Items are automatically selected from your inventory when used, so there's no trace of a point-and-click interface: it's streamlined this way on purpose, as a few of the puzzles are very timing-sensitive. There's only three buttons to worry about beyond movement: jump, pick up item, or use item. The other, more timid brother is then tasked with rescuing him.Д¬reepy Tale has some Limbo/ Inside vibes, largely owing to it being a 2D platformer-adventure game with a young male lead, but it's far more puzzle-focused and not nearly as unsettling (for better and worse). Inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm - the studio is even called Creepy Brothers - Creepy Tale is a vaguely Teutonic tale about a pair of brothers picking mushrooms in a forest, when one is captured by a shaggy creature after chasing a golden butterfly.

Creepy Tale reminds me of the Frog Detective games: not in the sense that they share an aesthetic or a sense of humor, but in how they seem to be propagating fairly quickly by being relatively brisk in size and reusing some of same tech from game to game: exonerable in this case because the core of both series can be found in its puzzles and stories, rather than complex new mechanics or anything else that might require an expensive and time-consuming engine do-over. I've been knee-deep in horror games from 2017 for this month's Dredge of Seventeen entry, but one more couldn't hurt (my cardiologist might have a different take though).
