Doesn't feel like a finished game. Neat tile placing mechanics. Pretty Graphics Plenty of bugs (dead tiles, missing pieces of tiles, character not following the marked path) Not a ton of content either. Neat idea but need to be completed to be worth the price tag.

About This Game
A young wanderer is lost in the forests, and accidentally unleashes something evil. A group of strangers need to become friends and find their own path to salvation to lift the curse that has befallen the land.

Once Upon A Tile has you explore ever-changing dungeons guarded by monsters, traps and magical challenges. Perhaps you need to navigate a trap-filled corridor to the end, or defeat a certain amount of monsters or collect enough treasures to make it through alive. The reasons will change, but the goal remains the same - build the dungeon as you explore it, and avoid traipsing over too many traps or monsters you can not defeat yet. This will require a little bit of luck and a whole lot of strategic planning.
While you play as a hero, you do not move directly. Instead, you follow the shortest paths to the newly discovered dungeon rooms you are exploring. This makes for a very unique and challenging game, where every steps and tile you place counts.
Once Upon A Tile features:
- endless replayability with procedurally generated dungeon-decks
- unlockable and upgradable characters
- an engaging, fully voiced storyline depending on which character you choose to play
- complex mechanics that require you to think carefully, but easy to learn gameplay

User Reviews
Nice and relaxing puzzle game with cute story and voiceover. At least the first parts are not very tricky, so ample opportunity to optimize. Music and graphics are also very nice. I didn't have any performance or bug issues, although my laptop is OLD. I guess these problems have been fixed in the recent patch.
