About The Darkest Tales
The Darkest Tales is an adventure in which Teddy, a stuffed bear, travels through the realm of dreams and distorted childhood fantasies to rescue his owner, Alicia, who has grown up. As her long-forgotten toy, Teddy faces familiar fairytale characters and landscapes transformed into sinister versions of themselves.
A distorted fairytale
The gingerbread men are out for blood, Sleeping Beauty has been asleep for centuries, and the Little Mermaid resembles a sea witch. Each level takes place in a recognizable but distorted fairytale world, with combat, obstacles and secrets. You might fight bloodthirsty rubber duckies or explore the giants’ castle in the clouds.
Teddy’s weapons and skills
Teddy makes a bow and melee weapons from a pair of scissors. He also uses needles as arrows and grappling hooks to fight the forces of evil. As you progress, you gain experience, develop your skills and branch out into new abilities.
Uncover the story
The game’s lore reveals the mysteries of its nightmarish world as you defeat monsters and advance. Along the way, it raises difficult questions about life, and you decide how the tale ends.
