A Twisted Tale

A Twisted Tale is the debut project of a German game developer named Eva, who founded the Voodoo Bembel studio. The game is a two-dimensional point-and-click adventure game, focusing heavily on the humorous element and drawing fully on the classics of the genre.

Plot

The title allows us to take on the role of Vio - a girl who travels through different worlds. The player's task is to explore unreal places: destroyed cities, pirate ships hidden in the deepest jungle, etc. During her inter-dimensional voyages, the protagonist meets many unusual, often comical characters, led by a depressed personification of death. Vio's story can end in several different ways - determined by the player's choices - and contains unexpected twists and turns.

Game mechanics

The game mainly consists of solving puzzles. We do this by pointing to various interactive objects with the mouse cursor, and then discovering the relationships between them and finding appropriate uses for them.

Graphics

A Twisted Tale features very nice graphics, frame by frame drawn by hand on paper using pencil and ink. Digital techniques were used only in coloring the backgrounds.

Trivia

Although the game was created by one person, it has bilingual dubbing - English and German. The main character was voiced by Su Ling Chan and Kimi Meidowska, while the deaths were voiced by Andrew James Spooner (including Cyberpunk 2077 and Dying Light 2) and Tom Vogt.
