This game is a very unique experience.

The game is stunningly beautiful, it's charming and adorable. The level design loops back in on itself, shortcuts unlocked to the hub area. It's so good that I remembered where to go after months without playing it. It's the same kind of level design as Dark Souls, with every path heading back to Firelink Shrine. The gameplay can be stale at times, but the world is so darn enjoyable to be in. It feels alive. The story is also great, every loose end is tied in the end, it has one of the best stories of any game I've recently played. It's so refreshing to see a game like this. It's a charming adventure. I can't believe this was just made by a few people. This should have been very popular.

Beautifully Crafted Gem

What a beautifully crafted gem of a game Ghost of a Tale is! Rich and intriguing lore in a world of anthropomorphic animals and wonderfully made environments to explore, which do a good job at making you feel like you've been dropped into a very lived in world. Adding to that are the many conversations to have with its inhabitants and interesting ballads to play. I genuinely felt taken up in the world of the game, and much like a good book found hard to put down. It's difficult to pin down, but the experience in it's entirety is like no other game I've ever played, but exactly like a game I've always wanted. And it's really hard to believe all of this came from an indie studio, but they've shown their worth their weight in... song from their creation. It can hiccup sometimes, but the crafted care is enough to overlook this and I would recommend giving it a play through during the AAA off season.

Awesome Stealth Adventure Game

The older I get, the more I care about the experience of a game, rather than the difficulty/challenge. And Ghost of a Tale is a great experience, clearly created with care. It pulls me back to the days of reading the Redwall books. And alongside the sneaking and puzzle solving the game also manages to pack in a lot of lore. There are a couple technical glitches that I've bumped into. For example, sometimes the camera likes to jump around randomly. But it's nothing game breaking. And the guard AI is a little simplistic. But none of that really takes away from the feel of the game. The level design in great. Everything seems to connect to everything else - once you find the way to open the passages/doors. The day/night cycle was an unexpected nice touch. And the open world-style map lets you just explore and interact with the various characters at your own pace.

Charming and beautiful to look at

The Secret of NIMH meets the Lost Legends of Redwall, and the result is a lovingly crafted castle you'll end up knowing like the back of your hand, exploring every nook and cranny, in an enchanting anthropomorphic fantasy world with a dark edge and bits of sly and well-executed humor. Ghost of a Tale is a gorgeous game, and the world is interesting enough for you to want to know more about it. Unfortunately, the stealth aspect ends up being more of an inconvenience as you explore than an essential element, and some items are rather obtuse to find, as one of the previous reviewers stated. An ability to take notes on the map would have been tremendously appreciated, as it's rather hard to keep track of all the doors, chests and trunks you've yet to open because you haven't the specific key. The lack of voice acting and JRPG "typed in text" for dialogues in a game with otherwise impressive production values is also a bit jarring, but the story is well written, and the characters are either likable or amusing, and some even have hidden depths to them. This is a game to explore and savor, not to blindly follow the questlog and check off items. Its ending screams "sequel", so here's to hoping it does come to pass. If this was the product of pretty much a one man team, I'd be very interested to see what could be achieved with more resources.

Charming tale with rough edges

First and foremost, I really enjoyed the storytelling in this game. Despite the limitations of the game itself there is strong depth and suggestion of scale that captivated me. The game creator added such lore and history to the game world that I wanted to know more. But that also relates to what left me disappointed. Full disclosure, while growing up I loved the Redwall novels. They were obviously an influence to "Ghost of a Tale," and it's part of why I like it. The anthropomorphized animal inhabitants of this game world are of similar species. The setting is medieval-like, and there's a "ghost story" (honestly my favorite part) intertwined with the main story as well as "heroes of legend" who make up some plot points. The characters are charming and have a good dose of personality, and the character artwork (stills) and writing convey it. The spooky atmosphere is great. At the same time, all this depth tended to remind me of how limited the game was. I mean it's not a fullscale triple-A title, nor priced as such, but I found myself wishing it was. Yes, it has some rough edges mechanics-wise. There are no cutscenes, even animations are limited, and the areas to explore aren't particularly large or numerous (certainly not like GTA or BotW). Some item interaction can be finnicky, the save system is "eh" though serviceable, and I swear the dialogue trees could be better organized/more consistent. I did notice some audio clipping. Half of the lore is told through the journal mechanic--cleverly used when limited in budget and manpower, but darn I wanted to see some of the stuff it talked about. Most of all, for better or worse, the game left me wishing for more (and for spoiler reasons I won't elaborate). All in all, if you're looking for a sneaking-and-puzzle-solving game, I do recommend "Ghost of a Tale," especially for an entertaining story. Don't expect the "frills" of a triple-A title, but you will feel like you made your way through a rousing adventure.
