“100 percented in 3 hours. I got this game on discount for $7.49 but even that feels like too much. Not a bad game at all but the amount of content can barely even be considered worth half the base price.”
“One of the most fun and mechanically unique games I’ve played in a while. You fill in characters and scenes in a comic strip, trying to create the short story in the title. It starts easy, but becomes quite challenging…”
“The main game can be completed in a couple of hours, but there is a lot of extra content afterward that prompts you to go back and try to rework the stories in different ways, which is something I really enjoyed.…”

“It's a cute game but even simpler than I was expecting. Even at 50% off, I didn't feel it was "worth it" (as the game itself coyly announces with an achievement if you play for 2 hours). Honestly, I wouldn't have even…”
“Let's try to keep this short and sweet, like Storyteller is. So here we have a puzzle game about finding the right combination of actions to translate a conclusion or prompt into a full logical sequence or scene. All of…”
“This is a very nice and fun game that makes you think for a hot minute, sometimes gets hard and then become boring, but that's how I expect most games are. Good graphics for low graphic people and good details,…”

“Fun, cute, light, charming. A short game to finish in a few sittings, maybe even just one if you're in the mood. Nice to play something like this which feels simple but not vapid, feel a sense of gaming accomplishment…”
“This game was a lot of fun; got it finished in about 4 hours but I had a great time and it was on sale, so well worth the money. A lot of fun stories you have to piece together, love the different combinations of…”

“its super fun to play. I'm currently going through looking for the secret stamps, it's so fun and you an see there was so much thought put into this game”
“Short and really easy game for the most part. The way the book navigates between chapters is nice and it is fun to create random panels just to see what the characters do. There is a good bit of content after you…”
“Most levels won't stomp you too hard, and the game builds well on your learning progression. I like that NG+ is essentially a derivative. Would be nice to have some guidance on stamp locations but a guide always help.…”

“There is a reason why there is an achievment for playing 2 hours, since its really hard to get that much out of the game.”

“really fun puzzle game, i love the idea. the extra content was very fun and well executed but the stamps were just a little annoying”
“Definitely recommend this game, but not unless it's on sale. looked forward to this game for months, and loved every second of it. however I finished the game very quickly for the price point that it's at, and wish it…”

“Super short but fun, would love an expanded version with wider range of options for more challenge to feel less hand-holdy. Also, please give me more opportunities to make it gay.”
