- Once A Tale will take a bit longer... - 28 March 2024
Hello everyone, We have been telling you for months that the release of Once A Tale would be in March. We are now approaching the date we thought Once A Tale would be ready. However, some things came up at the last moment. The recent feedback from the demo proves to us what we already felt from the beginning: that Once a Tale is something special.
