Being a fan of classic tales, I was excited to try Once a Tale. As well as following the adventures of the siblings abandoned by their parents in the forest, the integration of other well-known characters is perfectly suited. There are even optional allusions to collectables, such as Jean de La Fontaine's fable The Raven and the Fox. The developers have devoted a great deal of research and respect to the original works. They pay tribute to them in their own way, and it works quite well.
