Ghost of a Tale 2

Ghost of a Tale 2 is a sequel to the TPP action adventure game originally released in 2018 for PC only (the title was ported to consoles in later years). The game was developed by SeithCG, an indie studio managed by Lionel "Seith" Gallat, who was responsible for carrying out the vast majority of the work..

Graphics

The project was initially created on the Unity engine, but in July 2022 the developer announced a switch to Unreal Engine 5 (interestingly, a similar situation took place during the development of the first part - but then CryEngine was abandoned, mainly due to difficulties in mastering it).

Although this decision slightly slowed down the development of the game, it ultimately turned out to be a bull's eye - because thanks to it, character animations are even smoother, and the medieval-inspired fantasy world of Ghost of a Tale 2, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, has become much more beautiful than the one from the first part.

Plot

Exploring it, we once again play the role of a brave mouse named Tilo. We return to the hero some time after he left Dwindling Heights Keep to finally reunite with his wife, Meera, after a long separation. However, it quickly turns out that the protagonist is not destined to experience a peaceful life, as a new adventure awaits him.

Game mechanics

As part of it, Tilo has to complete a number of various tasks - most of them are given by NPCs, with whom it is possible to talk ("spoken" lines, however, should be read, since the production, like the original, does not have dubbing in any language). For the missions carried out, the protagonist primarily explores the open world of the game in search of the indicated items.

In Ghost of a Tale 2 - as in the first part - great focus is placed on stealth. So the player repeatedly has to use his own cleverness and ingenuity to evade the watchful eyes of enemies and sneak behind their backs. He is partly helped by barrels or other objects in which he can hide, as well as bottles and sticks, which are used to stun opponents and divert their attention.

The simple character development system known from the original also returned. As the story progresses, Tilo acquires useful skills, significantly facilitating his survival. For the latter it is also necessary to disguise himself in the armor of enemies, providing the hero with perfect camouflage.
