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. ⚔️ Features: • Retro visuals with no wasted pixels — pure 8-bit soul • Brutally fair levels — no scripts, no handholding • The dragon awaits — but his secrets remain unknown • Living level architecture — doors may mislead • Instant restarts — trial and error, minus the pain • Story told through gameplay — you piece it together yourself 📜 Roadmap: Chapter II — “Deeper Beneath the Castle” Chapter III — “The City Above” • Gamepad support • New hardcore mode • Level editor • Original soundtrack and digital artbook • Competitive challenge mode • Secret levels and bonus content • New enemies — including a particularly... smoky one • Cosmetic unlocks • Storyline expansion • New achievements • Release on mobile platforms
