It's really good at what it does. I even got the true ending after some time, but don't let the choices fool you! It's a great game, and it should have a sequel!
I watched a friend stream entirety of the game. Quite the ride. One route seemed quite lackluster, but overall worth your time. Surprised the game is free. The game is absolutely riddled with typos, but I guess that's just what happens with a free game.
I downloaded this game with pretty much no expectations, as it is a free VN of which I had never heard. I have to say, I was very pleaseantly suprised. This is a full fledged VN that's given out completely for free. The story long enough for it (I'm currently around 12 hours in and haven't reached the end yet) and it's really engaging. The characters are charming, the dialogue is fun and the story itself keeps you guessing. On the visual side, the character portraits are really pretty, the backgrounds are nice and detailed and the CG's are gorgeous. I don't have much of an ear for music, but I can say the BGM sets the tone of the scenes well enough. My only complaint with the game is a general lack of polish. The CG's are a bit scarce, the same could be said about the character portraits. There's also the occasional typo here and there. It's completely understandable, as this game was (to my understanding) done almost entirely by a single person. But it's kind of a minor complaint overall, as it never took me away from the overall experience. All in all, great VN. If you're in the mood for a 20-ish hour long read with charming characters, great dialogue and an engaing story, give this one a shot. It's free, so there's nothing to lose. I've been really enjoying this one and can't wait to see how the story ends!

I will start by saying this VN could have made a lot of money if it weren't free. The true end was great. The Overall Story had a good mix of humor and serious content. Each route was a lot of fun, and then Getting the true ending on each route unlock the secret route and that was a blast. There were so many twists and turns that I was flabbergasted at how different each of the the routes ended up being.
How Stories Die is one of the best visual novels I have ever read, it almost feels criminal that this game is free. The plot seems deceptively simple at first, but once you start experiencing other routes, it becomes impossible to predict what will happen next. What you end up with is a meta story filled with plot twists and populated by charming characters. I also love all of the dark and graphic moments this game offers. I hope whoever is reading this will give this game a chance

"How Stories Die" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This garbage high school anime club dropout fan-fiction is an incredibly cringey e-book featuring not one but THREE imaginary anime girlfriends that the author really does have relationships with, but you wouldn't know them, because they go to another school. In Canada. Yes, once more we have a fan-fiction about some guy and his imaginary girlfriends. The cringe here is basically weaponized. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution. So, just like no professional writing took place here, no professional software development took place, either. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now imagine that experience, but with much worse writing (because if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors and this would be on shelves in bookstores, and they wouldn't have to pay Valve $100 to self-publish this on Steam), and you have your average Steam e-book. One of the chief problems with failed authors polluting Steam with non-game E-books is that E-books can easily just be presented in a web browser... there's no justification for charging money on Steam for what might as well be a webpage. We don't spend thousands on buying a gaming rig to spend money on Steam for something Chrome or Firefox could do. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the e-book peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent readers, and now there's basically nobody reading it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. While this E-book has no up-front cost, you can get better quality, professionally written books and comics for free online (from places like Project Gutenberg) or from public libraries. Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games.
