Stranger Things-inspired Stories Untold announced

A collection of four creepy indie game episodes, priced £4.

A while back, Donlan wrote about a little indie game named The House Abandon - an atmospheric creation born of a Ludum Dare game jam and released on itch.io.

Now it's back, remastered, and packaged with three more episodes. Published by Devolver Digital, this collection will be named Stories Untold.

The similarities to Netflix's pop culture phenomenon Stranger Things are clear - at least in the game's style and retro aesthetic. Stories Untold even has an '80s-tastic poster created by Kyle Lambert, who performed the same role for the show.

But these four game episodes were made in the UK, from Glasgow-based indie team No Code, and are the work of a team of six people.

There's no word yet on what the three new episodes will be about...

Stories Untold will launch via Steam on 27th February, priced £3.99 ($4.99 or €4.99).
