I started the out of pure hype and even bought -again- a PlayStation 4 in the process, but haven't finished it until recently due to time constraints, lack of interest and having lost the initial momentum.

I'm publishing this in 2025 but the reality is that this has been my second playthrough as I already finished (almost completed) this game in my _Nintendo Switch_ **back in 2019!**. Yes, I loved it that much.

How to explain... the OST is just incredible, one tune keeping you company in each level. The gameplay is **really smooth and satisfying**; it has been carefully crafted, including the _"restart"_ mechanic when you die and had to start the current level again since it's not only fast but they blended it with the story. Oh, and the story... I could compliment it a lot if I were sure that I properly understood it 😅. (_Is there any books about the lore? Need to check_).

According to [How long to beat](https://howlongtobeat.com/game/33020) you can finish it in about 4h30m which is pretty accurate considering I currently have 4.8h in Steam and I repeated some levels and checked how hard was hard mode (yeah, it was hard).

Can't say much more about it, the summary being that I had such good memories from this game that I finished 6 years ago that I got it for a different platform and finished it again.

The first time I played Storyteller two years ago I really liked it, I thought it was a very original game and the ability to create scenes beyond just solving puzzles was quite interesting. Player 2 and I got competitive to see who would finish it first. There comes a point wherek, if you get stuck, instead of thinking about the story being presented you start thinking about all the permutations you can do with the available options; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since -after all- it is a puzzle game.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It felt fresh and they gave you achievements when you managed to recreate certain scenes beyond just completing the main story solutions.

And why do I say “gave”? Because in September 2023, they released an update with more puzzles but in the process **they wiped out all the achievements I just mentioned** leaving only a few. When I loaded up my save a few days ago not only had I lost all my achievements, but I’d also lost half of my game progress: many levels I already completed were now marked as incomplete, and I had to replay them again, because you needed to have finished the game to access the new levels that came with the update.

In the end I went for it and in about an hour I replayed everything and unlocked the new _"Devil levels"_. Presentation was ok but **I was really disappointed by the overall difficulty**. In the end, they just changed the story of 10 levels by adding a new character (the Devil) so there wasn’t much room to change things significantly. I beat nine of the levels straight through without any issues, and one of them did took me a bit longer, but not for a disproportionate amount of time.

|
|
||||||
|
### Do I recommend it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Yes, if you like original puzzle games**. Just keep in mind that it's a short not very challenguing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Overall, I have to say that the game still strikes me as very original and I don’t regret playing it **but losing my progress and being forced to replay it left a bitter taste** and I was real close to not picking it up again. If you don’t own it and you like puzzle games, give it a try — it’s a short ([~2-3h](https://howlongtobeat.com/game/96326)) indie game that’s not too expensive and [often on sale](https://steamdb.info/app/1624540/).

> While writting this post I learned that his game is also available on mobile devices though locked only for Netflix subscribers, apparently. It wasn't available when I first played it and I thought that considering how the gameplay is it would be perfect for touch screens.
