I’ve done some research on Napple Tale, and been led to a company called Chime. What role they played in development, I’m unsure. Although I’m positive I’ve read, several places, that OverWorks was behind the game, one would think if that were the case they would claim credit for it. Yet there’s nothing about the game on their site — and nowhere, in any media about the game, is credit for the game’s development taken by anyone other than a vague “SEGA”.

All in all, this is rather suspicious and strange. Did Sega outsource Chime (whoever they are) to make the game, or did they buy the rights from them? Or some other scheme? What part do they have in this?

The mystery continues.
