Once a Tale

Once a Tale is a single-player narrative adventure inspired by fairy tales including Hansel and Gretel and The Three Little Pigs. After their parents abandon them, Hansel and Gretel wander through a dangerous forest, trying to find their way home while a hungry wolf prowls nearby. Other fairy-tale characters live there too: some help the children, while others do not.

Explore the forest

You guide the siblings through a handcrafted world made using wood, cardboard, foam and clay, presented in a stop-motion style. Cinematic camera angles show the locations as you explore and uncover the land’s mysteries.

Solve puzzles together

Puzzles call for both characters and their different abilities. You lift, climb, pull and push objects to help the creatures and friends you meet. The children develop unique skills as they face trials and threats, and combining their strengths may help them survive.
