Description
Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. The game takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests.

You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love….

relaxing and easy stealth/exploration

The game is easy compared to other stealth game, relaxing exploration and fun dialogues. A chill game to pass some time.

Slick Game

Keeping iot brief - this is a cute game, looks beautiful, controls are good, and the mechanics are quick to learn. A quest log helps keep track of your to-dos, and the sandbox you play in is a tight maze of corridors, lisfts and secret passages that allow you to move between areas seemlessly witrhout any loading. I was not expecting the beautiful day-night cycles, different "armor" sets, and skills to be learned. The only downside, really, is the map; I find that I get turned around quite a bit, and there is a lot of back tracking to be done. Thankfully you unlock shortcuts to ease lengthy traversals from place to place as you get further in.

Innovant RPG

Great game, with great textures and ambiance. The story is great, the map as well and the gameplay stay pretty simple to understand. There is no violence, and even if I love The Witcher serie/ Dark souls I find this very nice to play. A game for everyone. Please keep this game up !

Great adventure for fans of Redwall :)

I grew up reading Mossflower and Redwall. Loved getting a chance to live the life of Tilo the mouse. From the screenshots you can see the world is beautifully rendered. But I was also very impressed with the writing and story. Took me about 20 hours to finish (completed all the secondary quests). Had to use hints/spoilers a few time to progress, and I found myself easily getting confused about how to get back to a previous location, but apart from that I loved it. If you like story and exploration games I recommend spending some time at Dwindling Heights :)
