Evaluation

Stories to Tell [Alpha 1] - Run Away is a free, short psychological horror game released on February 2, 2024. The developer describes it as the first episode in a saga of horror games, each based on personal dreams or nightmares. The game shipped as a self-contained, short experience — the store description frames it as a standalone episode with no mention of additional content planned for this specific title. The developer's most recent activity (June and July 2026) is entirely focused on promoting a new, separate game in the same saga — "Stories to Tell: The Stoneville Incident" — which has its own dedicated Steam page. This indicates the developer has moved on to new projects rather than continuing to develop this first episode. The last update to this game was a minor patch on February 4, 2024 (just two days after launch), and there have been no further updates or announcements for it since. This game appears to have launched as a complete short experience with no post-launch content cycle. The developer's ongoing creative work is being channeled into a new sequel entry rather than additions to this title.
