**VIDEO SPOILERS BELOW** Thoughts on Storyteller, sort of a review: The game's length was fine, even with cost factored in. I would compare it to Gorogoa, another innovative puzzle game with an identical length and price tag. I don't care about total game time, but I do care about how long a game can make me feel something. Storyteller gave me a lot of good laughs due to the unexpected interactions between characters and the absurdity of the situations. Even though the game only lasted 2 hours, it was 2 hours of pure comedy, which is much more than many other "funny" games have to offer. While the comedy and general premise delivered, I didn't get much puzzle solving satisfaction nor enjoyment from creativity, despite this game being more than capable of nailing those aspects. The puzzles only started getting difficult when 8 panels were introduced, and the easier puzzles had a lot more railroading than I had hoped. By railroading, I mean that there were many separate puzzles that basically had the same goal, but you were only given the tools to reach that goal one way in each puzzle. I would have preferred that several puzzles were merged into one, so you could use your creativity to solve the puzzle in the way you wanted, then be offered the opportunity to find the other solutions by means of bonus objectives. The game was too scared to give more than one bonus objective per puzzle and strangely replaced the jester hats (previously denoting bonus objectives) with plain dots. What purpose did that serve? I thought the jester hats had good personality. Another letdown was that there was nothing unlocked after completing all the puzzles, despite being lead to believe that there would be. You would think that a game about storytelling would understand that establishing a locked page would foreshadow that there's bonus content. The player is gleefully anticipating bonus content throughout the entire game, only to have that joy stripped away by the disappointing reveal of nothing. Still, playing the game was both fun and satisfying. There was never a single moment (except Waiting For Godot) that I was displeased with the game's logic, and the main mechanic is so fun to use that I can't be too angry. I greatly hope that an update with more levels comes out one day, and if it does, I will be the first to play it. Overall Rating: 7/10 (Very Good)

this game has so much depth but is so short the way the characters have personalities is amazing, like how the baron would push practically anyone off the cliff for fun, or how between edgar, lenora and isobel, isobel is the only one who would poison from only having a broken heart. i just wish there was a teensy bit more content at the end

As a former theater kid I giggled when Waiting For Godot showed up. Such an odd piece of work.

They removed a lot from the demo. However, that martini interaction was splendid.

I was expecting an “I’m my own grandpa” achievement after the lineage puzzles appeared.

The achievements at the end were really interesting. I’d love to see them add more.

Tyler, you're such a good vibe man. Watching you work your way through these games is so enjoyable, and you've really stepped it up over the years in terms of your editing as well. Keep up the good work brotha, I hope you know how much we all appreciate what you do.

I saw two characters and a dead tree and was like "Hey it's Godot!" I'm happy an editor knew.

A custom level maker for this game would be awesome and probably really easy to implement. Just let the player choose the scenes, characters, and number of scene slots available, then have them choose one event as the "goal", either auto-generate a title or have the player enter one, and voila instant custom level. It would still probably need a few more characters and scenes to have a thriving community, but a simple modding API to add custom characters and scenes would make it easier on the devs' creativity.

These types of achievements are exactly why I love achievement hunting. Figuring out these weird and obscure achievements is an absolute blast and the martini achievement was absolutely hilarious.

5:45 HUUUGE shout-out to the editor. I can't imagine the headaches

Shame it was so short, could've probably gone farther with more scenes. Hope it gets a sequel or DLC, definitely a lot more room for growth

I honostly love this game. The storytelling is hilarious. It's amazing

2:55 this was, oddly enough, the only part of the game I was really stuck on, because I cannot for the life of me figure out a solution where hatey WASN'T just protecting his daughter. I can only assume this is actually the only solution and the latter part was just hidden so it wouldn't be as obvious, but if any of you have an idea please tell me 3:26 this puzzle is a reference to the absurdist play "Waiting for Godot", in which 2 men wait for a person who was never going to show up. I had a good chuckle about it when I got to this puzzle.

It would be awesome to see this game get an update where people can make their own puzzles with more scenes and characters, sort of like how BTD6 challenges work.

6:05 "He's old enough to be allowed to be angry."

The editor work is unbelievable, it is not some crazy edit, but always helpful, so even when you are not thinking fast about the puzzle he helps

The last achievement was hilarious

9:03 the best bit in this whole video

I played on Switch, so no achievement. But on the last panel story I found you can make the Knight fall in love with the King, refusing the maid. Or heartbroken because the King is straight (has ♀️ icon). Also first time I saw the cage icon if the Queen catches the maid out of her jail, from the bushes.

Yes! I was hoping he'd go for 100%, those achievements were me favorite part

Shout outs for the editor for recognising Waiting for Godot. I love that piece.

15:35 So that explains why the butler doesn't like the duke.

I felt some elements were underused as a result of the game's short length too. Like the vampire and the cauldron scene, which are both only used for one puzzle.

Every single video that you upload is looking so quality and every one of em has work into it. When I see you changing your facecam position depending on contents we need to see is a prove of that(reverse tower defence game). Thank you so much for this content, much much love from Turkey.

I would love seeing them make some DLC for this game or something like that.

I absolutely want more of this game, and really hope for DLC/future updates.

