    Storyteller is a delightfully different indie puzzler, and its accessible tale-telling is well worth settling down with for a few hours.

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

    Storyteller is a fascinating game full of laughs and surprises. If you love both comics and videogames, you will enjoy it for sure.

    The game is undeniably gorgeous and clever, and easy to drop in and out of. The stories and characters are fun to experiment with as well, and Storyteller ultimately does a great job at establishing itself as something wholly unique within the puzzle game space. It’s worth experiencing for the chance to get to see everything that could ever happen in a story — from what goes right, to what goes terribly, terribly wrong.

    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.

    Storyteller is a solid and enjoyable puzzle game that takes an interesting core mechanic and runs with it. Its brief runtime, ease and lack of obvious replayability might give some players food for thought, but those who want a fun and relaxing puzzler will enjoy their time with the game.

    For as pleasant and intermittently clever as the game is, its breezy style comes at the cost of any real complexity.

    Like a good book that you simply can’t put down, Storyteller will charm you with its whimsical and inventive gameplay, so much so you’ll finish it in one sitting. But therein also lies its biggest flaw. While Storyteller has a superb foundation and core idea, the puzzle mechanics aren’t challenging, and the gameplay is too short and lacks variety, so you’ll breeze through it in no time at all.

  1. I'd wager you'll have hunnerpercented Storyteller in two hours max, which will sound like mana from heaven to some, but may disappoint you if you've been waiting for Storyteller for over a decade.

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.
