Its really easy as well. No real challenge, I ran through the PS4 one and the only difficult stuff was the trophies, and honestly those still weren't that hard. Its a fun experience but honestly its something I'd recommend waiting for a price cut, each of the mini games weren't very replayable.
Thanks for the heads up.
I dropped it a while ago and tried to go back recently but had no idea what to do. I'll restart my save and try to stick with it the whole way through eventually.
The studio that made the game consists of 5 ppl and that might explains why the game is short and left me wanting more. $10 sounds about right but the game is definitely good. I would probably pay for a few more levels, challenege modes, etc.
Yeah, this game looks incredible and it hasn't aged a bit visually.
It's currently unavailable in Italy, too...I want to buy To The Moon, but somehow it's not available for me to buy? Somebody know wgat's going one here? I never encountered this before...
ha, was going to mention! I noticed this yesterday. I hope we somehow get more of the DLC, at least for more of the different roads lol.
I enjoyed it, I just would have preferred they added more challenge into certain mini games - the Outrun style racing game for example is way too long when very little challenge is actually going on - a good 50%+ of it is wide open roads with 0 challenge - granted it for story exposition but it could have tried to keep me engaged a little more by giving me something to do while this bit plays out.
Thanks for the heads up for the DLC, was not aware it even existed.
I concur and this is exactly how I felt once I finished Tangle Tower. I do love how "human" the ending felt but it still felt abrupt, especially considering the buildup leading to the reveal.
Thanks for the impressions. This is definitely next on my to buy list.I'm in awe after finishing Stories Untold.
I think I haven't experienced anything like it in gaming at least in the storytelling department.
I know it's not a game for everybody, but it clicked all the right spots for me. I guess being an 80s teen who grew up with a ZX Spectrum and loving what we called conversational games (text-based adventures) has something to do with it XD, but man, what an exceptional ride. It got me so hooked that I finished it in two sittings. At first I thought it was going to be a somewhat generic horror game with an 80s setting but as the story unfolds… I couldn't be more wrong.
I can't talk much about the game without spoiling parts of the story as there's some kind of a hidden narrative in there (I knew nothing about this game until Devolver announced a few days ago it was being released on the Switch), but in summary it's an episodic point-and-click-ish text adventure game where you spend most of the time reading and solving puzzles in front of a table (or two, with a button to switch between them) as the story unfolds in front of you.
There are four episodes which will unlock right after you finish the previous one, and each one lasts about 45 minutes/1 hour, so expect the game to be finished in about 4 hours. Take in mind that you can't save in the middle of the episodes (I can understand that design choice for the sake of immersion after playing it).
Each one takes place in a different setting: one in front of a desk with a ZX Spectrum 128K <3, an old CRT TV where you are playing a text-based adventure game called The House Abandon, and another one in front of what seems to be some kind of laboratory where you have to follow the instructions to make experiments to a subject inside a box, and… that's it, I can't tell more without spoiling things.
If you like text-based adventures, point and click games, nicely written stories (oh, and the voice actors are great), with small touches of horror and sci-fi, give it a chance. Just one thing, once you start the game, finish it.
The game may be on the short side for some (4 hours to me is just about a perfect lenght), but for 9,99 € is a steal IMO.

The trailer and some screenshots (not from the Switch version as I didn't grab any… the story had me hooked so much that I forgot to, and I use to take a lot of screenshots XD but the game looks fine on the Switch at least in portable mode (I'm 100% handheld):
You're not wrong and I wish Switch version got more praise.
Haven't played Tangle Tower yet but I think you may be mixing up Tangle Tower (which is a point and click game, at least I hope so, since i bought it on that basis) and Tangledeep?
Yes, I confused the two games haha.
I played it on iOS and thought: ok, why is everybody so excited for this game. Finished it, but I thought it was just a pretty boring game that stretched a somewhat interesting story 🤷♂️
Oh. The switch has one? I only used the Webshop until now and couldn't find a wishlist there. Thanks!
I second this. And at 4,94 € it's a no-brainer.
It's challenging for sure, but you don't need to be super skilled to beat it. Checkpoint are generous so you don't need to repeat particularly long combat sections from scrap.
Stick with it through the slow start and it will pay off in spades. Amazing game.
