Our verdict
8/10
- Difficulty: Medium
- Players: 1
- Playtime: 3–5 h
Creepy Tale: Some Other Place is the fourth hand-drawn side-scrolling puzzle adventure in the Creepy Tale series. A fishing boy is pulled into a dark fairy-tale world of demons and swamp creatures, and each chapter is built around its own puzzle mechanic. It suits solo players who like short, dark-but-whimsical adventures in the vein of Little Nightmares, and the developers recommend a gamepad.
The evidence is thin: the game is rated Very Positive with 89 of 94 Steam reviews positive, but only one review has text. That player praises the variety of mechanics, such as a colour-dial lighting puzzle, constellation globes, scarecrow golems revived with candles and a flying chair, and notes that frequent deaths carry no penalty, keeping the tone light. Tag votes stress atmosphere, a dark look and narration.
The same reviewer flags weak spots: a colour puzzle that depends on a hard-to-find note, a fussy timed skull lock and a frustrating stealth section with instant-fail patrols. Expect roughly three to five hours. At its low price it is an easy pick for fans of the series or of grim fairy tales; players who dislike trial-and-error stealth should know it is there.
Pros
- Every chapter introduces a new puzzle mechanic
- Hand-drawn dark fairy-tale art with voiced narration
- Deaths are frequent but cost almost nothing
Cons
- Stealth section with instant-fail patrols is called the weakest part
- One colour puzzle hinges on a note that is easy to miss
- Short, and only one written review to judge it by
