Once Upon a Puppet

Once Upon a Puppet opens like a magical play, taking you into a fantasy stage world where the strings of fate not only connect the characters but also connect the hearts. In this innovative 2.5D platform puzzle adventure game, you will accompany Nieve – an exiled stagehand – and Drev – a puppet brought to life by mysterious magic. The journey back to Frontstage is a journey through memories, darkness and light, reconstructing forgotten stories.

When you are the operator and the puppet at the same time

Unlike any conventional platform game, Once Upon a Puppet turns the gameplay itself into a performance. You not only control the characters, but also pull the strings, pull the curtains, move the stage and props to solve artistic puzzles. The combination of the naive but passionate Drev and the cautious but determined Nieve creates an emotional companion experience where both characters gradually discover themselves in the dimmed spotlight. The way the game is built like overlapping stages gives the feeling that you are living in a play, where every action has a profound meaning.

A kingdom woven of light and shadow

The beauty of Once Upon a Puppet lies in the meticulousness of each frame. The game world is built like a magical theater with moving backdrops, vivid stage lighting, and a mysterious Broadway soundtrack. Each scene carries a nostalgic, sad atmosphere, but is still full of the color of expectation. The villainous creatures – the shadows lurking in the background – are always lurking to pull the curtain early, creating pressure and tension with every step. However, with determination and unity, Nieve and Drev continue to move forward, recreating each forgotten drama.

The journey of self-rebirth

In Once Upon a Puppet, you not only guide two characters through physical challenges, but also help them face deep inner wounds. Nieve carries within her the disorientation, while Drev represents the original faith. When the threads connecting the two souls cannot be cut, they begin to learn to forgive, sympathize and overcome the pain together. Every scene, every dialogue is a piece of the puzzle leading to healing and freedom, taking you to different endings depending on the choices in that emotional journey.
