Description
Able Black is an immersive story experience that uses images and sound to guide you through a series of puzzles.
Story:
Able is a lonely android struggling with his Citizenship Exam, a test he must pass if he doesn’t want to be shut down. Follow Able as he searches for purpose and a way out of isolation. Discover the secrets of Ark 19, an underground habitat designed to save humanity from disaster. Find out why Able has been left alone in the ark. Uncover what’s hidden there. Take the Citizenship Exam and discover who Able Black really is.
Gameplay:
Navigate through five chapters of story text and experience the Citizenship Exam as Able does. After each chapter you’ll be faced with a series of questions that put you in the shoes of Able Black. Answer poetic riddles that echo the theme of each chapter. Solve cryptic puzzles to unlock Able’s story.
Able Black is part story, part game, and full of secrets.
This experience includes puzzles that some users may find challenging. If you need some help head to www.ableblack.com or visit the Able Black Facebook page www.facebook.com/AbleBlackSleepwalker

Ratings and Reviews
Horrific and beautiful
This app is a prime example of dynamic storytelling with minimalist techniques. Text based games usually don’t entice me and it was the puzzles that caught my eye. I thought I would just scroll past the text to puzzles. I was very wrong. The story was heart wrenching and the puzzles do more than make you feel clever. They further develop the story and the characters. Really glad I picked this up. It’s experiences like this that make me super excited for the future of storytelling. The app developer should jump on and start putting together interactive children’s stories. (Or adults, I just think that people have more fun with stories aimed at kids.)
Well done! Superb job! Excited to see more.
Amazing, well-written, unique game!
I enjoy playing puzzle style games, but the story element in this one made the whole thing so much more interesting! I actually read the text (which I don't normally do in other games) and the puzzles were all ones I haven't seen before, giving me a challenging game to enjoy. The extra levels mean there is more to do after you have completed the main game and you can even replay the main part or reset the game completely so that you can try choosing different options or playing without the hints. An all-round awesome game!
Absolutely love this! However I haven’t finished it yet…
It had me really excited in places where the puzzles were genuinely individual and interesting, reminds me of about a decade ago when I was playing games like The room, sword and sworcery and machinarium. I was looking for a new indie game to try and this really surprised me and I’m so glad I tried it. Honestly smth I would’ve expected to pay for, however I haven’t finished it yet so I’m not sure how long it’ll last
I hope it continues as good as it seems to far (time to start 3)
