Following a successful Indiegogo campaign and nearly five years in development, with a lot of the time spent in Early Access, Ghost of a Tale - an action RPG/stealth game with rodents - has just been released on Steam. To quote,

header.jpg


Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. The game takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests.

You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love…​

Naturally, calling it an "action RPG [game]" might be stretching it somewhat, since the "RPG" part is limited to some basic stat unlocks and inventory management, but that has never stopped anyone from posting news about much more questionable things here. At the very least, it is charming as hell and looks like a good enough stealth game. Spreading of rodent agenda is an added bonus on top.

You can get it on Steam, 10% off for the first week, or on GOG.

Off to a good start I see.

Although Ghost of a Tale is fully playable with mouse and keyboard, we'd strongly recommend playing with a gamepad for the best experience.
:M I'll leave it someone else to make the obvious pun.

FWIW, I checked it briefly when it was in early access and played for some 3 hours, I don't remember the controls being bad on KBM.

Saw some EA reviews praise the game but shit on the optimization. Now with the release I see some neg reviews saying that it's still optimized like garbage. What's your experience with it like, Darth Roxor.

I'll report when I play this some more, only gave it a start up to see if it launches, but there was a weird hiccup there already. We'll see.

For all the doom and gloom around crowdfunding, Indiegogo has blessed us with some fine RPGs

Hmm that actually looks lovely in terms of visuals and the reviews are absolutely stellar. 96% is a rare sight.

Was going to make some snide remark about Infinitron really fishing for news stories, then I realized it was a Darth Roxor post.

Well played, Roxor, well played...

The game itself is looking good, I have been looking forward to it for a while now.
