From the innovators and creators at Glitch Games, A Short Tale – Room Escape is another fun addition to the World of Puzzle games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.
A Short Tale is one of those point and click escape adventures that feels small at first, then turns into a whole toybox of puzzles. It follows Jason exploring his younger brother Ben’s bedroom after wishing to be small again, so the everyday stuff turns huge. Beds become scaffolding, drawers are cliffs, and old toys feel alive in that half-cheeky, half-haunting way. There is a soft, sad thread running through it about memory and loss, but it never gets heavy. It just gives the exploring a little heart while you poke at everything.
Playing is simple. First person, lots of tapping on odd bits, picking up items, and trying to figure out how one strange clue fits another. The camera tool is clever. Snap photos of codes, doodles, weird layouts, then flip through them later like a pocket notebook. Expect jokes, a few puzzles that make you mutter at the screen, and a bunch that land with that nice “oh of course” click. The soundtrack sits in the background and suits the whole tiny-person-in-a-big-room feel. On PC with BlueStacks, the mouse makes it easy to spot small details and flick through the photo album, and the bigger screen helps with tiny text and symbols. It saves on its own, the world is larger than it first looks, and it is a comfy few hours for anyone who likes scrappy, thoughtful puzzles with a nostalgic twist.
