Creepy Tale

Unequivocally a love-doodle to the exquisite work of master monster maker Edward Gorey. Wordlessly the game takes you through mysterious woods filled with all manner of evocative monstrosities in search of your abducted brother. Just as the drawings are very simplified versions of Gorey's masterpieces of surrealist ink crosshatching and watercolors, the gameplay is a greatly simplified version of a point-and-click puzzle game. And the emphasis is deeply on the word "puzzle", because it is all clicking and virtually no pointing during the whole experience. In fact you don't even use your mouse. You walk, you jump, you interact when allowed. Most of what you do in each chapter is walk to find interactive spots, click to use them, and then try to figure out what is the right sequence of actions to take next time that won't get you killed again. Although the game includes some puzzling answers to answerable puzzles, most solutions can be understood right away and implemented with good timing. But know this, your best tools in getting to the extremely nearby end will not be logic and insight but trial, error, and a system of very kind checkpoints. Creepy Tale is a nice and simple adventure that sets you on a journey to explore mood more than a place that can be recommended only after one understands it is rather like the ethereal forest inhabitans you can spot hidding in the background: It is fleeting, intriguing, and also a bit insubstantial.

The kid will scratch his chin wondering what to do for 5 whole seconds if you Z on something that does nothing. Which would be FINE if there wasn't parts of this game where you have LESS than 5 seconds to move before you die. In some places the next step in the puzzle doesn't make any sense. For example there is a fire you put out with WATER but you still have to use a stick to move the remains. WHY? To avoid getting burned? IT IS WET. There are times when you KNOW what the next step is and will see the item you kknow you need but when you try to take it, nothing happens because it's not THAT item, it's the OTHER item that is THE SAME ITEM but without the hit box. There is no settings or controls section in the menu so be sure your sound is right before you start. Everything is keyboard controls which I kindd of get because it's simple but it begs the question why is there no option to click things if it's just a matter of Z? Which brings me to my next key point there are no options to customize controls. If you NEED custom controls because you are disabled, or can't use a keyboard for any reason, or do not have a gaming mouse, AVOID THIS GAME. If you have a lot of patience and none of what I mentioned above is a deal breaker, then go ahead and buy it on sale. It has an element of fun in trying to avoid death, figuring out the puzzles and watching the story unfold. The visuals are nice and feel very story like. There aren't any jarring jerky animations that makek you feel motion sick but if you fall far enough your eye does feel caught off guard. I give this a better rating than some of the side scrolling puzzle games out there but the chin scrathing thing that gets you killed for its length alone is what gives this game a less than 3 star rating.

You will walk through a strange forest in a storytelling atmosphere, accompanied by highly successful puzzles. No dialogue, the game makes you understand the story only through the visual, a great feat that accompanies the great artistic work. The drawings are fine: Forgotten the well-known codes of video games, here you will be in something else, a little disoriented for some. Without the highlighting around the objects, you sometimes have to look hard to find a small pebble. The character won't cross the screen to pick up a mushroom, you have to be in the right place to perform an action, but it's acceptable! Very courtyard: The dead are not punitive so take advantage of it to test and find the solution by yourself, to enjoy the game fully. Don't spoil yourself by looking at a solution, which will take away a few minutes of play. But a puzzle is really hard to find in episode 6, the game could be more enjoyable with a more visible detail. Really enjoyable, if only this game was longer. Thanks for this little treasure. I absolutely want "Creepy Tale 2" safe GOG and Linux!

i think this game is very good but chapter is little less maybe more complicated
