故事織造家

Hey Folks, If you’re Keen to know more about Daniel Benmergu’s Storyteller- an adorable puzzle game focused around telling tales- you're in luck! Narrative Nuance And  a bit of irony. Because, despite the fact that this is a game centered around the idea of storytelling- there isn’t really an overarching narrative to latch onto. Weird, I know. Spinning Tales Still, that doesn’t mean you’re bereft of stories. It just means it’s your job to piece them together. In fact, that’s the overall premise of the game- as each stage is based around fulfilling the prompt you’re given, such as ‘Everyone Rejects Edgar’ or ‘A Husband Kills his wife’.

Storyteller is a charming puzzle game where you literally need to tell stories in order to solve the puzzles and achieve the required ending. 🟩Pros +captivating gameplay +fun puzzle mechanics 🟥Cons -too short Storyteller is a unique drag and drop puzzle game with fascinating novel mechanics and a cute medieval inspired artstyle. You are given multiple empty panels for a given scenario, plus a multitude of settings and characters to place per scenario. It’s up to you to arrange them in a way that will fit the scenario’s objectives. Be it somebody dying, living happily ever after, or getting revenge; you need to satisfy the objective in order to solve the puzzle.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you love quirky and unique indie games, as long as you don’t mind said games also being extremely short. Smarter and better writers than I have compared the art of putting together a great story to piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Storyteller literalizes that metaphor, turning the characters, scenes, and scenarios of high drama into pieces that can be dragged and dropped and shifted around at will. This results in an entertaining exercise of brainpower and creativity, albeit one that’s over almost as quickly as it begins.
