More please
Well it's simple.... Its a text based storie horror/suspense teller, very well done and very entertaining. Great 80's feel, simple but very well put together music and graphics. The only complaint is the lenght... Make more, bigger and better.

Complete immersion
I can't remember the last time I was so immersed in a game from the get-go right through to the finish. While this game isn't the longest, I definitely would not call it short. The four chapters provided me with around 4 hours of gameplay; But it's not just the length that counts, it's also the depth. I don't want to give anything away storywise, but this, aside from the supremely well-done atmosphere, is where this game truly shines. As an avid bookreader I couldn't help but notice a gifted writer's hand behind this game. There's plot twists, superb play with tension and even a nice touch of "meta" going on. Sound effects and graphics are top-notch. The '80's theme is well done, the music is great, the voice acting perfect. The story is engaging, surprising and exciting. The gameplay varies a lot between the chapter to keep things itneresting, but remains consistent nonetheless, making you use old equipment but sometimes also allowing you to walk around yourself. I want to congratulate the makers of this game. It was an unforgetable experience. I'm looking forward to their next project already.

A gripping experience
A solid four stars and here is why. The game which is split in four episodes is good pick for every adventure fan. If you love the obscure and mysterious stories it is a must play. The game has decent puzzle elements and after the first episode I was emotionally invested. I wanted to unravel the mysteries and find out for myself what happened. As crazy as it may seem while playing, it all made sense in the end. Good game, maybe even excellent but I cannot talk about that missing star because of Spoilers ;) Although it is only a 3 to 4 hour ride you should give it a try!

Video Novel with a great narrative
Stories untold is one of the titles that make you realize, that video game might be the wrong term when the medium evolves into its adolescense. The game has adventure mechanices well implemented, but it is fun only in the 2nd or 3rd degree and mainly focused on a dark tone in a dark story and it is well done that way. The multilayer retrospective commentary on computer history itself, adds up for the story and the medium itself. The game is set in the 80's and as an interaction with media from that time. Being told over the length of 4 episodes, it focuses on one or two core mechanics per episode until it mixes them up in the 4th episode. In that regard I find the game convincing and interesting. It is impressive that a game in 2017 can be convincing by implementing mechanics that in part are about 30 years old. But there are two main critique points: focussing on one or two mechanics per episode, begins to fall flat in the 2nd one and almost fails in the 3rd. What saves this one is, it has the most convincing puzzles, that do not just feel like clicking through the story. But it felt repetitive at that point. The game has just about the right length. Shorter and it it would take away from the story; longer, and the gameplay wouldn't hold up. The 2nd critique is about the story's resolution. MILD SPOILERS: How it is played out, it shouldn't happen at all, given that the protagonist is not the only one involved and therefor aware of the situation. The situation is so avoidable, that the twist almost falls flat in the end. It doesn't take away from their point and from the presentation, but it certainly undermines the otherwise high quality throughout the game. Due to the dark tone this game certainly isn't for everyone but a really good one in that niche, when it comes to presentation, gameplay and narrative. A Must? No. But it is a game you won't forget or regret, when you can open yourself for its unique approach. It certainly is a rare gem.

Fantastic retro themed thriller
Let's start with the good. If you liked Stranger Things or even if you haven't seen it, but still have a nostalgia about the 80s, particularly 80s microcomputers, then you will love the setting the game thrusts you into. If someone told me I would have this much fun playing a text adventure game in 2017 I would not have believed them, but once I started this game up for the first time I couldn't stop until I finished it. The game is set across four different episodes with the fourth being split into several distinct segments that force you to use the knowledge and experience you've gained in the first three to make your way through. The first episode is fully text based adventure, but not quite. Rather than just staring at text and a prompt you take a first person perspective of someone else playing the game with elements around you and outside of the game screen coming into play. Very tense at points where I had to force myself to continue. Some genuine horror happening here. The second episode feels the weakest as it's just a case of "follow the instructions", but it is incredibly intense in the story it weaves, nonetheless. The third episode was a fantastic bit of puzzle solving and critical thinking. The first person interlude where you walk around was jarring after playing this long while not moving and the controls were not quite responsive and it was easy to get stuck on the terrain. I can forgive it these things as this isn't where the core gameplay lies and it's short enough. The fourth and final episode I won't spoil, but it has you revisiting the skills you learned in the first three episodes, but with a twist on each one that really makes you think even further outside the box. I can't say enough good things about this one. The only real negative I have is the length to price ratio. I feel that 2 hours of game for $10 is a bit steep. I got it at 25% off which feels closer to a fair deal, though the game was good enough that I will not complain.
