Tale of Tales is a games development studio, founded by Auriea Harvey 
and Michaël Samyn in Belgium in 2002. The purpose of Tale of Tales is to 
create elegant and emotionally rich interactive entertainment, to 
explicitly cater for people who are not enchanted by most contemporary 
computer games, or who wish for more variety in their gameplay 
experiences. To this end all of their products feature innovative forms 
of interaction, engaging poetic narratives and simple controls. Tale of 
Tales started life with the design of 8, an epic single player PC 
adventure game inspired by the various versions of the folk tale, 
Sleeping Beauty.

Maria Chatzichristodoulou [aka maria x] is a PhD Candidate at the 
Goldsmiths Digital Studios and Drama Department, University of London & 
Sessional Lecturer at Birkbeck College FCE.
