I've played this game before, but on a different platform. It feels like an old game you would play on our dad's brick PC growing up, the sense of nostalga is so strong with this one. Also reminds me of an old book (and animated film) The Tale of Despereaux. Wishing and praying for a sequel! Higly recommend!

Ghost of a Tale feels like discovering a hidden gem. Its charming world and adorable hero, Tilo, hooked me instantly. The stealth gameplay is creative, and exploring the gorgeous medieval setting is so much fun! The story is emotional and meaningful, making me care about every detail. It’s a fresh, unforgettable experience for indie game fans!

Ghost of a Tale is one of the most charming little games i've played in a while ,and even though you play as a little mouse , by calling it little i don't want to belittle it whatsoever.... well that was a mouthful. This game is 'little' not because it is very short or there's a lack of content, it is 'little' because of the homey feeling it gives of. A lot of different things contribute to invoking that feeling . Art style is cozy and nice, soundscape as well. Overall theme of being a little mouse trying to sneak around giant rats you can't defeat works towards that as well. But the main thing which makes this game so special for me is that sense of adventure and being lost in a best possible way. This will sound strange perhaps but Ghost of a Tale is first game since i've played Dark Souls back in early 2010's which gives me that adventurous sense of being lost and slowly but surely piecing layout,story and everything else together. It is a strange comparison to make i guess, but the feeling is that exact feeling i got from the DS back in a day. Where two games are really very different is that Ghost of a Tale essentially has no combat hence you are a little mouse set against giant armored rats (imagine vermintide ) . Gameplay evolves around stealth and various tools to help you out. And that , sadly , is the weakest part of the game. It is extremely easy to be honest. There are save points literally every 10 steps and even if you get noticed you can easily run away from the danger because your assailants are not too keen on chasing you around for too long. There are couple of nice touches like day and night cycle and certain npcs will or wont be in a place depending on time of day. I havent encountered any serious technical issues besides very little stuff, game is an Indie one so there's a lack of polish here and there but nothing to take away from the experience as well. Overall a game for ones soul if you will. Strongly recommend for 'vibes' as kids say these days.

This might be my favorite game of all time. I was hesitant to start it because I didn't think I would be very good at it, but it felt very approachable for most players. The visuals and sound design were so well done that this game always felt very immersive and I found myself looking forward to my next time playing it. I was surprised at how large the world felt, while not feeling overwhelming. Sometimes in games I get frustrated having to return to previously visited areas because I 'did everything there already.' However, each area felt very interwoven and even if I took a wrong step and ended up in an area mistakenly, it made the experience feel more real. I found the game the right mixture of challenging and amusing, and I very rarely felt frustrated and needed to look something up. I so desperately hope there will eventually be a sequel, because the characters and world in this title were so well thought out. I enjoyed getting to learn about each character and space, no matter how inconsequential they seemed to the grand scheme (especially because some of those characters may have held more importance than originally thought). Would definitely recommend to friends, and loved playing on stream!

Good lord I love it. Been looking for stealthy games with intricate interiors, like Dishonored and Thief. They are few and far between. This game is awesome. Main character is so cute but I feel tense playing it. I feel like it's a cross between Ratatouille and Halloween (a strange combo) with a Skyrim-y backdrop. Amazing
