Once Upon a Puppet is a game that succeeds more on its artistic merits and creative vision than its mechanical execution. It's a beautiful, atmospheric adventure that creates a unique and memorable world, even if the journey through it isn't always smooth.

I sincerely love Once Upon A Puppet but its glitchiness and frustration factor are so high that it's hard to widely recommend it. 🧵

Just Play it

Once Upon a Puppet tried to present a new and exciting idea, and it partially succeeded by building a theatrical world with an artistic and visually appealing style, accompanied by music that matches the atmosphere. However, it overlooked everything beyond that. Behind this enchanting curtain lies a shallow gameplay experience with repetitive puzzles and a story that lacks soul. While the game does have a unique identity, it falls short on delivering enjoyment, which causes boredom to quickly take over the experience.

Once Upon a Puppet is an indie 2.5D puzzle-platformer with a lot of charm, but not a whole lot of substance.

Once Upon a Puppet is a gorgeous platformer set in an intriguing world, but poor pacing and average platforming make it hard to easily recommend.
