Rating: 8.4/10 The Fairytale of DEATH is a dark and atmospheric adventure that blends fairytale-inspired storytelling with unsettling horror and mysterious exploration. The game creates a strange and often disturbing world filled with eerie environments, cryptic characters, and a story that gradually reveals its darker side. Rather than relying solely on traditional horror elements, it builds tension through its atmosphere, visual design, and the feeling that something is constantly lurking beneath the surface. One of the game's strongest aspects is its distinctive presentation. The combination of dark fairytale aesthetics, unsettling locations, and mysterious storytelling gives the game a unique identity and makes exploration particularly engaging. The sense of mystery encourages players to pay attention to their surroundings and piece together what is happening, while the darker moments effectively create an uncomfortable and sometimes genuinely creepy atmosphere. The game also benefits from its unusual premise, which helps it stand out from more conventional horror adventures. Although some sections can feel slower than others and the gameplay may not offer as much depth as p…

It’s very boring

I will try not to be harsh, as this game is dedicated to someone who has passed (I assume) but the game itself can hardly be called a game. It's pretty much a visual novel with some choices thrown in, and VERY slow moving text. Plus the UI is really not great in the fact I didn't notice I could accelerate the text until starting over. There are far better ways to have visual novels like this, and I feel a lack of options (especially for volume or saving) is a huge oversight.

Игра 'The Fairytale of DEATH' - это мрачная и захватывающая визуальная новелла, глубоко погружающая в мир смерти и потусторонних сил. Сюжет затягивает с первых минут, предлагая игроку сложный моральный выбор, влияющий на судьбу главного героя и окружающих его персонажей. Визуальный стиль выполнен в приглушенных тонах, идеально передающих атмосферу безысходности и обреченности. Музыкальное сопровождение создает давящую и тревожную обстановку, усиливая эффект от происходящих событий. Персонажи проработаны до мелочей, каждый обладает своей историей и мотивацией, что делает их живыми и запоминающимися. Диалоги написаны грамотно и интересно, раскрывая характер персонажей и углубляя понимание мира. Несмотря на мрачную тематику, игра оставляет после себя глубокие размышления о жизни, смерти и ценности каждого мгновения. 'The Fairytale of DEATH' - это не просто игра, это интерактивная история, способная затронуть самые сокровенные уголки души. Рекомендуется всем любителям мрачных и атмосферных визуальных новелл.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
