About this gameFull description from Steam
Storyteller lets you build stories using a visual language. The goal on each level is to make a story that fits the given title by placing settings and characters that react to each other, creating a narrative through their relationships. Storyteller's comic-panel design and charming animations allow for experimentation within the framing of its many stories: just drag and drop characters to see how the story plays out! Play with a library full of characters and themes, heroes and villains, dragons and vampires, infidelity and revenge, love, lies, madness, and more! Use the blank canvas to manipulate secrets and desires, slay monsters or terrorize people with them, betray lovers or bring them together. You know how the stories go — but this time you are the author.
