The Long Tale Demo

The Long Tale

by Syrnik Interactive 🕹️

You are a brave knight, arriving at the castle to save the princess.

But, as it often goes, she’s already gone.

The dragon, however, is still here.

The Long Tale is a hardcore pixel platformer with a black-and-white aesthetic inspired by the 8-bit era. Each level is a deadly trap, each step a decision, and death is not punishment — it’s progress.

• Brutally fair levels — no scripts, no handholding

• The dragon awaits — but his secrets remain unknown

• Living level architecture — doors may mislead
