Creepy Tale: Snow Child is the fifth game in Creepy Brothers' hand-drawn fairy-tale horror series, inspired by Slavic folklore. As in the earlier games, children set off on a grim adventure through a macabre but oddly cute world, and you solve scene puzzles, brainteasers and action mini-games along the way. It suits solo players who liked the previous Creepy Tale games.
Steam reviews are very positive (about 90% of 286). Fans praise the dark, quirky characters, the witty dialogue and black humour, and the atmosphere; several call it the best entry and a fitting end to the series. The puzzles are described as engaging but not too difficult, though some are trickier than they first look.
The written reviews raise few complaints, but the formula is familiar if you have played the others, and the action mini-games will not suit everyone. Expect around seven to nine hours. At its low price it is an easy recommendation for series fans and anyone who likes dark fairy-tale adventures.
Pros
- Slavic folklore setting with macabre hand-drawn art
- Witty dialogue and black humour
- Puzzles that are trickier than they first appear
Cons
- Familiar formula for series veterans
- Action mini-games mixed in with the puzzles
