Waygetter Electronics released Tattletail on Steam on December 28th, 2016. With how well their first project turned out, let’s hope we see more from them in the future! Ben and Tom have worked on a few games in the past but this is their first project as a team. The 4 person team includes Ben Esposito and Geneva Hodgson (the concept creators), Ryann Shannon (the voice behind Tattletail), and Tom Astle (lead programmer). After realizing how little time the developers had to work on the project, Tattletail’s visuals and gameplay are even more impressive than before. The team that brought us Tattletail began working on the idea pretty early in 2016, and they worked really hard to get the game released right before Christmas. A well-placed giggle between the screams can really set the pace of a game. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than a horror game that doesn’t take itself to seriously. They knew their concept was wonderful and silly but they wanted to create something that would also unsettle you as well. Tattletail is a perfect blend of horror and comedy that is rarely easy to do or done well. The developers have a healthy respect for the indie horror genre, even if some of them may be too afraid to participate in the games themselves. However, Tattletail handles itself in a unique way, and not only because it’s the first game to take inspiration from furry robots. It’s no surprise that a lot of horror games and movies, like Chucky or Emily Wants to Play, focuses on children’s toys. His overprotective Mamma is there and will do anything to protect her baby. The toy won’t stay in his box and now you have an even bigger problem.
(You know what they say about curiosity!) You discover your gifts and find a talking baby Tattletail toy…out of his box. So, you sneak to the basement in an attempt to find the stash of presents you know your parents have hidden away. Despite only being a few days aways, the excitement is just killing you and you can’t wait any longer. Our main character is a child waiting anxiously for Christmas to come. Waygetter’s Electronic’s Tattletail is a game that plays on that very fear. Just look it up on YouTube and enjoy that rabbit hole! Even lead programmer, Tom Astle, shared his own Furby nightmare: “I’m pretty sure I had one as a kid, I have very distinct memories of trying to teach it to say its name, but I have no idea where it is now and my siblings and parents tell me they don’t remember anything about it…” The toys were rumored to appear in places where they hadn’t been left, would speak with no batteries, and say some pretty dark things. Not that I would know, I never got the Furby I wanted all those years ago…Anyway! Furbys and Teddy Ruxpins (the inspiration behind Mamma) were notorious for giving children nightmares with their supernatural behaviors.
Tattletail, the season’s hottest toy which the game focuses on, obviously resembles a Furby. The game was inspired by the fear of our slightly creepy childhood toys. Weird, you thought its batteries died weeks ago.Įverything about Tattletail screams 90’s from the games trailer to its premise. The season’s hottest toy falls out of the closet and looks at you with big, unblinking eyes as it slowly starts to sing to you. Panicking, your childhood eyes fly open and beeline to your closet door that you swore was fully closed before. Your eyes begin to slowly drift shut as you hear a click from your closet. Imagine you are snuggled safe and warm in your bed with your favorite Toy Story sheets pulled closely to your chin. The games are similar in some ways, including their five-nights structure, horror genre, distinct cartoonlike characters, and jump scares within the game.All of you 90’s kids, take a moment to go back to your childhood. This style to the game could be the part that appeals to FNAF fans. Tattletail has a “five-nights structure” similar to the very popular game Five Nights at Freddy’s. The game features multiple endings, which leaves the player to decide how they are going to play the game leading up to the ending.
#TALKING TATTLETAIL TOY FREE#
This game not only has the elements of a good horror game, it is also free roam and has a sense of adventure and exploring to it as well. Mama quickly becomes the antagonist of the game and it is the player’s job to banish her. The player is then introduced to Mama, a storyteller toy similar to the Talking Tattletail. The game takes you through five nights of doing tasks for the Tattletail the player carries throughout the game.
