Critic Reviews for Stories Untold
An atmospheric collection of clever, surprising interactive short stories with a gorgeous retro aesthetic.
Wistful, lovingly textured and highly experimental, Stories Untold is a haunted house adventure with a difference.
Playing an 8-bit style text adventure on the Nintendo Switch is novelty enough but this inspired mix of weird horror and puzzle-solving is more than just a blast of '80s nostalgia.
The puzzles are unrelenting and unforgiving, but those who rise to the challenge are rewarded with spooky sequences and an emotional showstopper of a finale
Short horror anthology Stories Untold preys on technological nostalgia, which works three times out of four.
Stories Untold is a very interesting and engaging horror title, building a huge story that taps into your imagination before expertly drawing that scope back in. A couple of puzzles don't quite stick the landing, but the game is engaging over its three hours.
This version of Stories Untold is not the best - you'll miss the feeling of keyboard typing - but these stories are still worth hearing.
