This game is currently in the Humble Choice for October 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before November 7th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

Seriously stop rhyming.

A Juggler’s Tale tells the story of a girl who escapes from the circus, though it’s not clear why she was locked in a cage, or what is going on other than an attempt to get a Limbo or Inside style game. In the story, the girl is a puppet in a stage play, but also that’s part of the gameplay, as the wires get caught on things. It’s a strange idea, but a unique one that does make for a couple of interesting puzzles.

There’s one big issue, the writing in this game is bad, like horribly bad. The narrator rhymes everything, and they’re not even good, interesting, or clever rhymes, but it’s just incessant to the point where I muted the narrator even with the subtitles. Also, there’s not much else to stand out and the puzzles are what you expect from an “inside” or “Limbo” Game, not much more than that, sadly.

Pick this up if you want an average game. This is a title I don’t hate but I don’t like, it’s okay. But I want so much more or something interesting. It takes about two hours to beat, but the narrator makes it hard for me to recommend, even then, nothing makes me say not to buy it, if that makes sense. It’s just that average.
