Once a Tale

This game could have been alot more. But it was basically ruined for me with lousy controls, awkward camera angles and lag. Making a simple jump was frustrating enough for me to bail out of this game.

This game is horrible: Gameplay - 1/10 Camera - 1/10 Story - 1/10 Controls - negative / 10 Don't buy this even on sale!

Great little game!

I already played the demo and loved it. The artstyle is interesting and refreshing. The camera perspectives make the puzzles sometimes harder than they are. I had to look up 2 section on youtube to clear them. One was kind of obvious...The other well I dont know how we are supposed to see that. Overall a good game.

This game is amazing. I love the hidden collectibles and the lore of the characters. From start to end, Once A Tale will make you hope Hansel, Gretel, and their friends get a happy ending. I hope one day we might get a sequel or maybe a DLC.

Quel plaisir de jeu ! Once a tale est un merveilleux jeu indé, très original esthétiquement et très agréable à jouer. Construite à partir de plusieurs contes de Grimm*, l'histoire est incroyable et respecte parfaitement les narrations des conteurs. Beaucoup de clins d'oeil et de détails sont à relever. Le gameplay est varié et intéressant, puisque chaque personnage ayant sa capacité, il faut parfois s'avérer ingénieux pour résoudre certains puzzles - sans que cela soit impossible non plus. Les dialogues qui ponctuent l'avancée dans le jeu sont nourris sans être longuets et sans donner l'impression de "jouer la montre". D'ailleurs, la durée de vie est également étonnante, puisqu'au bout de 7h de jeu, je n'ai toujours pas terminé : l'univers à explorer est foisonnant et plein de surprises. Enfin, rajoutons que Once a tale interroge (intelligemment, c'est-à-dire sans lourdeur) les abus, clairs ou dissimulés, des adultes prédateurs et les peurs des enfants qui doivent construire un refuge pour se protéger... Le seul "défaut", selon moi, reste la discrétion sonore et un sound design un peu négligé... Bref, à faire absolument :)

Very nice game! Although the length isn't of a AAA's, it truly deserves every cent I spent on it. A beautifully crafted world and fun puzzles. The story is interesting, providing a confortable level of lore (story/plot) for anyone to enjoy. I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a calm game focused on puzzle and exploration to revisit some of our youth's classic fairy tales and/or any parent who want their kids to enjoy a kid-friendly game who doesn't take you by the hand.

Really liked the unique art style! Puzzle and platforming was interesting thoughout the experience. Fun for anyone but especially for kids!

j'ai bien aimé

I'll provide a more in-depth review once I've had more time to explore, but so far, I really love the game's aesthetic, overall mood, music, and storyline. Great job, team!
