Playing A Game Stories Untold PC

The free demo for Stories Untold conveys a few messages very powerfully:

  1. These guys know how to write a creepy fucking story. (I would say, moreso than Until Dawn's admirable creep-factor.) The combination of evocative text and well-directed graphical effects makes for a very powerfully-ominous presentation.
  2. I am a scaredy cat.
  3. And... I guess it's pretty short. Of the four stories in Stories Untold, this first one lasted 20 minutes.
  4. Also, phrase-based text adventures suck. As creepy as it can be, trying to guess what keywords the game will parse really ruins the immersion.

If I was into being scared, I would probably be pretty enthusiastic about this. But... since I'm not, the stilted design and apparent brevity is just icing on the no-thank-you cake.
