Lionel “Seith” Gallat, a veteran of the film business who previously worked as an animator at Dreamworks and Universal Pictures, created the first game largely as a one-man crew. After earning useful experience on films like The Lorax, Flushed Away, and Despicable Me from Illumination Entertainment, Gallat transitioned to game development and raised money for Ghost of a Tale via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign.
Gamers searching for a game with a similar vibe have a few alternatives as they wait for the release of Ghost of a Tale 2. The most apparent examples will be Styx: Master of Shadows and its follow-up Styx: Shards of Darkness, both of which play similarly to SeithCG’s game in terms of stealth, but with a bit more fighting and fewer talking rodents. And those who preferred playing as an animal with human characteristics should have downloaded F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, which was the free Epic Games Store game on December 26.
