If you saw the logo and <em>immediately<\/em> thought of Stranger Things, that&#8217;s probably because it was designed by the same artist responsible for the logo and artwork of Netflix&#8217;s hit show, Kyle Lambert.<\/p>\n<p>According to the press blurb, the thriller has been reworked by developer No Code with changes to the &#8220;user experience and controls to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch&#8217;s Joy-Con&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Combining a mix of classic text-adventure and point-and-click adventure in a modern presentation, four short stories are packaged together into a single mysterious anthology that earned widespread critical acclaim since release.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Stories Untold Switch 3\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6922dcbfe7371\/stories-untold-switch-3.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/6922dcbfe7371\/stories-untold-switch-3.original.jpg\" alt=\"Stories Untold Switch 3\"><\/a><a title=\"Stories Untold Switch 2\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c710bbd39fd56\/stories-untold-switch-2.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/c710bbd39fd56\/stories-untold-switch-2.original.png\" alt=\"Stories Untold Switch 2\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Stories Untold Switch 6\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fd0814b2f7d58\/stories-untold-switch-6.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/fd0814b2f7d58\/stories-untold-switch-6.original.jpg\" alt=\"Stories Untold Switch 6\"><\/a><a title=\"Stories Untold Switch 1\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5a190740d15b0\/stories-untold-switch-1.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5a190740d15b0\/stories-untold-switch-1.original.png\" alt=\"Stories Untold Switch 1\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>No word on pricing yet, but the game was critically well-received on PC and holds a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/pc\/stories-untold\">Metacritic<\/a> score of 81, so if you&#8217;re a sucker for a throwback and enjoy a spooky game, this should probably be on your rader.<\/p>\n<p><em>Played the game on PC?
