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.

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 thatā€™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 ā€œgaveā€? 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 Iā€™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. - -

A scene from the Storyteller game, showcasing its unique puzzle-solving mechanics. It's the first (or one of the first) levels, don't worry.

- -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 wasnā€™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 donā€™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.
