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….

Slow but fun

I had a lot of fun avoiding guards and unlocking shortcuts all over the fort. The guard AI is quite simple so it will be easy to avoid problems, but the game is mostly a chill stealth game.

Nice story,Poor gameplay

Story of this game is decent enough,but the gameplay constantly drags the fun I was having with the game.

Nothing hooks the player

It really tries to be something. But nothing is grabbing my attention and earning my time. It's way too complicated for what it is and that complexity is not inviting. It has a really empty feeling. If voices (even grunting sounds) or proper ambience sounds were added it would feel better. The nail in the coffin is the annoying busy work. This must hold the record for most unique keys/locks in a hallway. I played Blender game engine games over a decade ago that have rougly the same gameplay as this.

Great Start!

It's only a early access, it doesn't take long to finish, but it's an amazing experience with quality graphics and inspiration. Love finding the secret locations, they are very rewarding and not frustratingly hidden like other games. Very nice and balanced story. Pretty easy mind, but that's not always a bad thing. Can't wait for the next part!

Great stealth adventure

It's a great adventure, and absolutely worth your time. It's more of an adventure game, with stealth elements, in a small but fleshed out area, that has secrets and interwoven paths everywhere. Everything works well together to make a fun experience.
