Introduction
Today we are going to look at a new demo. This demo is only available if you have supported the developers on their Patreon page. I have also made a promotional video for this game. Today we are going to look at the game Misc a Tiny Tale, This game is a new and upcoming 3D platformer with cute robots and a lot of challenges. This review is going to be shorter because only chapter 1 is playable at this current moment. How good is this game at this current point of developement?
Story
You are a robot who is living in a small peaceful village. Nothing ever happens and life is great. You have a buddy called Bagboy who is very different than the other robots. Bagboy also has a cat named Flick. One night suddenly there seems to be something like an explosion, shiny golden cogs rain down from the sky. Bagboy always wanted to leave and sees this as a golden opportunity. You agree with Bagboy and decide to find out together where the cogs came from! Together you will start a new adventure and explore the lands behind the village.

I like the story of Misc. a Tiny Tale but I also want to leave room for improvement in this rating for when the full game launches!
Gameplay
Misc. a Tiny Tale is a 3D platformer where you need to collect a lot of items but mostly robot-related items. You will find nuts that act as currency and golden cogs to progress the game. These cogs are not there just laying around on the ground for you ( well some of them are in the beginning) these golden cogs usually require that you complete a puzzle. For some of the puzzles, you might need a weapon that you can buy in the store with nuts. Currently only chapter 1 is available for the patreon supporters, who knows what lurks behind the walls of the village?
To solve puzzles you can use a set of skills that you can perform in this game. Double jumping and hovering are required. You will also find challenges underground that will test your mettle. These challenges are needed for certain items to gain golden cogs. Can you collect all the golden cogs?Â

Sound and Graphics
Graphics
I like the playful theme of Misc. a Tiny Tale, I also wonder what is behind the village gates. The puzzles and shops look well made but I also wonder if there will be enemies in the future. The world is also very large but you are tiny which I always appreciate in games. This concept reminds me of Supraland, you can read this review here:

Sound
I like the soundtrack and sound effects of Misc. a Tiny Tale. It feels like one of the robots keeps saying * nagels nagels nagels* which is a dutch word. the word translates into nails. This made me laugh!

What is my personal thought about Misc. a Tiny Tale
I made a promotional video on Misc. a Tiny Tale and I had a lot of fun while I was playing the demo. I wanted to make the promotional video longer than the developer and I had intially agreed upon. because I was enjoying the game a lot. That is when the hard reality kicked in, only chapter 1 is available. Now I am waiting for more chapters to be released!
