Crank the mystery up to eleven.

<span class="bold">Stories Untold</span>, a spooky adventure about things that are stranger than interactive fiction, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 15% launch discount!

Game series get cancelled all the time. But something surrounding the cancellation of Stories Untold makes you uneasy. It's not just the remastered original episode, "The House Abandon". It's also the other stuff you found in that mysterious tape, which claims to be a compilation of scenes from the ill-fated text adventure series.

The 15% discount lasts until March 7, 4PM UTC.

I played it a bit and got frustrated.
Don't know if the only sense of the puzzles consist of guessing the right phrases and commands to move on. I have to say I never played textadventures before.

For example I only wanted to move to the house.

I typed: move to house
Answer: I don't understand

I typed: go to house
Answer: I don't understand

I typed: go to front door
Answer: I don't understand

I typed: WTF move bi...
Answer: I don't understand

I gave up.

Would be nice to have some kind of tutorial or manual with some examples to learn how to give commands which the game accepts.
Hmmmm, do you play a lot of interactive fiction games? Only reason I ask is because I don't play a lot of them myself and I had no issue getting around the house in the first vignette.

Please don't take my question as "Haha I am smarter than you!", rather I am simply wondering if this is a case of one person being used to a particular parser or way of doing things vs. a person who isn't.

In my experience, I just typed the first thing that came to mind so "exit car" "go to door" "look around" were the first things I tried.

bricbrac: The 15% launch discount doesn't seem to be applied. Is this the case?
