Today, I want to have a real chat with you about a game that looks completely harmless but is actually wildly imaginative and surprisingly addictive: It’s Story Time.

When you first open It’s Story, the art style looks a bit like an educational picture book for elementary schoolers—bright colors, simple lines, and maybe even a little crude.

The core gameplay is all about puzzle-solving and thinking outside the box. It doesn’t have a complex UI, nor does it require fast fingers (except for a few levels). What it demands is a brain that refuses to follow the beaten path. Each level is a standalone mini-story scene, and your goal is to click, drag, and combine items on the screen to achieve the objective.

The most brilliant thing about this game is its logic—it adheres to common sense, yet constantly dances on the edge of sanity. Take the "Morning" level, for example. In a standard game, you might just click an alarm clock or a toothbrush and be done with it. But in this game, you actually have to squeeze the toothpaste onto the brush and drag it to the character's mouth, just like in real life. The funniest part? Sometimes you even have to help the protagonist find that one sock that vanished into thin air. Seeing this kind of "realism" in a cartoon game creates a weirdly absurd sense of humor.

Then there’s the "Date" level. When I played it, I was full of confidence, thinking, "It's a date, right? Just bring flowers and gifts, easy." The result? The game slapped me in the face with reality. You have to observe the girl's facial expressions carefully; if you give the wrong gift, the situation gets incredibly awkward. You need to use clues in the environment to deduce what she actually wants. This isn’t just playing a game; it’s practically a crash course in "How Not to Be Clueless in a Relationship"!

Let’s talk about why this game is so fun.

Even though it’s called It’s Story, there are almost no walls of text or dialogue. All the stories are told through your actions and the visual feedback on screen. This "Show, Don't Tell" approach is a very sophisticated form of game narrative. It trusts the player's intelligence—it trusts that you can understand the meaning behind a glance or a gesture.

Many of the levels—like doing laundry, going to the bank, or dealing with a hangover—are mundane trifles from our daily lives. The developers turned these chores into puzzles and buried a lot of jokes inside them.

The friendliest feature is that it plays directly in your web browser. No download required. This is perfect for office workers: open it up to play, close it to get back to work.

All in all, It’s Story is a hidden gem of a browser game that is much better than its generic name suggests. It has no flashy special effects or grand worldview, but it has an interesting soul. It plays like an interactive comic strip where every page hides a surprise.
