Tell-Tale Heart is a light-hearted thriller loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. A young man obsessed with an older one plots a wicked plan. Acting upon his impulses, the young man spirals more and more into his obsession. Meanwhile, the neighbours notice and the police get involved. Will the young man contain his obsession in front of the police?

Although one could mistake the story for a very serious one, looking at the characters' designs will convince you otherwise. Nevertheless, this spoof on the old Allan Poe classic is quite entertaining. Cada uses the narrator, who is also the principal character. Inserted throughout the tale, are plugs for Cada's other projects and other similar Easter eggs.

The project's design is odd, in a positive way. Although stepped in a black and white environment, some characters sport colour costumes and yellow teeth. The characters' teeth are also one of the oddest things about them. Looking at them will annoy you. They have gritty little teeth. The animation in this project is simple but the soundtrack and sound effects make up for it.
