Comments on Dark Stories for Android

★★★★☆ Yeti · Aug 29, 2025
Fun game, better with 4 or more people. Only slight pet peeve is the fact that the difficulties aren't quite accurate.
★★★★☆ Nguyen Ha · Oct 31, 2023
Definitely unique. If your friends are curious, chatty, and down for some silliness, this would be a great game to play with them. The UI is simple to grasp quickly. You get 3 free stories for every new combo you have to buy (so if you don't spend money to buy a new category you still have some free stories) However, I do agree that some stories were a little wack, which would be much better if the solution was written in a more logical way.
★☆☆☆☆ Michael Patton · Apr 8, 2026
The stories give no clues and the answers? My phone dies looking at them and so do I, no common sense or logic. Because how would we have known oscar was a train conductor if he was at the train stop? This is by far the worst horror game I've ever played. ALSO PLAYING IT WITH OTHERS DOES NOTHING
★☆☆☆☆ Jakub · Sep 26, 2023
Not fun to play at all as all the riddles are so far-fetched and illogical. For example : A man ate an apple, and then he jumped out of a window, but he survived. Solution : He actually didn't jump out because the apple reminded him of his childhood in Italy picking apples on his Grandparent's farm, and he decided to give them a call. Like seriously???
★★☆☆☆ Werner · May 23, 2025
Bad translations in German, some stories make absolutely no sense. For example some double meaning (shot = with a camera or pistol) don't work the same in German. Only use in English. French ones are passable.
★★☆☆☆ thein win · Jun 12, 2024
It's really fun but they all are so hard. Like for example how are we going to know if Anka brought a strawberry cookie and not a peanut cookie.

Description by Treebit Technologies Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
ATTENTION!

THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH FRIENDS IN PERSON. IF YOU ARE ALONE YOU CANNOT PLAY!

Dark Stories is an easy to play and fun game but some of the stories are quite difficult. All the stories are fictional. To solve them, the players will need to prove their skills as detectives.


HOW TO PLAY
Dark Stories must be played in group. A person -chosen as narrator- picks a mystery and reads its description aloud.
Then he/she reads its solution without telling the other people. The rest of the players then have to make questions in order to solve the mystery.

The narrator can only answer the questions using "Yes", "No" or "It is not relevant". The only possible solution is the one given at the back of each mystery card. If the answer is still not clear enough, the players must follow the narrator's interpretation of the mystery.


EXAMPLE
A typical fragment of a gameplay could be:

Player1: "Did he die because of the shot?"
Narrator:"No"
Player2: "Was he poisoned?"
Narrator: "No"
Player3: "Did he have children?"
Narrator: "It's not relevant"
Player1: "Are there other people in the story?"
Narrator: "No"
Player2: "Did he commit suicide?"
Narrator: "Yes"
...


END OF THE GAME
When the narrator considers that the story has been solved enough, the narrator can conclude the game and read the whole solution.

It is up to the narrator to give some clues if the story is in a deadlock.


WHEN TO PLAY
It is perfect for birthday parties, camps... and every situation in which you join several friends.


STORIES
This free App includes more than 200 stories and we will add new stories periodically.

Accidents, suicides, thefts... Will you be able to solve every mystery?

Special thanks to Lorena Rebollo, mcwc307 Chan, Rachel Long and Zak Freckelton for their help with the English translation.

Rated 18+ by the Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS).
