Source: Screenshotīut for the overall aesthetic? I liked it. In the few platforming sections, it’s a bit of a pig to jump without falling and climbing back up, or impaled on some sharp pointy things. When he jumps, gravity feels like it went out to the woods for a slash as it’s a bit inconsistent and unnatural. I’ve already whinged about the intuitive details, but if I’m honest, I wasn’t a fan of the animation either. That’s not to say that Creepy Tale didn’t have its flaws. Not long after, I finished the game and have to say, it was mostly an enjoyable experience and pleased that I stuck it out. I repeated this segment about four more times while experimenting with a workaround, but each time I had to restart it, I invested enough that I wasn’t phased with defeat. It’s only a quick press of the button to enter a door and descend the stairwell, but when not perfectly aligned, the boy would shrug, allowing his pursuer catch then throttle him.
