What it is
Minecraft: Story Mode is a 2015 episodic adventure game from Telltale Games, set in the Minecraft world. The five-part story follows Jesse and friends as they travel through the Overworld, Nether, and End. After trouble emerges during a visit to EnderCon, the group sets out to find the Order of the Stone and protect their world. The choices players make in conversations and action scenes shape the story. The game is single-player, with achievements, full controller support, and Family Sharing listed on Steam. Its Steam version is available for Windows and macOS; the game is also listed for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U. Episode 1 was described as free for a limited time in the supplied store text, so that wording does not establish a current offer. The game’s listed genres are episodic and adventure.

Who it suits
Suited to Minecraft players who want a narrative adventure with Jesse and friends rather than a server-hosting or building entry. It may also appeal to players who like story choices to shape what happens.
Minecraft: Story Mode takes its adventure through familiar Minecraft dimensions and makes player choices part of the narrative. It is a single-player option for players interested in a story-led take on the setting.
