I donotlikeTale of Tales’ work, but they so fervently attempt to push against the grain of conventional game design (at least in part by not making actualgames) that I feel compelled to buy every new sort-of-game they release.
In this case, the story bits revolve around a reinterpretation of the story of Salome. I have literally no idea what to make of the game, thematically (the plot, loosely summarized: you die, you put out candles, you quit the game, you come back and watch a naked chick dance for a while), which I will blame on my complete ignorance of the story of Salome. Still, I dug the atmosphere and the weird, intentionally anachronistic touches Samyn and Harvey sprinkled throughout. Shame about the gameplay, though.
