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….

Buggy, but awesome

Even after release the game has a lot of bugs which take a lot from the experience. Other than that it's fantastic though. It's incredible that such a small staff made such a gem. I love you guys. This is exactly the kind of game I wanted - violence free, very pretty and engaging.

Nice Adventure with beautiful world

Very charming characters and a beautiful world, also I would really like to have the soundtrack. Not easy since the world is detailed and what you need to find is not easyly presented to you. But it has a nice "help" systems build into the story and world that kind of helps, but most of the time does not feel like a simple "resolve this for me" button. Sadly the end is, gameplay wise, out of the style of the game and due to bugs, very frustrating. The Story is still good but you get distracted from it through the last "scene". All in all a really nice and detailed game, but Bugs in the later third of the game do hinder the experience.

Camera issues but very fun.

I've been having lots of trouble with the glitchy camera system. When going into small areas the camera will zoom in and bounce around often getting stuck in walls. But besides those rare moments the play control is great. Fun story and a beautiful castle to explore.

cute, alright

Got it to run, had some issues with scaling/mouse movement like other reviews. Admire the concept, art and world - but the gameplay gets aggravating quickly. Stealth is ok, kind of assumed that would get old quick. I hate the handholding most games do these days, but the quests will have you chasing your tail without looking up answers. Not sure if I miss lines of text somewhere? Even if that's the case I feel like the quest log could hint where to go. Reached a part where you're supposed to talk to someone, but they're not there. Search up and down for ever, finally look it up and apparently it's a time of day thing. Must have teleported as soon as I got to where I'm supposed to go since the guard had new dialogue after exiting and doesn't let me back in. Had a guard follow me to a new area and didn't go back to his original one, broke the AI trying to navigate. Don't think I'm going to finish it. Not a game for me.

An indie made with love

I highly recommend. It has: - rich lore - atmospheric OST - charismatic characters - good sense of humour - well captured fantasy vibe - main character is a minstrel and acts like it - other characters react to our actions, as well as to our in-use equipment
