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

I really enjoyed the demo and also this much the game! Better then Dorfromantik.
Sehr schönes, kurzweiliges und stimmungsvolles Spiel für Zwischendurch. Wirkt unglaublich entschleunigend.
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.
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.
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.
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.
es macht sehr viel spaß
