Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure. The game takes place in a medieval world populated only by animals, and puts an emphasis on immersion and exploration. It features stealth elements, disguises, conversations with allies and enemies, and quests. You’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers. Tilo is not much of a fighter, so stealth and nimbleness are your allies when confronted with enemies twice your size. Talk to the characters you meet and leave no stone unturned in your quest to find Merra, your true love…. About the team: Ghost of a Tale has been developed by a very small team. Lionel 'Seith' Gallat is its creator, responsible for 90% of the art, design and coding. Paul Gardner is the game's writer and an experienced game designer. Cyrille Paulhiac does coding and develops tools. The game's orchestral score is composed by Mathieu Alvado and Jeremiah Pena , while Tilo's songs are written and arranged by Containher . Sound design is by Nicolas Titeux . Jerome Jacinto brings his expertise as an illustrator to the game's 2D art.
