I was sold out the moment I saw the trailer. This game simply has so much charm. The graphics are impressive and the concept is very endearing, reminiscent of The Secret of NIMH. Ghost of a Tale is quite polished for a game in development. Set in a beautiful anthropomorphic medieval world, you assume the role of a sneaky mouse named Tilo. Imprisoned for sedition and separated from your wife Merra, you must outsmart the guards on the quest to find her whereabouts. There are many collectibles in the game and the dialog is amusing and well-written. I found myself enjoying every moment of it, particularly the art. It pulls off a macro environment very well (with the exception of some extremely small roses and apples - why not make them petals and almonds instead?), which is both original and interesting. The game is playable at this stage and looks very promising. What I feel it lacks most is voice acting. The NPCs also lack variation, which I imagine we'll get later on. It seems to have a solid plot, which I look forward to exploring. I give it five stars.

C'est bien rare de tomber sur une expérience. Le style est propre à l'expérience souhaiter. La musique et l'ambiance sont au rendez vous. La logique n'est pas toujours évidente car pas forcement explicite ce qui forcera le joueur à réfléchir et à être plus attentif au décors/ détails. Pour le prix du jeu on peut le considérer comme un incontournable, et pour le peu que vous adhériez au jeu, vous pourrez prendre plus de plaisir que sur certains license AAA actuel.

Everytime when the game looses focus (e.g. when I press ALT-TAB or some app pops up), GoaT just hangs. Happens on both my machines, 16/32 GB RAM, RTX 2060/4060ti and fast SSDs.

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.
