Storyteller

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

the game was fun and i enjoyed playing it, but as a million other reviews have said, it's not nearly enough content for how much it costs. i'm not very good at puzzle games and i still finished the entire thing in under 3 hours

honestly a very short game. beat it under 2 hours and refunded it

Storyteller je fakt skvělá hra. Každý level tě nechá doslova režírovat vlastní drama a je neskutečně satisfying sledovat, jak tvoje šílené nápady ožívají. Grafika je cute, hádanky jsou chytré a hra tě nutí přemýšlet kreativně místo obyčejného "najdi správnou odpověď". Pokud miluješ logické hry a zároveň trochu žiješ pro chaos, tohle je totální must-play.

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 for her to fall in love ! The game is full of little details like that, which make you care about the characters. For instance, of the two young maidens, only one is happy to murder people who anger her, while the other is more prone to killing herself, so they fit different kinds of stories. (And sometimes you're not given the one that would make the story easier to tell !) These limitations are what make the game interesting in my opinion. It's short, but well executed. There are achievements that require you to create some very elaborate scenarios, but I found them too obscure to be really engaging. They can make you discover fun interactions you hadn't seen yet, but I think they're mostly there to make the game artificially longer. That said, all in all a very good game if you have a few hours to spare and enjoy puzzles ! (Steam considers I played 0,3 hours because I played offline, but in reality it took me about 4 hours.)

在B站和抖音看到UP主玩这款游戏，产生了兴趣，遂入手。但玩完后，我颇感失望。 最大的问题在于游戏实在是太短了。通关主线+魔鬼关卡只需要一个半小时，如果加上邮票全收集的话，我猜时间不会超过2.5小时。加上重复游玩性较差，这对于￥60的游戏（促销时是￥30）来说是有些致命的，因为会使性价比非常低。 还有就是游戏的简体中文翻译存在问题，存在误导性。例如有一篇故事的标题为《骑士与侍女私合弑君》，乍一看以为是骑士和侍女先私合，再弑君，但实际的顺序恰恰相反。 综上，我认为这款游戏更适合看实况视频而非亲自购买游玩。已申请退款。

it's a puzzle game who manages to be both simple and complex at the same time. The only issue I personally have is that [spoiler]two of the stamps requires you to know the rough plots of two pieces of literature. Not everyone has read them[/spoiler].

个人游玩印象：震撼神作 [b][u]超级喜欢[/u][/b] 玩得开心 略有失望 强忍玩完 后悔购买 全成就追求：通关即拿 [b][u]简易补齐[/u][/b] 硬核冲刺 以后再说 枯燥堆时 手残放弃 最被预览图低估的一款游戏，本来看上去就是填空写故事，但真正上手了才知道前后情节都是有逻辑关联的，比如王后必须先看到国王和侍女偷情才能对国王心生恨意，然后才能绑架国王或者砍国王头（路 易 十 六）或者把国王踹下悬崖，如果没有恨意就不会有这些互动。这就让游戏的推理元素飙升，比单纯解谜更要有深度一些，云玩家和真正上手玩的玩家会有巨大的体验差异，成功按要求完成故事后也非常有成就感。等玩到恶魔之后更是多样性飙升，恶魔可以骗人可以凿船还可以卡住断头台，就进一步增加了可玩性，可惜恶魔关卡还是太少，其实我感觉深度再扩一点的话说不定能媲美Zach Like解谜的（笑）。 缺点就是翻页不方便，不知道为啥不直接搞个目录，点击章节就能跳转，结果现在只能一章一章翻。还有一些目标描述有些模糊（有些是翻译问题有些是原文），比如泰妮得到一个吻，但[spoiler]在公主忘恩负义支线里显然要让泰妮去吻青蛙公主，这也能叫泰妮得到一个吻吗，有点牵强[/spoiler]。然后就是有些逻辑可能稍微有点不到位，比如9-4里[spoiler]王后死了骑士即位，然后王后复活和骑士结婚获得王冠后王后就可以把骑士砍头（当然那关想要拉仇恨确实就这一个办法）[/spoiler]。 不过最后补邮票的时候还是能发现人物、场景和逻辑关系的互动的进一步可能性的，比如[spoiler]总是想要别的酒的公爵发现管家拿枪后就不挑了，蕾诺拉心碎之后喝酒就变酗酒，亚当和亚娃一直吃禁果会吃撑，亚娃吃亚当禁果后劈死复活后还会怨恨亚当[/spoiler]等等，其实看着邮票描述去找哪些关卡的场景和人物能完成邮票也算是一个挑战，但由于前述的翻页不方便的缘故有点费时间，所以想要降低难度的话也可以看攻略确定是哪一关然后自己想怎么达成邮票的效果。

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

Love this game, the puzzles are fun to figure out with the little animations, it did however take me more then 2 hours to get that achievement.
