πŸ† 2023 Playdate Community Awards: Best Adventure Game, Outstanding Technical in a Pulp Game, and Outstanding Pulp Game of the Year Winner!

Words from the developers - "Thank you to everyone in the Playdate community for all of your support! We really wanted to surprise people with what is possible in Pulp and the reception to our little game has been amazing. We set out to make a pocket size adventure packed with secrets and we're delighted with how that has resonated with so many players!"

Discover a handcrafted pocket size world full of secrets!

Play as the hooded adventurer Leit, waking up on a wave-washed beach in a mysterious new land. Explore the musically inspired world, befriend its unusual inhabitants, and discover your part in restoring harmony to a land struck with discordance. Beyond the sights, sounds and secrets of the surface there are four trap laden levels to traverse, from escaping the depths of a castle dungeon to exploring an abandoned mountaintop temple. Wielding sword, arrows and bombs, will you discover all of Harmonia's hidden treasures and reunite the sacred bells?

Resonant Tale features 2-3 hours of gameplay for a casual playthrough (and much more for the committed completionist), 30+ original music tracks, autosave, assistance options, and an unlockable "hardcore" mode.
