Deqaf Studio have created an enticing story with a distinctive visual appeal that does not quite achieve the lofty heights of the golden age of point-and-click adventuring that it is referencing. The tale has a short lifespan and puzzle logic can be hit and miss. The developers have hinted that a sequel is in the works, and so hopefully the foundations that are in place will help create a more satisfying walk in the woods the next time.
Creepy Tale is an atmospheric excursion that can be completed in under an hour, although it could take longer (but prove more frustrating) without the hints option activated. This is a bite-size adventure garnished with creepy charm.
Bruno is a mild-mannered baker from Italy, now living in the quaint little town of Terrace Heights. Mina, the local cake artiste, is always trying to get him to impregnate her so they can get hitched and raise a large family. Tomas, his new hire at Luna's bakery, has his eyes on the vault in Bruno's man cave. Little does Bruno know that his world is about to be hot-crossed, glazed and jelly-filled.From the author that brought you FLYand THE CRAWLING SKIN...creepy talesfor adults only Available now at Amazon.com and Audible.com in ebook, paperback and audio book formats.
In a series of creepy tales, you are a young boy from the village. Your brother has been kidnapped by an evil man, who lives in the nearby forest. You are left in the village, where you will have to find your brother and save him from the monsters that live in the dark forest. The game will take you into a dark forest filled with strange creatures, where you will be able to face not only monsters but also find out what happened to your brother and to the peaceful creatures that lived there.
The woods are a mysterious hand-drawn wonderland filled with original fairy-tale creatures. Some of these monsters are evil and will not think twice about taking the player's life, while others are docile and hide when approached. Each monster has its own unique design which can be both cute and terrifying, and they are interesting enough for players to long to know the lore behind each one. Creepy Tale does not inherently tell the player the lore of the woods, but the environments are built in such a way that they tell their own stories.
Leda does a superb job with this comic as a feeling of being ill-at-ease permeates the whole thing. The artwork in particular imparts a creepy vibe as cute little Ruth seems to encounter a dark force that could possibly mean her serious harm. The way the imagery of the cornstalks fill and shift around the pages feels as intrusive to us readers as if we were in an actual thick field of corn. It's impressive and scary!
