Ghost of a Tale, the PC adventure game from ex-Dreamworks and Universal animator Lionel Gallat, has updated the project page on IndieGoGo with a small video clip of the character Crab.

It looks interesting to me at any rate. I’d play it eagerly. The CryEngine 2 project has nine days left to reach its €45,000 goal, and so far, €23,428 has been pledged. You can donate through the link, and watch the character videos below.
