CONS

Single storyline

Welcome to Dark Stories, the Android game that will have you scratching your head and questioning your sanity in the best possible way! We challenge you to solve mysterious and creepy scenarios by piecing together clues and using your wits. From puzzling murders to spooky disappearances, we promise to keep you on the edge of your seat and up all night playing this addictively eerie game. So grab your detective hat and get ready to uncover the truth behind these twisted tales. Let's see if you have what it takes to crack the case and emerge victorious in the world of Dark Stories!

Users experience

Most stories are pathetic. I suggest you, the users, come with an original mystery and try to play it differently if you want to (the game can easily be modified. Especially if the narrator has experience from roleplaying games. Edit: Upon playing a bit more i found some interesting stories that were fun to solve. But they were too few.

Great collection of riddle stories in a nicely laid-out format. The UI is sleek and easy to navigate, plus I like that you can sort by difficulty or completion. I play a lot of these with kids at summer camp and I'm looking forward to sharing this app with them! My only critique is there should definitely be a warning at the beginning that many of the stories include suicide - it can be extremely sensitive for people, and they deserve to be warned. Even better would be to rewrite them a little.

Definitely unique. If your friends are curious, chatty, and down for some silliness, this would be a great game to play with them. The UI is simple to grasp quickly. You get 3 free stories for every new combo you have to buy (so if you don't spend money to buy a new category you still have some free stories) However, I do agree that some stories were a little wack, which would be much better if the solution was written in a more logical way.

About Dark Stories

THIS GAME REQUIRES PLAYERS TO BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT WITH FRIENDS. IT CANNOT BE PLAYED ALONE!

Dark Stories is a straightforward and enjoyable game, although some of the stories might be challenging. Keep in mind that all stories are fictional. Players will need to showcase their detective skills to unravel the mysteries.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Dark Stories is designed for group play. A chosen individual acts as the narrator and selects a mystery to read aloud while keeping the solution secret. The other players then proceed to ask questions to crack the mystery.

The narrator can only respond with "Yes," "No," or "It is not relevant." The valid solution is the one provided on the back of each mystery card. If the answer remains unclear, players must adhere to the narrator's interpretation of the mystery.

SAMPLE SCENARIO

During gameplay, an exchange could unfold like this:

Player1: "Did he perish due to being shot?"

Narrator: "No"

Player2: "Was he poisoned?"

Narrator: "No"

Player3: "Did he have offspring?"

Narrator: "It's not relevant"

Player1: "Are there other characters in the tale?"

Narrator: "No"

Player2: "Did he take his own life?"

Narrator: "Yes"

GAME CONCLUSION

Once the narrator feels that the mystery has been adequately unraveled, they can end the game by revealing the full solution. The narrator has the discretion to offer hints if the story reaches a standstill.

WHEN TO ENGAGE

This game is ideal for birthday parties, camps, or any gathering with multiple friends.

STORY COLLECTION

The free app features over 200 stories, with new additions planned periodically.

Please note

Accidents, suicides, thefts... Can you solve every enigma?

    The solutions were too unrealistic and detailed. They are difficult to guess because they are not related to common dark humor themes like riddles or puns. The app works well and the design is good, but the content could be better.

    Playing this game with my family and friends is really enjoyable. Sometimes it can be a bit dull, but not boring enough to make me not want to play it again.

    Responses are so silly and don't match what was said at all.

    I enjoy this a lot. I read by myself because my family and friends are not into it. But that's okay, I like having the time to myself.

    Yeah, it works fine, but man, those stories are just terrible. And the answers? So crazy and totally random. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone.

    The solutions are too difficult and the problems lack details. The app is basically asking you to solve a riddle without much information, which is confusing. They also frequently include suicide in their stories, so be cautious about that.

    The game is really bad. It's made nicely, but the answers are totally random. Like, why would a man kill himself after seeing a doctor? Because of his cheating partner? How does that even connect? I like puzzles that make sense, but these are just dumb.

    Yeah, sometimes solutions can be so random and overly complicated when simpler options would do just fine.
