About this game

Stories Untold is one of those games that’s hard to explain without just telling you to play it blind, which is sort of the point. It’s an anthology of four short stories, each with its own setup and its own way of making you interact with the world, built around the simple but unsettling idea that the interface itself is the horror. You’re not just watching something creepy happen on an 80s-style CRT monitor. You’re the one typing the commands, tuning the dials, and running the experiments that bring it closer.

How it plays

Each of the four chapters hands you a different mechanical toy box. One leans on old-school text-adventure commands, typed out like you’re back in 1985 fumbling through a parser. Others have you fiddling with analog equipment, processing radio chatter, or running hands-on experiments on objects that clearly shouldn’t be behaving the way they are. There’s no combat and no traditional puzzle-box inventory logic to master. The tension comes from paying close attention: reading instructions carefully, matching what’s on screen to what’s in front of you, and noticing when something in that loop starts to go wrong. The retro synth-wave soundtrack and the grainy, lo-fi visual style do a lot of the heavy lifting too, setting a mood that sits somewhere between nostalgic and deeply wrong.

Who it’s for

This is a great pick for people who like horror that works through atmosphere and uncertainty rather than jump scares or gore, and for anyone who gets a kick out of games that experiment with form instead of settling into one genre for the whole runtime. If you enjoy text adventures, point-and-click logic, or just like fiddling with knobs and switches to see what happens, there’s a lot to like here. It’s less suited to players who want fast-paced action, a long campaign, or mechanical depth they can sink hours into. This is a game built around mood, pacing, and a handful of clever ideas rather than systems you’ll master over time.

Is it worth it?

For the right player, the kind who wants a tight, atmospheric anthology they can sit with over an evening, this is money well spent. It’s not trying to be a sprawling epic, and it shouldn’t be judged like one. What it offers is a handful of genuinely distinct experiences packed into one package, each one short enough to stay sharp and not overstay its welcome. If you’re the type who picks up story-driven indie games during sales to fill out a backlog of memorable, bite-sized experiences, this is exactly the sort of thing worth grabbing when it crosses your path at a discount. It’s not a game you’ll replay constantly, but it’s one that tends to stick with you after you’re done.
