Like the title says, this game rocks, their other game 'Observation' also rocks.
'Stories Untold' is a gem: the narrative is top-notch, the nostalgia trip is here (even if I'm too young for some references, it made me nostalgic), the gameplay is cool and surprising.
Many other things are waiting for you in this game, but you'll have to discover them by yourself.
(Go play 'Observation' after this one).
The game is extremely inventive in its storytelling, and knows how to deliver a proper fright without resorting to jumpscares. It may look like incoherent snippets, but there is a method to its madness.
You'll enjoy yourself playing this. Just don't expect it to last very long.
--Really good storytelling combined with a good story and well achieved atmosphere, and the fact that is told in short stories made this a must for me.--
I loved to read a good book since elementary school, but the thing I always liked more than a good novel is a good short story. Books are great for short stories (Poe, Stephen King, etc), and the only other media I enjoyed them was TV series (Twilight Zone and similar). So, any time I see short stories in other media I jump right to them, but videogames have been really dry in short story territory. Today, it seems more indies are trying to go there, and this is a good example on how to do it.
The game is comprised of 4 stories, but the last one is a tie-in for the other 3. Spoilers, the first stories are linked, but that's not clear until the last one in which they give a sort of explanation.
Anyway, I really like this game, I enoyed the stories a lot (except for the 3rd one), and it helped me to scratch that itch. The stories are pretty well written and the first one is specially chilling. I think they did a great job with the atmosphere and with how they comunicated what they wanted.
I can't really say anything for other aspects of the game, I think graphics and sound are pretty well done, but I usually don't pay attention to that.
The only reason I give it a 4, is because the 3rd chapter. The microfilm was too 'micro' and my TV didn't display it that well, so I needed to check online for what was I'm supposed to read on the microfilm, and that meant using a guide for almost all the chapter.
In the end, I find it with some flaws, but really enjoyable nonetheless.
Excelent atmosphere, and some genuinely scary moments.
Ruined by very poorly written text adventures and a mediocre ending. Trying 20 different commands before guessing the correct phrasing during the climax totally breaks the immersion.
If they took the time to tweak the text bits and fix the typos, it could be a great game.
This game was a great experiance. Im not super familiar with text edventures however if you're new to them like I was; you'll be glad to know that it's very easy to pick up and get going. It has a great over arching build up, wonderfull sound design and pleanty of oint and click materials to keep your brain teased.
Although it liked this game so much that I finished the whole thing in one sitting, the down side to is was that I finished the whole thing in one sitting. Be aware that this game is short however it was very enjoyable and well worth the current asking price of £6.99.
My only other issue is that I wished the game had more branching options or maybe some pointless fun clickables in the background, just for the fun of it.
Would I recomend this game?
Well if you want a quick 4-5 hour experiance and you have £7 to spare, then yes I would recomend this.
Otherwise I'd suggest you wait for a sale.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
