    I usually finish 99% of my games and i have a preety big collection. This game is one of the few that i couldn't finish. I finished the detective story and half of professors. I bought a collectors edition with some artwork and music disk. Waste of money and time. The concept of the story is interesting enough to try the game, but i was left dissapointed. Characters are dull, save pointsI usually finish 99% of my games and i have a preety big collection. This game is one of the few that i couldn't finish. I finished the detective story and half of professors. I bought a collectors edition with some artwork and music disk. Waste of money and time. The concept of the story is interesting enough to try the game, but i was left dissapointed. Characters are dull, save points are preety rare and it doesn't represent the challenge trying to replay levels over and over (because game is preety dificult) ,but it is very boring. Game doesn't do anything to make you to play more and i tried really hard to motivate myself to finish. Unfortulately, i expected at least a mediocre game, and all i got was preety uninspirational roguelite. I was realising i'm losing time with this, uninstaled it and started something else. Overall - Good theme and a really, really bad game..… Expand

    Pros.:
    - Lovecraft setting.
    - Art is good than bad.
    - Lovecraftian stories' details and characters.
    - Variability.

    Cons.:
    - Boring.
    - Super boring.
    - Amazingly boring after you unlock the Witch. They should have done all the stories and locations different. But you run in the similar environment almost non-stop. That's a bummer.
    - Thief is too buffed. That I loved.

    No, too much low points :
    -Really too hard
    -Lot of death but no power-up like in other rogue like
    -Too much hiden objects to find
    -Killing boss of each level isn't enough to finish the game
    -Ugly Graphisms
    -I lost 15h of my life for this

    An interesting choice in creating a game based in Lovecraft's works, combining a highly addictive gameplay style with a horror packed atmospheric setting and a decent story.

    Lovecraft’s Untold Stories is a competent, yet a bit repetitive, twin stick shooter with a good atmosphere, some depth and a very interesting pixel art take on the genre. Fans of the genre and the theme should take an interest here.

    This Lovecraftian roguelike does something very clever - it’s not punishingly difficult. Instead, it relies on a strong mystery plot. Unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
