4/5 ★ – nolanam's review of Stories Untold.

I have a lot of affection for text-only interactive fiction type games, and recently have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the "computer games where you use a computer" subgenre like Quadrilateral Cowboy and Pony Island, so think this was bound to please. Add to that the drift into Papers, Please "follow the instructions" and yeah, this was extremely my shit. The tone is aces as well, from the very start. I'm hard pressed to find a game that creates as eerie a feeling as when you are about to enter the room you know you are in during the first chapter - had no idea what was going to happen and it creeped me the heck out. I think there's a divide between gameplay and narrative that could have possibly been linked more effectively, but that's not enough to really detract from the overall experience, and I liked both elements individually a whole lot.
