It's definitely a unique experience in that I never played a "horror" game in the form of a text-parser adventure game that's messing with the 4th. wall the way Stories Untold does. There are some spooky scenes that really got to me and I did appreciate the underlying creepyness in everything. However, the story, although presented in an interesting way, doesn't really do anything too special or original.

Also, the gameplay is rather simplistic and even tedious at times (Episode 3 was a slog to get through). I can't be too mad or disappointed as the game definitely tries to do something different on a gameplay level but I did expect something more engaging in terms of story. As for how I feel about Silent Hill Townfall at this point? Hhhmm.... I'm not so sure the devs know how to handle the Silent Hill license but at this point, who does? :D
