You don't know cute until you've seen a mouse in a suit of armour running away from an angry crab. Ghost of a Tale—our last mention was over a year ago, when it was looking for funding—is almost too adorable to process, but I'll bravely give it a go. It's an action-adventure-stealth type thing starring a mouse with a lute on its back, and it's one that appears to be coming along exceptionally well. The following trailer was shown at Gamescom this week during Microsoft's press thingy, but rest assured that it's "primarily a PC game".
It's been a long time since we covered Ghost of a Tale, so here's a quick reminder: it's a game about a mouse in a rat-eat-rat world, blending elements of action, adventure, stealth, and most of the things that lie in-between. Developer Seith wrote a few words about what we can expect, in a recent blog post talking about the trailer:
From PSU: "Medieval fantasy action-RPG Ghost of a Tale is one of the many games backwards compatible on the PS5, and it looks stunning in action, running at a locked 60 FPS for the new console. Want to see more? Then check out 25 minutes of the game in action below!"
I put this on my list of games I might buy long ago, but never picked it up. It looks like a fun fantasy action RPG game with mice. Maybe if I find the time I might pick it up.
the description is playing it liberally with the description of action rpg. It's more along the lines of a stealth rpg if I remember yahtzee's review. You never go head to head in a battle much with them as the enemies are big and can hurt you too much. You just stealth around from place to place and status effect them like sleep. You'll get a good idea of the game if you watch the gameplay video attatched here. Which is why I never bought it.
Same here. I've had it on my Steam wishlist for years now but I just haven't got around to buying it even though it hits the sale often
Umm yeah..it is like that since it was released 2 years ago on PC. I bought the PC version for 7 bucks a while ago
I just finished the game. It's a charming stealth game. A little bit rough around the edges, but nothing game breaking. I was impressed with the extensive lore of this indie title. Hope there will be a sequel.
Everyone loves an adorable protagonist. GameSpew has ranked the 10 most adorable protagonists who are sure to make you go "awwwwww."
Carlos writes: "For those who ignored Ghost of a Tale during its spell in Xbox Game Preview, the completed story follows a small, charming and captivating little rodent. It is he who finds himself imprisoned within the dark and dreary walls of Dwindling Heights Keep on the shore of Lake Vaelia, separated from the true love of his life, Meera."
Really digging this game and its world kinda hoping there was more music to it but I get they're trying to be atmospheric.
This game came out of nowhere for me. Looks really interesting and is on my list. Can't wait to see more of it.
I definitely like what I see from this trailer
This looks great, The guy who is making this used to work at Pixar, honestly it seems like MS has better indies that Sony really, that orichi game or whatever and that platformer with the old 1920's cartoon art style both look so fun. lucky for me they are all coming to PC.
Jesus thats his opinion he thinks the indies are better on xbox get over it...
