Storyteller
With Storyteller you are the one writing the stories! Start with a title, characters and settings and create your own twist on stories familiar and new.
What it feels like
The core conceit—building stories by moving characters around—invites experimentation and mischievous creative play. Despite darker themes like crime and betrayal, the overall tone is carefree and fun rather than heavy or serious. Building and refining stories invites quiet, thoughtful creativity and narrative interpretation.
What it's about
Many story prompts are mystery-themed, asking players to arrange characters and props to reveal or solve hidden truths. Romance and relationships are explicitly featured as one of several story categories players can construct. Crime, intrigue, and betrayal are listed among the story themes available to construct.
How it plays
The core interaction model is clicking and dragging characters, settings, and props onto a stage to construct visual stories. Each story prompt presents a puzzle to solve—players must deduce which characters, settings, and configurations satisfy the narrative constraints. Stories are structured around character interactions and narrative choices, though expressed visually rather than through branching text.
How it looks and sounds
The visual presentation uses hand-drawn 2D character and setting artwork with expressive, illustrative style. Character and prop designs lean toward charming, approachable aesthetics fitting a family-friendly puzzle game.
How it's structured
Players set their own creative goals within a flexible system, assembling story components to match given titles or invent new narratives without prescribed solutions. Explicitly designed as a solo creative experience with no multiplayer component. Players can construct different story outcomes and solutions, yielding varied narrative resolutions.
