Dreadful Tales is a hidden object game series developed by Eipix Entertainment.
A peculiar curiosity shop, run by a friendly yet strange man, catches your attention. Upon entering the shop, the owner says that his shop holds items tied to people who are the subject of terrifying tales. Showing each item, he begins telling the tale of the lost item's owner and what followed...
...That is when the story is experienced from the perspective of the one who is connected to the lost treasure as they witness and struggle to survive the horrors thrown their way. After all, every story holds a grain of truth...
