Creepy Tale is a mysterious puzzle-platformer crafted in a minimalist style, inspired by old, grim fairy tales where children found themselves in eerie places—and only a few lucky ones ever made it back. STORY While walking with your brother, everything turns into horror and drags the hero into a series of terrible events. Your brother has been kidnapped, and you are left face-to-face with an ominous forest filled with dangers and strange creatures. Solve the puzzles that you meet on the way, do not let yourself be caught, and save your brother! Find out the dark story that befell the once-calm and peaceful forest, turning it into a creepy place filled with evil. Perhaps it is you who will be able to solve all the secrets of the forest and save the peaceful creatures? A puzzle-platformer in the spirit of Limbo. Features of a classic adventure: collect items for your inventory and use them in a variety of situations. But this is not only a quest, you will have to hide, run away, jump high, and even ... learn to play the reedpipe! A truly creepy soundtrack and beautiful 2D art will take you to a dark tale and give you few unforgettable hours!
