Tale of Tales (ToT) is a group dedicated to the creation of original interactive experiences. Founded in 2002 by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn they currently have four (The Path, The Graveyard, Fatale and The Endless Forest) titles available for PC and Mac and one project on hold ('8'). These titles are more akin to interactive poems or storybooks than what would be traditionally be regarded as a 'game', but the are engrossing experiences that form deeper ties with you avatar during the short time you spend in their worlds than most games achieve in ten hours.
This interview was submitted a few weeks before Fatale's release (currently available from the ToT web site) so forgive an continuity anomalies in my questions.
Hardcore Gamer: The game survived from 2006 onward, but keeping the game running has proved tough. After all, it’s a free MMO! Tale of Tales took to Indiegogo to help fund the “second decade” of The Endless Forest.
Josh Griffiths writes: "You may remember the first person exploration game Sunset from Kickstarter a few years ago. You may also remember its developer, Tale of Tales. They announced that Sunset was a financial failure, and that they felt they had no choice but to walk away from the comercial gaming industry for good. Fast forward to Halloween 2016 of all days, and the company seems to have reversed their decision somewhat."

10 awesome and obscure horror games you probably haven't heard of. What offbeat horror games do you love? Let us know in the comments!
Eternal Darkness is pretty popular. A better entry would've been Clock Tower.
I have Haunting Ground on the PS2 and Siren Blood Curse on the PS3. Both of those games are pretty good.
DeSpiria for the Dreamcast it's a strange horror RPG evolving around a special agent sent to discover an underground cult. It's set in a dystopian future after World War III which leads to some serious creepy atmosphere. The character designs are questionable but it flourishes in monster design and disturbing music (which would have been so much better in full-length but tracks are limited to 20 second loops.) I await the day I am fluent in my Japanese studies so I can play this game in it's entirety.

Haunting Ground, Galerians and Rule of Rose deserves mentions as well. I would go on about these three but I doubt you guys want to read a novel....
