Tale of Tales very first game set for commercial release titled "8". The game is about a little girl that explores the mystery of a palace where everyone has mysteriously fallen asleep.

The Endless Forest was Tale of Tales second game, and they were able to finish and release it by 2005 with 700 backers to support them. This game was their way of subverting the typical tropes and gameplay features of mmorpgs (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) that are typically very popular in the gaming industry. They removed most of the features that are key to this genre of game, like chat boxes for people to communicate with, violence like fighting monsters or enemies, no missions to complete for experience, and no competition between players. Tale of tales simply encourages players of this game to "Just run through the forest and see what happens".

This game called Vanitas, was Tale of Tales first attempt at a mobile game, in hopes that it would help them further reach their goal of making an interactive art experience shaped purely by the player. The game is quite simple, it presents the player with a box full of objects, and the more they manipulate their phone, the more things change insides the box in an interesting series of responses to the players outside influence.

This game called Fatale, takes place in what events Tales of Tales thought happened after a story from the Christian Bible involving a Judean princess, a King by the name of Herod, and John the Baptist. Tale of Tales actually modeled the game as a successor to a 19th century play of the story written by Oscar Wilde. The player's goal in this game, as said by the company, is to "...unravel how the passion of a woman can lead to the death of a man."

The Graveyard is a simple story, where the player walks around a graveyard as an old woman. All there is to do is admire the scenery, sit on a bench and reminisce as soft Italian music plays. To end the game all the player has to do is leave the graveyard, however, there's a twist. If someone is playing the full official release of the game, there is the chance that the old lady may die during their gameplay. This game was very controversial for the company, as it was their first game that was the most blatant example of a game being used to make an art piece. Most people that played it were angry at how unsatisfying the game was to them, and many called it a "walking simulator" as an insult to the piece

The Path is one of Tale of Tales most successful games in their career so far, with The Endless Forest right behind it in success factor. This may be because both feel the most like a conventional game to those who played it, especially The Path. The player gets to choose any of the six sisters presented to them in the start screen of the game. The goal is for the character the player chooses to stay on the path while on the way to their grandmother's house, however, the game will never progress unless the player chooses to go off the path. From there, they will explore what happens to each girl once they leave the path, when they each meet their unique version of the big bad wolf. This entire game is a re-telling of the child hood story of little riding hood, but in six different ways, that each explore how girls in their youth encounter all the dangers and changes as they grow up.
