In my opinion, there’s nothing better than a horror game that doesn’t take itself to seriously. Tattletail is a perfect blend of horror and comedy that is rarely easy to do or done well. They knew their concept was wonderful and silly but they wanted to create something that would also unsettle you as 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 Chuckyor 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.
