About
A young wanderer is lost in the forests, and accidentally unleashes something evil. A group of strangers need to become friends and find their own path to salvation to lift the curse that has befallen the land.

Once Upon A Tile has you explore ever-changing dungeons guarded by monsters, traps and magical challenges. Perhaps you need to navigate a trap-filled corridor to the end, or defeat a certain amount of monsters or collect enough treasures to make it through alive. The reasons will change, but the goal remains the same - build the dungeon as you explore it, and avoid traipsing over too many traps or monsters you can not defeat yet. This will require a little bit of luck and a whole lot of strategic planning.
While you play as a hero, you do not move directly. Instead, you follow the shortest paths to the newly discovered dungeon rooms you are exploring. This makes for a very unique and challenging game, where every steps and tile you place counts.
Once Upon A Tile features:
- endless replayability with procedurally generated dungeon-decks
- unlockable and upgradable characters
- an engaging, fully voiced storyline depending on which character you choose to play
- complex mechanics that require you to think carefully, but easy to learn gameplay

It is a nice indie game with some interesting mechanics, however it seems a bit rough. It will need some updates to give you more things to do once you finish it. I encountered one very annoying bug, it did not save my progress after a 2 hour run with only a couple more events to finish the game that made me uninstall it. Instead of taking me to the point where I left and saved before exiting the game, it just changed to the tutorial. Another annoying thing is that same events, at the beginning of a run, will not provide you the means to get the reward.
Sehr schönes, kurzweiliges und stimmungsvolles Spiel für Zwischendurch. Wirkt unglaublich entschleunigend.

Nice and relaxing puzzle game with cute story and voiceover. At least the first parts are not very tricky, so ample opportunity to optimize. Music and graphics are also very nice. I didn't have any performance or bug issues, although my laptop is OLD. I guess these problems have been fixed in the recent patch.
Quite interesting and unique game! It could really be a boardgame exactly like it is. You have to find the exit in some where there are traps and enemies and there is always some goal on each level. It's a roguelike with high replay value. Unfortunatly i stumbled upon some bugs while playing, but hopefully they are fixed pretty soon. Watch me play at https://youtu.be/fLKY-heImp8
nice
Having played mostly the demo of this game so far, this is a very cute and cozy navigational puzzle roguelite with very heavy board-game inspiration that is a bit rough around the edges. The atmosphere of the game is topnotch with great art and very charming german accented english narration of its fairy tale-ish story about anthropomorphic woodland creatures.
Doesn't feel like a finished game. Neat tile placing mechanics. Pretty Graphics Plenty of bugs (dead tiles, missing pieces of tiles, character not following the marked path) Not a ton of content either. Neat idea but need to be completed to be worth the price tag.
es macht sehr viel spaß
Eigentlich ist es eine sehr schöne Idee mit liebevollen Details, aber leider gibt es einige Bugs, die scheinbar nicht gefixt werden. Wenn man sich den Updateverlauf und die fehlenden Antworten des Entwicklers in Diskussionen ansieht, dann muss man sich die Frage stellen, ob das jemals der Fall sein wird. Aus dem Grund kann ich das Spiel leider im Moment nicht empfehlen.
