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.
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.
As much as we’d love to go into greater detail about what exactly makes Stories Untold such a successful adventure game, it really is the type of experience you need to check out first-hand.
Stories Untold is a chilling adventure that manages to draw us right into its world through the ingenious use of its UI and perfectly realised lo-fi aesthetic. Through the walls of old technology and complicated machinery, it creates a uniquely strong bond between player and narrative, giving you a real sense of place within its world as it slowly corrupts and twists from the comfortingly familiar to something else entirely. It's one of the best interactive horror stories we've ever played and a perfect fit for enjoying alone in the dark on Switch.
If you're looking for a tense, unnerving experience in a simple yet eerie setting, this is it.
This version of Stories Untold is not the best - you'll miss the feeling of keyboard typing - but these stories are still worth hearing.
