About The Long Tale

The Long Tale is a hardcore pixel platformer in a black-and-white style inspired by the 8-bit era. You arrive at a castle as a knight intending to save the princess, but she is already gone and the dragon remains. Death serves as part of your progress as you work through deadly levels and piece the story together through gameplay.

Navigate the castle

Each level is built around traps and decisions, with no scripted sequences or handholding. The level architecture is living, and doors may mislead you. Instant restarts let you quickly try again after a death.

The dragon and its secrets

The dragon awaits, but its secrets remain unknown.

The princess is gone, but the dragon stayed. Jump, die, rage, repeat — The Long Tale is a brutal black & white pixel platformer with deadly traps and no handholding. Each step is a decision. Warning: may cause obsession, retries beyond reason, and minor damage to keyboards.
