About the Game





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.

As you progress and explore the fantasy origami world, the story literally unfolds in the writer’s mind and the mysteries of the magic power of the words are revealed.

Features


  • Explore a beautiful paper craft world: play as the muse riding a giant three tailed fox, lost in a fantasy 3D world
  • More than just typing: solve mysterious puzzles, unlock magic powers and defeat enemies in adrenaline pumping epic combats
  • A writer’s block? Collect fragments and inspirations points to unfold the story as you explore the origami world in the writer’s head. But there is more to the story than meets the eye…
  • All in keyboard: from movements, combats to even menus, control everything with a keyboard
  • Adaptive difficulty: if your hands fly around the keyboard or if you are a slow typist, the game features a dynamic difficulty system that evolves to fit each players’ skill set

Bought this for my 7 years old girl to practise her typing skills. Unfortunately this game is way too difficult for her and I have to take over to play. Nevertheless this is a great game. The story is cool and puzzles

Id actually say it's a BIG MAYBE recommend. Really cute, cozy visuals with picture book, paper critters and environments. The movement isn't the best but you can eventually figure out how to maneuver. I love exploring

Steam Deck Playable ❌ UW Support ⚠️ It's a game that definitely helps with the typing and the story falling to the background. However, one key note is that it is quite buggy in more ways than one. I completed the story
