and I keep wanting to make art or something for it. I want this game to get more recognition because original games with such a style seem so rare especially from new smaller studios.3 found this helpful
[h3][url=store.steampowered.com/app/1904880/Once_Upon_A_Puppet/]Once Upon A Puppet[/url] delivers much better theatrical themes and charming story elements than gameplay execution.[/h3] Jump and glide to explore theatrically inspired environments. Handle items and move objects to complete puzzles and platforming sections. Talk to numerous characters for flavor, or the occasional quest giver to obtain simple tasks usually leading to props or stained glass collectibles. Find spools to earn new abilities like double jump. Repair fractured scenes. Clear goo with light and go full Alan Wake against darkness. Enjoy beautifully crafted puppeteering cutscenes for story progression. While my personal appreciation feels limited to the general idea more than the game itself, I still find it well worth playing. The entire operation turned out to be slower paced than I imagined from the relatively action-oriented trailer, which lends itself well to appreciate the scenery and ambiance.

the gameplay was fun. I enjoyed the puzzles more, not too hard not too easy. perfect story and scenes. 10/101 found this helpful
Really beautiful art direction / background score / story. The mechanics / puzzles fall apart a bit in the latter half of the game. Excited to see what's next from the dev. SHOCKING how low the player count is based on how striking and polished the game is.
The difficulties vary a lot across the levels. You may get frustrated, but the storyline is great—highly recommended to others.
really cozy and comforting game
