Fables from the Den

Кратко: [b]Fables from the Den[/b] - это сборник добрых коротеньких рассказов про обитателей леса. Голоса зверей милушные, стилистика в традиционном стиле Shelter'а, что не может не радовать. В общем, 20 минут жизни и 49 рублей были потрачены не зря. Но...давайте будем реалистами - 80% людей, покупающих Fables from the Den, делают это ради эмоции дождя в [b]Meadow[/b]. :^) [spoiler]п.с. озвучка рыси расщепляет моё лицо на атомы. это. слишком. мило.

I know children are the public for this but it should really have been a picture book. The music doesn't add much, there's no narration, it's just a slideshow. Took longer downloading this than reading the stories.

Rating this as neutral. I like the concept of a living book and the execution for this was done well from a technical and artistic stand-point. It's just that the stories are much too short (around 3 paragraphs each) and the writing is classic purple prose; much too overly ornate text, esp given the target audience is young children. It disrupts the narrative flow by drawing undesirable attention to its own extravagant style of writing, ie. excessive use of complex adjectives/adverbs/run-on-sentences. For me, it diminished the appreciation of the stories being told - and I'm a grown adult who LOVES to read; I truly just think this was a poor match-up given the content? A better balance would have been simpler writing, but a longer story w more pages and w more illustrations. The art style is pleasant to look at, so kudos to the illustrator; they carried this. Side note: imo the text & pictures should be re-sized larger. There's too much white space after looking at this on my large pc monitor (esp the text, it's too little for someone farther than 1 foot away to see, assuming you might want to gather your kids around to read along w you.) I purchased this on sale (only spent CDN$ 1.27 on it, over 70% off) so given the low price tag & 20 minutes it took to complete it, I'm not that mad about it. I'm just disappointed it wasn't as good as it potentially could have been. The right building blocks are there, and perhaps this was experimental for the developer, but PLEASE try to hire a different writer for this type of stuff. Make the writing better and stories longer so we can appreciate what's in front of us more. CONCLUSION: At full price, I don't think it's worth it. On sale? Still questionable, and up to you depending on what your opinion is. If you're a parent who will be reading this multiple times to your children, maybe, but for someone like me just looking for a short read definitely not.

While cute, nicely drawn, and straighforward, it's hard to justify $6.99 or even $1 for the game. I would be very happy to recommend it for free, but I can't in good conscience suggest people spend money on this "game", which lasted a total of 13 minutes for me.

This review is neutral. 15+ min to complete, Fables from the Den has 9 short stories with two art styles, watercolor and the pattered style Might and Delight is known for. Each story has a moral and is told by a different animal, with others commenting on it after it’s finished. While cute, it doesn’t have enough content to justify a $7 price tag, so get it on sale.

Depending on what you are looking for this is something for you. It has beautiful art and a few very short stories. The stories could have been written better. But I still liked it. It would have been nice if these were compatible with a tablet and children could use their finger to choose an animal/story.

Pictures are adorable, I liked the art style, and I liked the fables themselves. Lack of a local language support makes it impossible for little kids to understand the stories. Otherwise it has little to offer, beyond pretty pictures and chill music. However, I would definitely buy it as a book for my children, provided it was translated. Kuvat ovat suloisia, taide on kaunista ja itse sadut olivat mukavia. Suomen kielen tuen puuttuessa pienten lasten on mahdotonta ymmärtää tarinoita. Muuten tällä ei ole paljon tarjottavaa, kuin nättejä kuvia ja rauhallista musiikkia. Ostaisin kuitenkin kirjana lapsilleni, mikäli käännös olisi tarjolla.

Милі та коротенькі, деякі повчальні казочкі. Тіпікал Might and Delight ^^

Una pena que no estuviera en español porque las historias son sumamente dulces. Cortitas pero bonitas, con un ambientado artístico muy lindo.

It's a good little digital storybook. It's not a game at all, but it was fun little thing from Might and Delight developers. I love the artstyle of Might and Delight games, so getting a little storybook from them is amazing. The stories are small short stories about fables about different kind of animals. The fables have good sayings and meanings and it would be great to read for children!
