Comments on A Short Tale - Room Escape for Android

★★★★★ Star Lord C Adventures · Jun 14, 2019
So much fun, wish there was a hints' system, but I found a walkthrough online for the couple of times I got stuck. Great game and loved all the old toys and puzzles
★★★★☆ Frozengeckolover · Dec 31, 2024
Fun game. I had to use a walkthrough several times because I just didn't know what to do with some items. You can take pictures of clues (nice), but the order of the saved pictures is not in chronological order (annoying). All Glitch games seem to do this.
★★★★☆ Johnnie Weddell · Jan 10, 2017
Worth Every Cent! I have to start by stating the 4 instead of 5 stars for a game I loved, is due to what I found to be a few puzzles that were somewhat a leap, even for an avid puzzle game player. Graphics 5 star, controls 5 star. I had to turn music off, I found it too distracting, so 3 stars there. The story is 5 stars, the price is 5 stars, but that annoying fu@%$*& eight-ball and that manic vacuum are maddening. 5 stars to the robot puzzle, it was my favorite. I wish I could give 4.5, but there is not that choice.
★★☆☆☆ Rey Liz · May 15, 2021
Cool game but there are no hints not in the game or the main menu. I've tried everything in settings that I could. It pisses me off because I paid for the game. All the other glitch games that I've played had hints
★★☆☆☆ Karan Kabu · Mar 3, 2020
And I am a big fan of Glitch! (Spoilers ahead) There are puzzles that are so difficult yet u say "Aahhhh I should have got that one." Forever Lost 1 and 2, All that remains and Forgotten room are examples of the best puzzle games ever made. Then there are puzzles that make u say "What? Why would anyone think of that?". The kind that are difficult and don't quite add up logically. Forever Lost 3 and Short tale are sadly examples of some of the worst work of Glitch. Still a Glitch fan forever.
