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.

Epistory: Typing Chronicles is an adventure typing game officially released in 2016, by Fishing Cactus.

You play as a girl who is riding a fox with three tails. The gameplay is straightforward, you type the words that are located above the enemy or obstacle. But throughout the story, you will learn how to use four elements: fire, ice, spark and wind. Those elements will not be only used to surpass or defeat certain enemies (enemies whose letters are coloured with the same colour of the element needed to defeat them), but also to use each element's ability (for example, fire, burns the word after the written one; ice, freezes the opponent for some time;...).
The story is sometimes hard to understand, and at times it feels disconnected because it follows the writer's writing process, which is represented by how the world unfolds.
As you type your way through this adventure, you will get typing points, which are used to get access to certain parts of the map and to get upgrades. I recommend first upgrading your elemental abilities since I've found those abilities helpful, especially when fighting at nest sites (a site found on the map from where, when you stand at the designated spot, enemies will start coming to you from all sides).
Something which I highly recommend using is the adaptive difficulty, which is already enabled as default. This difficulty option learns how fast/slow you type and according to that it makes the game harder/easier.
The only thing I found sometimes irritating is that in the last two chapters the nest fights took too long to finish and sometimes in them, there were too long intervals between enemy waves, which further prolonged the fight.

All in all, a relaxing game, with a beautiful paper-like art style, with both great and relaxing soundtracks. It's not long, not boring. I recommend it even to those who can't type fast on their keyboard since this game offers the adaptive difficulty option. To sum up, it's a sweet and relaxing adventure.

Great artstyle, really enjoyed the beginning but kept going too long.

Epistory - Typing Chronicles is a game in which you play as a girl who rides upon a giant fox.

I loved the game's beautiful art style. The environments in the game are all quite unique, with their own coloration and atmospheres, and the attention to detail of the scenery and the architecture is quite beautiful.

I also enjoyed the soundtrack to the game, though I have heard some minor looping issues for some of the tracks. Nevertheless, its soundtrack is still quite lovely, and each track fits the mood of its level quite well.

I enjoyed the gameplay a lot, and I think it was a fun game to play. I've never played a typing game that is as fun as this one. I think it does an excellent job of combining typing with adventure, and the four different magic elements are a nice touch. I also enjoy games that let you gather collectibles, and I think it was a cool addition to this game. ^.^

The few issues I have with the game are these:

- The story was kind of vague, and I wish that certain things would've been explained.

- Some of the music tracks, as I mentioned, don't loop seamlessly.

Despite those flaws, I still very much enjoyed the game. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys adventure games, games with unique art styles, and games that let you explore quite a bit. ^.^

The only time I'll let people call me keyboard warrior.
