Untold Story is now available on Steam as a free-to-play, single-player RPG built in RPGMaker, and it leans hard into classic turn-based adventuring. Developed and published by Meowsticks Games, the game aims to win players over with story, party-based combat, and an unusually large amount of quest content for a free release.
At the center of Untold Story is Rover Wilson, a character suddenly pulled away from home and thrown into a fantasy world. From there, the plot focuses on reuniting with missing friends while gradually uncovering a wider threat tied to the setting itself. Instead of relying on fast action, the game puts its emphasis on dialogue, exploration, and steady narrative progress, making it a better fit for players who enjoy reading conversations, chasing objectives, and seeing a storyline unfold over time.
Combat is fully turn-based and designed around planning rather than reflexes. According to the game’s Steam description, battles revolve around managing energy for skills and party actions, pushing you to think about resource use across multiple encounters instead of burning everything in a single fight. The party system is a key part of the experience, with multiple characters able to take part in battles through distinct roles and abilities.
Questing is one of the biggest selling points. Untold Story includes close to 200 quests, along with plenty of collectibles and NPC interactions to keep exploration from feeling empty. A standout detail is the promise that quests and collectibles are non-missable, meaning you can return to unfinished tasks later without worrying that story progression will permanently lock you out—up until the final act.
Visually, it sticks to a familiar RPGMaker approach: classic 2D pixel art, a top-down view, and menu-driven interfaces. That style is well-known and widely used, so the game’s long-term appeal will likely depend less on presentation and more on writing quality, pacing, and how engaging the encounters feel as the hours add up.
At launch, Untold Story supports English text and interface only. It also arrives without user reviews yet, so it’s too early to tell how players will rate the story, balance, and overall flow. Still, being free-to-play makes it easy to try, and the combination of party-based turn-based combat and a nearly 200-quest lineup could be enticing for anyone looking for a traditional RPG journey that doesn’t cost anything upfront.
