Tale of Tales has always seemed to have different goals than the majority of videogame developers. Its titles—which include, most notably, Sunset, The Path, and The Graveyard—are less interested in providing players with accessible narratives and engaging gameplay mechanics than in presenting virtual spaces (and real concepts) to explore.
Josh Griffiths writes: "You may remember the first person exploration game Sunset from Kickstarter a few years ago. You may also remember its developer, Tale of Tales. They announced that Sunset was a financial failure, and that they felt they had no choice but to walk away from the comercial gaming industry for good. Fast forward to Halloween 2016 of all days, and the company seems to have reversed their decision somewhat."
VRFocus reports on the reveal of Sunset developer Tale of Tales' new project in the virtual reality (VR) compatible Cathedral-in-the-Clouds.
Gary Stott writes: "Kickstarter is undoubtedly the best place to go for such an unusual project. Imagine being a marketing executive and finding that on your desk. It's a tough sell, to say the least. Enough to drive any PR team insane. Still, it sounds strange and different and interesting."
