I bought a Tale of Tales game pack a while back. They make art games. Short games that are in actual fact very difficult to call games. The worst of them was The Graveyard and the best was The Path. FATALE sits nicely in the middle of them.

It's based on Oscar Wilde's play Salome. Salome is the person who asked for the head of John the Baptist on a platter in the Bible. Basically you play as a prisoner whose head is chopped off and then you fly around a small area and um not do much really. The story of Salome is told in whispers and is actually quite interesting. I just can't help but think that they could have made this game so much better. There are some interesting things that happen but overall I think most people will hate this. In fact when I just started I thought it was horrible, until the story and some ideas changed my mind.

Is it worth a play? Yes. If you own it or can get it for free. And if you go in with an open mind and not really expect a game at all. It's not worth the buy though. It's not even an hour long.
