Epistory is an atmospheric adventure typing game that tells the story of a writer lacking inspiration who asks her muse to help write her latest book. In Epistory you play the muse, a fictional character in a world where everything is untold. Your adventure begins on a blank page, but the world will soon become larger and livelier as you gather inspiration, solve its mysteries and defeat its enemies. From movement to opening chests and fighting in epic battles, every element in the game is controlled exclusively with the keyboard.

Pretty fun game. Like the art style, the abilities feel distinct from each other, and it's easy to get into. It's hard to recommend since it's basically just typing, but it's easy to understand and doesn't really require a ton of commitment to learn and get into. Wish they let you set markers or slide the map. And sometimes it's …

It's hard to recommend since it's basically just typing, but it's easy to understand and doesn't really require a ton of commitment to learn and get into. Wish they let you set markers or slide the map. And sometimes it's hard to read what you're typing whether it's because the text is white or because words can overlap. It's also annoying when you accidentally attack the wrong enemy because there were multiple enemies with the same word.

This is fun, at least for an hour or so. What I really like about it is the control scheme, which makes it feel very natural to smoothly transition between exploration, combat, swapping abilities, upgrading skills, and so on. That combat is pretty nice, definitely designed in a way that tests your ability to prioritize and be aware of the …

What I really like about it is the control scheme, which makes it feel very natural to smoothly transition between exploration, combat, swapping abilities, upgrading skills, and so on. That combat is pretty nice, definitely designed in a way that tests your ability to prioritize and be aware of the whole situation. I just lost interest after a while, probably because the combat does get old and the rest of the game is "just ok".

Playing on Stadia. Having fun so far, but I'm also not sure if I should continue? I'm just not sure what kind of game I want to play right now.....

Played about 45 minutes. Pretty graphics. You walk your person around and do some typing. Some typing is under time pressure, and some isn't. It's ok, but I think I've seen enough. I'd probably rather play Type Attack.

It is the first time that I play this type of game and I loved the experience. The story surrounding the game leaves the player curious until the end. The gameplay is undoubtedly different from the usual what I loved, where the player will have to write the words that appear on the screen whether in combat or not, where he will gain exp to improve his skills. A good game for everyone to play.

What a beautiful little game. The art style and writing are amazing. It can be a bit challenging but it never frustrates. And I absolutely love the ending credits song:

I'm already great at typing, but this game is super fun in addition to improving typing. Like, picture Mavis Beacon, but with a fantasy-esque plot and awesome magic powers. And the protagonist is a blonde woman riding a giant, three-tailed fox. I'm not even done with it yet, but five stars, easily.
