Ghost of a Tale

Story

Ghost of a Tale is set in a medieval world inhabited by various types of anthropomorphic animals, many of which inhabit their own kingdom: Mice, rats, frogs, crabs, badgers, hawks, spiders, leeches, magpies and various undead creatures are among them. The game is set centuries after a cataclysmic event known as the War of the Green Flame. During this time, a mysterious ball of emerald fire of unknown origin swept across the world, killing all who opposed it and turning their bodies into an ever-growing undead army. At the height of the conflict, the Mouse Kingdom sent an emissary to the Flame to try to save their homeland by exposing the weaknesses of others, but the creature could not be reasoned with and still destroyed most of their land. In the end, it was the rat army that rose up to finally defeat the creature and drive the mice out of the country's government forever for their treachery. Hundreds of years later, the exact story of these events has faded into time. The only true account is found in the oral traditions of a group of magpies, the Truthspeakers, who live in a tower on an ancient island. At the beginning of the game, Tilo Maus is thrown into a dungeon by rats: He must escape from his prison and the surrounding lands. The many enemies Tilo faces are much stronger than he is: The brave little mouse must be clever, stealthy and agile to succeed!
