What is Tattletail?
Tattletail is a short, story-driven first-person horror game set in the 1990s before Christmas. After opening a talking toy early, you feed, brush, and recharge it while trying to stay quiet enough to avoid Mama Tattletail. Shaking your flashlight restores its power but risks making noise.
