Tale
A downloadable game for Windows
Tale is a 2.5D puzzle-platformer created to explore ludonarrative design through mechanics as metaphor and defamiliarization.
The game was developed in unity 3D, and it narrates a small adventure of two nameless protagonists and their relationship through meeting, separation, reunification, and growth. The puzzles include a range of platformer techniques designed to mirror the recurring characters emotional state and the nature, changes, and growth of their relationship as the game progresses.
This is delivered avoiding classic storytelling forms such as text and voice and letting the player actively experience the story through the gameplay interactions and mechanics, where play itself communicates both the story and the development of the characters relationship.
