Tales of the Black Forest Reviews

A short fun horror adventure game. Definitely recommend for its price.

The vibe and the well written story of this game made me like it, i wish it was longer because i really enjoyed it. 100% would recommend playing it! (pls make more games like this)

This game is a hidden gem! Great story, atmosphere and characters!! A horror rpg with a well made story and lots of cats to go around.

A lovely game with a lovely story. The aesthetic is so cute and I enjoyed all of the different characters and environments. Short but sweet with only four chapters and some interesting, creepy twists.

细腻的笔触，动人的故事，朴实的情节，却透出专业的文字工作者的韵味，基本功是真的牛掰

bittersweet and mysterious little RPG. Music was delightful and i liked the complexities of the story.

This is an amazing game. The pacing is excellent, I never get bored while playing the game. The tutorial is clear, you wouldn't miss anything if you just follow them (although I wouldn't laugh at you if you used a guide once or twice. Didn't know you can outrun those foxes), the world is full of things to interact, and the stories told are related to what we care about. The BGM usage is appropriate, and if you ever get a game over screen, the BGM played is different depending on what killed you. It took me some 9.6 hours to finish it. This is a horror game, but it isn't like you are mostly alone, or only with one other person. You meet a lot of people, and a lot of nice people too. It has healthy amount of variation of themes of the area (for an 8 hour game), you will be in many places. The dialogue isn't wordy, it is straight and clear. That's not to say that there's no mystery at all, I can say that there's something mystical in it. I think the characters and the story are relatable with the current generation. I won't say further on this because I am worried that it might spoil the fun. I will say that I'm moved by many of the characters though. At the beginning of the game, the tutorial will mention Easter Eggs. I do suggest following the tutorial's recommendations to go back and talk to previous characters. By the way, when you get to your apartment in town, [spoiler]you will be able to snuggle under the kotatsu when Kiritani leaves her spot. That's not really important, but that requires another sprite expression. The creator paid attention to the details.[/spoiler] TL;DR Just play the game. It is fun enough that I spent 4 nights thinking how to write a brilliant review to do the game justice. I feel like other reviews summed it up better though...

i really really liked this game, speacialy towards the end ngl the start was very slow for my liking but then it started to pick up the pace and started to be very enjoyable! besides that i have no complaints good story, good characters and great art style

Short game with a great story and fairly easy puzzles/ chase sequences.

Short and sweet. Not much of a game besides a few easy puzzles and some extremely short chase sequences, and even then, it just sort of takes you by the hand through all of it. Story and characters carried tho - really nice, softly twisted fairy tale vibes. Looks good too. The world could've been bigger tho, I can pretty much map it out of top of my head. In the end still very enjoyable, mainly story-driven experience.
