## About Stories Untold

Stories Untold is a text-based horror adventure released in 2017 by No Code and published by Devolver Digital. The game presents four short experimental episodes through retro computer interfaces, tasking players with puzzle-solving and text-adventure input while navigating analog-horror themes. Reviewers highlight how the fragmented tape structure creates an unsettling and mysterious atmosphere, while the retro UI interaction blurs the line between game and reality. Players describe the analog-horror approach as building tension without relying on cheap jumpscares, and the nostalgic text-adventure mechanics as adding to the immersive quality. The game achieved a Metacritic score of 81 and holds an 86% positive rating from over 3200 Steam reviews, available for $9.99.
