The launch of Once Upon A Puppet is finally here and we have one more push to get us all into Once Upon A Puppet
We are finally at the day where the story begins and we can start to make our way right through Once Upon A Puppet. Not that we are not going to have the full story by the end of it all with Flatter Than Earth and Daedalic giving us the full game today (April 23rd, 2025). We are getting just that, but it does sound like there is much more to the story than we have been led to believe for Once Upon A Puppet. That is always a good thing to hear when loading up a PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC title. Not to mention something to look forward to in June when the game comes to the Switch out there. But, the game has launched and here we go with one more look at the story that might be stringing us all along just a bit more than we could have thought…
If you have been keeping your eyes on Once Upon A Puppet before now, then you will know some of the story out there and see as Drev and Nieve are going to have some work cut out for them. All so they can rebuild the sets and get the full story of the missing prince out into the world. Our world as well as the one that is taking place in the game. All so we can see more of the pesky hope showing up and give our king in the game a reason to keep on going. All while we get to experience the platforming and puzzles that Once Upon A Puppet has to offer up so we are not just watching a show instead. This is supposed to be a solid blend of all of that to keep us entertained. You can now take to watching the last video we have for the game and see if you will be making it to the curtain call that has now been ushered out there.
