Whereas ''Tower of Terror Remastered'' was ported and upgraded in quality from ActiveWorlds, and had been in use since 2013 and therefore subject to that platform's restrictions, ''Untold Stories'' is developed exclusively for Virtual Paradise from the ground up. ''Untold Stories'' can be located in [[Airpark]].
