Backstories: Sola tra i Ghiacci

Best narrative game I've ever play! It's not, as in other narrative games, a puzzle. Here, every choice counts. It's your decisions that move the story forward, and the game responds to your ideas and decisions. It's very, very satisfying. It's like a role-playing game but without a GM. It's amazing!

I don't give it a 10 lightly. It truly had me sucked in after 10 minutes. The game has multiple story paths with multiple endings. Unlike other games in this genre, you will want to play this multiple times. I didn't even see 40-50% of the cards after my first play-through. The stakes are so high almost from the very beginning. And the game is constantly increasing the pressure and excitement. I loved every second and I can't wait to play it a few more times through. I wish they had 10 of these for me to play all weekend long.

BACKSTORIES est une force tranquille. Voilà un titre qui ne devrait pas passer à côté de certains prix ludiques tant le boulot de concepteurs et d’auteurs est précis et colossal et tant l’expérience est délicieuse.

Similar to the Adventure Games series with some new and fascinating mechanics. Fast played, fun game!

Entertaining and very well done game. The story might be intuitive, but the implementation was flawless. I enjoyed the continuos action sequence and the tension created by the character status cards. Even the real time ending was an unexpected touch, although my less favorite part. Looking forward for other stories in the serie.
