"Stories Untold" offers a unique and fascinating interactive storytelling experience that combines text-adventure, point-and-click, and psychological horror with a gorgeous retro-aesthetic and a sublime synth-wave horror soundtrack. Play the four interconnected vignettes with its own gameplay and mechanics now and join the nightmare!


What we like:
  • Wonderful storytelling, sound design and visuals
  • Real fun gameplay mechanics
  • Short and sweet, can probably be played and finished in a few hours
  • Good mix of horror/tension and puzzle solving
  • A chilling adventure that draws players into its world and slowly twists it into something entirely different
What could be improved:
  • Puzzle answer hidden within a strobe effect which could be harmful
  • Some trial and error on some parts of the mechanics
  • The game's precise typing responses don't always work
