In the context of the game, Nieve has been banished to a place called the Understage and yearns to return to the Fronstage above, accompanied by Drev. The narrative follows their trek towards the top where they discover secrets, revisit tales, and engage with numerous characters and aspects from the enchanted realm of Once Upon A Puppet. As the adventure unfolds, players will simultaneously uncover details about Nieve and Drev’s mysterious bond, which is crucial to the kingdom of theater in the game’s mythology. Throughout their journey, they must confront their inner demons to expose the true essence of “the void” within them, as described in the game’s summary.

In “Once Upon A Puppet,” players will experience a unique gaming approach with two main characters: Drev and Nieve. You’ll have the opportunity to switch between these characters, as they each have distinct skills. The game is deeply rooted in a theatrical theme, which influences every aspect of its design—from the creation of the world and characters to a narrative brimming with dramatic intensity and a delightful serving of vaudeville-style humor, a form of entertainment that blends slapstick comedy, music, dance, magic, and much more.

Originally set for a 2024 release, the theater-themed puzzle platformer Once Upon A Puppet has been delayed and is now scheduled for release on April 23, 2025. The game will be playable on PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch.
