I genuinely enjoyed playing the parts of the game that I have access to, however if I had known that a large amount of the content of the game would not be available on this platform, I would not have bought it, and the frustration from knowing that I paid for a game that I will not have full access to dims my view on the game greatly.

A fun but CRIMINALLY short game. Get it on sale, or not at all.

Storyteller is a fun and cute puzzle game with a twist : the pieces have their own personalities. The goal is to build stories that fit the prompts you're given, but it might not be as straightforward as you think. Marrying the queen and the knight doesn't sound difficult when you have "queen", "knight" and "wedding", right ? Well it turns out the queen doesn't love the knight, so first you have to create a scenario …

neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of people have responded to the 6-8 hour thing, citing this as a problem with D&D specifically, but my own personal experience from playing irl is that every game we played, from Storyteller to Savage Worlds to FATE, took this long, because this was "hanging out with your friends" time

neutral · AI labelView post →A cute game and a good idea, but despite the popularity upon release, the game seems to have been abandoned. The amount of content in the game is pretty minimal, and it's not on the Steam Workshop to allow us to easily make content ourselves. I'm torn between recommending it vs not. You can have many more hours of entertainment from games that cost less, including other puzzle and logic games, so with the price in mind ($15 if not on sale) I guess I have to say that I don't recommend it, at…

neutral · AI labelView post →I kept seeing clips of this game, so of course I had to get it myself. I usually avoid clips so I can experience it for the first time, but this should have been a game I just watched not gonna lie. It was fun, and really had me stuck here and there because I thought I was doing the obviously correct answer (loved the "challenge"). However, I don't think it's a $15 game. It wasn't bad at all, but I was expecting more out of it you know? If I had known there was more content to be added,…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →that was so good but i finished main gameplay + devil levels in less 2 hours ? I still have the stamps but it feels very empty for like 15 euros
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The whole game is beatable in 2hrs or less, even if you're not the most puzzle savvy. The gameplay is honestly really fun, and it has quite a few neat little secrets. But, I wouldn't spend more than $2-3 on it. It's a shame there's no more content updates, because it's full of potential.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun game, but can't recommend it due to a large portion of content being on mobile. Feels a bit scummy to sell a portion of the game for $15 but lock away most of the other content on another platform.

neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, not worth the money. Yeah, it's a fun game but 13 euros for a game you can 100% in 3 hours is just not it... If you really want it, wait for a huge discount or something because otherwise you're just wasting your money...

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a cute game but even simpler than I was expecting. Even at 50% off, I didn't feel it was "worth it" (as the game itself coyly announces with an achievement if you play for 2 hours). Honestly, I wouldn't have even left a negative review if it wasn't for that achievement existing. It felt like the developers know this isn't enough content for the price and decided to rub that in. I understood that achievement to mean "haha now you can't refund this." Which I wouldn't have either way since…

neutral · AI labelView post →I would only recommend buying this game if its heavily reduced as it really is not a lot of content compared to the price point.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rather funny, short and sweet puzzle game that gives you multiple challenges to fill out by arranging characters in specific cards to fit within the (all quite imaginative) story prompt you're given. While the "main" run itself is already cool to tackle, the spins of later game and trying to figure out how to collect all the stamps prolongs the time you spend playing around with the stories. Incredibly unique and cute art style, even when you're beheading people or poisoning them. Every…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a #GM #DM #Storyteller or other name for a #TTRPG referee, you can't really control the rolls (unless you're cheating) or the players (which is half the fun!), but you can control the tone of results. When I'm running a heroic game, I never want to undercut the players and make the characters feel foolish. "You rolled a 1 so you drop your weapon and soil yourself" diminishes the character. Instead, I use that as a chance to make the world feel more dangerous. "You rolled a 1. The bandit in…
