Stories Untold is coming to Switch next week, bringing No Code's horror anthology to a console for the first time. The game's release is right around the corner--it'll be available on the eShop on January 16.
The game collects four short horror experiences in one package, each of which involves interacting with strange in-game objects and narratives that make inventive use of the game's mechanics.
The original release was designed specifically with a keyboard in mind, and required a lot of typing. The controls have been reworked for Switch, so you can play the game using Joy-Con without issue. The trailer below shows a simplified control system for The House Abandon, the game's excellent opening text adventure. GameSpot gave the game a 7/10 in its original review, published in 2017. In my review, I praised the first three of four parts of the anthology, calling the game a "unique package with a strong sense of identity, one that finds a new, exciting way to weaponize nostalgia."
No Code followed up Stories Untold with Observation, an excellent horror adventure set on an abandoned space station.
