Courier Tale

I don't get it. Really. Why does this game have so few reviews? I got IMMEDIATELY hooked by the game's humor and atmosphere. Just try it. Really. Don't be a m*rron.

I give my full approval to this charming little game. It's an exploration / walking simulator made in RPG Maker, where you complete delivery jobs across three different islands. The plot is simple yet fulfilling, especially toward the end. The color palette consists of grey combined with one additional color depending on the location, which gives the game an elegant simplicity. Every piece of dialogue and interaction includes a light-hearted joke. It may not make you laugh out loud, but it will keep you in a good mood throughout. Only downside is the limitation of the RPG Maker engine. For example, the Steam interface does not work properly for taking screenshots or displaying achievements when they are obtained. Fortunately, this does not affect the overall gaming experience at all. I played it until the last achievement, something I don't usually do and it's one of the best compliments I can give.

Nice solo debut. Charming. Possibly too pure for this world. The best of its story is hidden off the beaten path.

A nice, light novel experience. One of the few games I've actually 100%'d, and I don't regret spending the time in at all. The endings were a treat, and well worth the small extra bit of effort you have to put into finding all the collectables (which I wanted to do anyways since they're not too excessively hard to fine, and fun to look at). I vibe with this story, and its snarky retorts at the gig economy, and overall quite enjoy the lo-fi atmosphere (which surprised me since its not my music genre of choice, but it works really well). While I obviously don't want to spoil anything, it's definitely worth investigating the more... shadier individuals for that juicy secret ending. It all clicks together.

Courier Tale is a very polished RPG-maker adventure game. You play as a courier (doh) completing simple fetch quests and various side tasks on 3 distinct Islands. The job is more than it seems so there is a light mystery element to it. The whole game takes about 3h to complete and has no missable achievements. The game warns you before the point of no return so you can always backtrack for missing tasks or collectibles.

Very funny RPG with delicious retro vibes. The soundtrack is an absolute jam and it's good fun to wander around and see what little weirdo side quests you can find. This game was clearly made by someone who loves games.

Love the UI and overall aesthetic. The dialogue is snappy, charming and tongue-in-cheek. I've been enjoying my time with it -- a fair commentary on the gig economy. If I was being nitpicky, it'd be that I'd like to be able to move diagonally, especially on sizable maps. Praise the cactus!

I received a copy of this to help playtest early. It was bug free and ran without any problems. It is a nice little adventure in which you play a courier in an ever intriguing tale! I enjoyed the dialogue, and found some interesting interactions. This game feels like anyone could play it! I am yet to play through again to experience any alternative interactions, but will do in the future (so I can get all the achievements!)

A surreal pixel art adventure. I enjoyed the humour and wry commentary interspersed with relaxing chill hop tunes and cute animal characters. It has a very Twin Peaks vibe. I'm keen to play again soon to unlock all of the achievements and find out about the alternate endings!

Story had some cool twists I did not expect, even when I was close to the ending Dialogue is mostly fun, and with some sarcasm and irony, but slight repetitive sometimes. As usual in this kind of game, it is smart to read all dialogue anyway. In general it is both fun and I enjoyed it Now, maybe I will do speedruns just to see how fast I can go