Fun fact: you can tell a character can do horrible stuff if they have an evil look in their icon instead of a regular look, example: out of edgar, lenora and isobel, if edgar/lenora is heartbroken they will only drink the poison every time, only poisoning the wine when their past lover's ghost had told them they had been poisoned by someone (well at least edgar does, lenora could just be too naive to do that) Meanwhile if isobel is heartbroken she will use the poison and intend it to kill the lover of the one who rejected her. Isobel's icon is her grinning creepily while edgar/lenora's is just them frowning. Its the little things that give hints

Hey Tyler! Just thought I'd let you know (though you might already know this if you've been keeping an eye on it) that Storyteller has gotten a new update, with some new elements and a new character! Can't wait to see you puzzle your way through it!

they really should have a level editor since the game is so short...

He said “So he gets a gun” so seriously I think he would actually do this 😂

Tyler, you need to look into the wandering village, it's brilliant. It's also a very cozy village Sim on top of a giant rock beast

There sure were a lot of deaths this episode

I bought Storyteller after watching you play the Demo and the first two vids after its full launch. Was a bit disappointed with the length, cuz yeah, it only got interesting with the 8 panel stories. Maybe it'll be updated- At least with a Level Editor, please, I beg of you, let there be a Level Editor.

9:02 “ yeah, she’s got the balls” * realizes what he said* “ wait”

I think a sequel may be possible as the label seen in the credits scene says that it is just storyteller tome 1 witch imply's the existence of a storyteller tome 2.

I like how the buttler is like grinning like its a death threat :3

I really wish there was a DLC to let people make their own stories, upload them to the Steam workshop, and have other people try to solve them!

“Maybe the Queen will kidnap the maid, uhm. That’s not the maid- this is the maid 😄” -Tyler 2023

In Ace Attorney, there’s a character by the name of Godot, and through that I learned about waiting for Godot, and I understood the reference immediately

Been loving every single video the past couple years and just gotta say keep it up myan I enjoy the content. Very proud of you

I hope this game gets new chapters. This is so much fun

They reworked some of the achievements. Now you have to get Laura sad before she’ll drink herself to sleep.

Not even a second in and we pulling an alabama

3:07 IT’S JUST A FREE LEVEL!

2:50 That was sad 😢

4:50 "hm? what do i do with this? "hm? what do i do with this?" "hm... what *should* i do with this?" missed opportunity.

0:09 Nice Star Wars ref!

Loved the series!

I wa really hoping this game would be longer. I get why it isn't but I do hope they make extra content for it.

Definitely agree that the achievements should have been in the game proper, maybe as "unlockable" objectives at the end. I did think the game did a little less with its tools than I'd have hoped for, but liked it overall and gave it a positive review on Steam.

It's cool you noticed the achievements, but now i can't suggest enough things for another video, oh well. 2 Extra "puzzles" for anyone who reads (Finale) "The Queen and the maid have an affair" (Tiny Murders Uncle) "Disturbing Interest" Have 2 characters reject a relationship, find out they're related, then accept it.

Day 903 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it. Arresting dragons? Hmmmmm

10:58 now he knows how literally every author feels 😂

At the beginning, he spoke like some music would be like.

0:01 got me 😂

I love these videos man, keep it up!

I'm proud to say that I got the "Waiting for Godot" reference since I did a short excerpt for the play in my high school drama class. 😅

My favorite series!

I agree Tyler. 7/10 is a fair assessment

If i may say, i miss the vampire survivors videos :) But i really like this game too

"She's got the balls" 3 seconds later "Wait..."

i feel like with the simplicity of the game itself there should be user levels somewhere

I really want some more of this.

DUDE more than 10 yrs on this channel and only 500k? NO! You deserve moreee!

15:18 And the Duke wants a martini! so he gets a gun

what a twist! 9:39

5:35 Hamlet in a nutshell.

"She's got the balls.. Wait."

Definitely should get updates, it feels way too short/easy

Free or not, *_this game deserves a DLC_*

Let’s gooooo new aliensrock so worth the sleep loss !!!!

"she's got the balls" HOL UP "wait"

openning with Oedipus is a bold move

"she got the balls to push her off" "...." "Wait"

I loved this I hope for more.

9:02 "she's got the balls!...wai-"

4:20 LOL

9:03 moment lmao

This series is going great! Keep it up :)

I was surprised to see a Waiting for Godot reference. 👍

2:52 IT SOUNDS LIKE A SHAKESPEARE PLAY 😭

I wish there was more content in this game

*Preventing* War Crimes With Tyler

I’m getting some Oedipus Rex vibes from the first puzzle

Very fun game to watch, this was wonderful

Damn I can't believe this game was so short

6:11 missed opportunity for the merged name to be “peeny”

9:02 yea shes got the balls… *wait*

This game is amazing.

TF2: wait for New Heavy update Steam: waits for update to release. Players: playing Roblox just only waiting for heavy update

*finally* someone shows the butler's motivation for murder

You have Baba and Kiki on your endscreen, but where is "Me". They are missing a friend!

Oedipus reference! And Hamlet!

I absolutely hate waiting for Gadot. I'm also somehow surprised that it isn't a reference that you know.

4:19 made me laugh

my favorite game bro keep playinggg

I love how lenora just *Dies* when she drinks too much wine

7:02 Hamlet

Tbh the game seemed a bit short for the price tag attached to it... Or maybe that's just the fact that steam increased local currency prices and now everything seems expensive.
