TALES! from ‘The City’ (for Game Boy Color)

TALES! from The City is a (currently very) short rough-around-the-edges interactive demo for Game Boy Color – and hopefully your (very cool!) browser, too – that I developed on the occasion of TALE FOUNDRY’s «Fan Art Challenge» (open from July 11th to July 20th 2024). An event to celebrate TF just having broken the threshold of 1 M YouTube subs [announcement video!] – something not to be emberassed about (and should it ever happen to 10 of your closest friends don’t forget to forward them my encouraging words).

PLAY!

Currently playable is only CHAPTER 0. It serves as a short introduction to the world (not necessarily the one of BLAME!) and a tutorial about basic mechanics. I’d be excited to read your feedback in a comment below. Enjoy!
