Spend some time in the village of Tall Tales, helping out a few locals – presumably to make up for a misspent youth!

Turns out you’re still no angel, and despite your willingness to embrace village life and get on with your neighbours, you simply can’t help telling the odd porky-pie!

You might only be trying to save the villagers’ feelings with your white lies, but as you get deeper and deeper in, could these tall tales come back to haunt you?!

Enjoy an easy-going mini adventure in an open world village. Talk to the residents, explore and complete simple tasks. You can expect British humour, dubious voice acting, quirky original music and the art, well, let’s just say we tried really hard!

Hey guys - really hoping someone can help me out here, not sure what else to do 😢

I'm getting a large number of reports of people where the controls just don't work, either keyboard/mouse or gamepad - but for other people it works fine. I've tried it on 3 computers here, and had a number of friends try it, and I can't find anyone in my group that has the problem.

Game is: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/tall-tales

If anyone wants to help, if you play the game and the controls simply don't work (after the first 3 dialogue lines), please could you send me the log located at: C:\Users(your username)\AppData\LocalLow\Baffled Crab\Tall Tales

(Just let me know in the reply here or email me the log file at "octopoid (a) baffledcrab com")

Hey guys, after a false start where the controls didn't work for some people*, we're back with a hotfix for a second launch attempt!

* see bottom of LD page for details

Hello fellow jammers!

After what feels like an eternity, we have finally tracked down* the rare bug that prevented some people from moving after the initial cutscene. Turns out, it's because I am a moron**. The dictionary of dialogue lines was using the local machine culture to match the effectively hard coded IDs from the cutscene scripts. This is now fixed!*

* I really, really hope

** As much as I'd love to pretend otherwise, this means Octopoid

Anyway, if you haven't tried this, or you have and got nothing more than a picture of a door, then please do give it a download!
