FAQ
What is Tattletail about?
Tattletail is a first-person horror game set during Christmas 1998. You play as a child who opens their Tattletail toy early, a Furby-inspired talking creature that demands constant care — feeding, brushing, and charging. Over five nights, you must keep your Tattletail happy while avoiding Mama Tattletail, a larger, more sinister version who hunts you in the dark.
How long does it take to beat Tattletail?
The main game takes about 40-45 minutes to complete across all five nights. The Kaleidoscope DLC adds another 15-20 minutes. A full playthrough of both the base game and DLC takes roughly one hour.
What is The Kaleidoscope DLC in Tattletail?
The Kaleidoscope is a free DLC campaign released on May 9, 2017. It adds a new storyline set after the main game with surreal visual distortions, new ritual sequences, and darker secrets about the Tattletail toys. It features a different ending and expanded lore about Mama Tattletail.
Who is Mama Tattletail?
Mama Tattletail is the main antagonist — a large, damaged version of the Tattletail toy that stalks you through the house. She reacts to noise and light, hunting you whenever your Tattletail makes too much sound. She was recalled by the manufacturer before the game's events, but she keeps coming back to find her babies.
Is Tattletail based on Furby?
Yes, Tattletail is heavily inspired by Furby, the popular 1990s electronic toy. The Tattletail toy shares Furby's design elements — large eyes, beak-like mouth, and demanding care mechanics. The game reimagines the nostalgic toy as a horror concept, set in the same late-1990s era when Furbys were a cultural phenomenon.
