If you’re a stranger to the indie gaming community, then Tale of Tales–comprised of leads Auriea Harvey and Michael Samyn–is a developer worth knowing. If you’re not a stranger, then chances are you know exactly who Tale of Tales is and just how obscure their titles can be (flash back to October 2009 with Geoff announcing Fatale). After releasing an iPhone/iPod Touch exclusive title in Vanitas, Tale of Tales has now released The Graveyard–two years after its original release on PC and Mac OSX.

The Graveyard is a short game in which players take control of an elderly woman walking through a cemetery. Yup, that’s about all the game entails but obviously there is a lot more to uncover in the actual experience.

“The Graveyard offers a player the opportunity to imagine themselves in a certain situation. It’s not a game in the sense that there is a way to win or lose or a puzzle to solve, or even a story to uncover. But the interaction does immerse you in a virtual world filled with narrative, an equally powerful feature of the medium of videogames. The iPhone version of The Graveyard is the same as the PC version. Only a few elements have been removed or simplified to allow it to run on the iPhone hardware. But the fact that you hold the game in your hand and touch it with your finger, adds to the sensation of fragility and preciousness.”

The Graveyard is available on the App Store for $1.99. As with the PC/Mac versions, there are both a lite and full version available. According to the developer, the only feature that the full version adds is the possibility of death. For a gameplay video on PC, check out the following.
