This game admittedly flew under my radar at the time of its release (2017) and it wasn’t until I saw it for sale on the Epic Games site that I was reminded of it. If you are looking for something different to do on Halloween night – check out this game!
‘Stories Untold’ is comes to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on today, according to publisher Devolver Digital. The horror anthology will be available on both consoles for the first time, which should allow new players to give the game a spin.
If you are not familiar with ‘Stories Untold’ it is a narrative-driven experimental adventure game, that bends the genre into something completely unique. Combining a mix of classic text-adventure, point-and-click and more, 4 short stories are packaged together into a single mysterious anthology that has been described as “a fantastic, fascinating example of interactive visual storytelling” and earning widespread critical acclaim since release.
The game pulls together 80s retro nostalgia, innovative and experimental genre-defying gameplay, and tense, psychological horror to create “one of the most fascinating and unique tales you can play.”
