    Storyteller from developer Daniel Benmergui is yet another feather in the cap of Annapurna Interactive. It’s a cleverly designed puzzle game that does a superb job of pushing the importance of visual storytelling as it relates to a narrative. While its longevity might be in question, the journey through the game is good enough to forgive that is even an issue.

    Storyteller is both a very good puzzle game and an excellent source of humor. The scenarios are a mix of pieces from classical literary works, but their simplified nature makes for some head-scratchers, even for those mildly familiar with the works these were inspired by. The simple animations and illustrations are captivating to look at and make everything naturally funny. You will wish that Storyteller were a longer experience,l but if you’re good with the short playtime, you’ll have a ton of fun with it.

    Storyteller takes the concept of "topos" and extends it greatly, basing the entire gameplay on it, and does so competently by teaching the player about the traits of characters and locations, and giving them the freedom to experiment. I would have liked Storyteller to be more daring with experimentation, giving us the opportunity to play more with its extraordinary concept, but even so, it's an interesting divertissement that will make for a very enjoyable evening. Highly recommended.

    Although it’s short and some of its levels may feel a little repetitive, we can’t help but like Storyteller. It’s not going to set your world on fire, but the two-or-so hours you spend with it, working through its levels, will provide you with plenty of challenge – and just as many smiles. It’s an innovative concept, and we’d love to see it expanded upon in future releases.

    Despite its generic name, Storyteller should hopefully grab the attention of puzzle fans with its charming presentation and engaging design.

    Though Storyteller's premise might be creative, its repetitive puzzles and lack of challenge quickly make the game feel stale.

Resulta increíble recrear, referenciar y parodiar -en una suerte de guiño borgeano- obras clásicas de la literatura universal mediante el uso de variaciones en escenarios, personajes y actos. Su criticada brevedad no toma en cuenta que el juego sabe cuando concluir para no agobiar -hecho que se ve reflejado en su formato episódico-. A la espera de nuevos proyectos Expand

No puedo entenderlo. No está cerca de ser una obra maestra, pero el tiempo de desarrollo se hace visible, el cariño que hay detrás también. Tiene un concepto original que se adapta a pocos paladares. Es cierto que su duración es bastante corta, pero eso no lo hace un mal videojuego, de hecho, siento que en un futuro cercano va a lograr un mejor recibimiento.
    Por mi parte puedo decir que valió la pena esperar tanto tiempo para poder jugarlo.

    Why do people hate this video game? I can't understand it. I can say this is not close to being a masterpiece, but the development time is visible, as well the love behind it.
    It has an original concept that adapts to few palates. It is true that its duration is quite short, but that does not make it a bad video game, in fact, I feel that in the near future it will achieve a better reception.
    For my part I can say that it was worth waiting so long to be able to play it.
