    7 hours of idk what to do
    Ghost of a Tale is a good game, but it definitely isn’t for everybody..
    And im one of those people…
    It wont hold your hand, you wont know where to go to get what you need off of much more than remembering seeing something somewhere.
    that being said, I can appreciate the good that is here!
    You play as a mouse in a world full of rats, you escape a jail cell and youre in search of your wife…
    This is a bit of a horror stealth game, you sneak, distract, steal, run and hide, trying to not gain attention, but I found this to be pretty impossible for the most part… this definitely isn’t a game for those that are impatient or easily annoyed as ghost of a tale will annoy you…
    At first Ghost of a Tale seemed like something I could get into, search all the rooms you can, go forward, gtting keys and clothing items to increase your stats, find all of its secrets, but the moment it opens up into a souls like world with everything inter connecting is wher Ghost of a Tale started to lose me..
    At that is a very personally me, as I find Ghost of a Tale to be a good stealth game, if you have the patience, this game is a beautiful stealth hidden gem.. the mechanics are great, the gameplay is tense… you can venture down different paths to unlock abilities to put guards to sleep, complete quests and steal coins to unlock helpful items such as maps.. though really, this game feels like a maze.. pun intended.. a map rarely helps, its still really confusing getting around in this game even after you’ve been through it.. I still found myself unsure which corner to turn to get ot a spot I know ive been to.. to add to the frustration, much like a hitman game you have to save a lot when you make progress, it isn’t as simple as unlocking a path or gaining an important key or item for the game to save, the game will only save after dialog, or you can manually save while your hiding after you’ve been detected and lose line of sight.. and back to the diaglog, none of its voice acted, and with such a colorful cast of characters, I feel like this would’ve been a nice touch to add to the overall polish feel of a ghost of a tale…
    Ghost of a Tale is a good stealth game.
    But again, it may be a game that frustrates you more than intrigues..
    And if you are one of those players who get intrigued, youll be rewarded with how well this game comes together,
    I give Ghost of a Tale
