story
161 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is widely praised for its charming, heartwarming, and bittersweet fairy-tale style, delivered with beautiful art, narration, and music that create an immersive storybook experience. While simple and short, it evokes strong emotional connections and character growth, making it the main appeal despite some criticisms of its brevity and gameplay elements. Overall, reviewers consistently highlight the story’s warmth, relatability, and unique presentation as its greatest strengths.
“The story is also delivered like it's a storybook, and the narrator does a really good job bringing it all together.”
“It is a 2D puzzle platformer that might somewhat remind you of something like ICO (with the two main characters swapped around in their roles), in that the puzzles / platforming elements are rather light; the game mostly focuses on delivering a character-centric fairy-tale-like story that is equal parts heartwarming and bittersweet, accomplishing this with impeccable presentation and style.”
“This game made me ugly sob my eyes out, it's genuinely amazing, the ending is just perfect, the art style is immaculate, the story is so beautiful, I loved every second that I played.”
“Story is quite a bit cheap and gets weird.”
“Would have liked some more gameplay/story after the prince gets his sight back and knows of the princess her true identity.”
“As a cute children story and presentation I would say it is a solid 8/10 but as a game it is really sloppily done.”

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is, for the most part, a game that’s insultingly easy. That is, until it isn’t. Then it just becomes a bit frustrating.
60%The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince Review
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince is a charming platform-puzzler with a captivating fairytale aesthetic that can't help but draw you in. Unfortunately, things take a dark turn thanks to clunky mechanics and uninspired level design. The lore is fantastic and the presentation remarkable, but ultimately, it's hard to come away from this game feeling anything but disappointed.
