Dec. 2024

Such a unique and exciting approach to gameplay. I had so much fun playing and finished the game in one sitting. I also found myself in awe at the artstyle, music, level design, and so on. Finishing fights felt rewarding and worthwhile, and the story narration felt so true to the "storybook" aesthetic. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed, and found myself eager to overcome the word battles rather than feel daunted and frustrated. Challenging, but within reason. Absolutely loved!

Epistory is amazing. So fun, and helps you practice typing so as to improve your touch typing abilities and speed. I wish that there were more of these games. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Oct. 2024

A unique and fun game, story is pretty simple - but the typing 'mechanics' etc. is quite good. 9/10

April 2024

Absolutely wonderful game. If you're looking for a good typing game that'll challenge you, this is it. Beautiful art design and music. Story is incredible. Take the plunge, you'll be happy you did.

A fascinating tale of a girl and a fox, stranded in the middle of nowhere, typing out their own story... A really good take on a typing game, where you play as a female character atop a red fox, destroying bugs and items, finding chests, restoring the land and restoring memories. During your journey you find different powers, with which you can access different areas and tackle enemies with different strategies, with some great synergies between some of them. The controls are really good, until around the third area, where some angles of movement might be needed, but are not easy to get. The music is really good, it sets the mood for the occasion, and the ending piece is just so relaxing that it makes you feel good after completing the game. A few caveats, of course. The last achievements are a grind to get, but they give you an excuse to try out the arena mode of the game, which is just wave defense, with increasing difficulties. You also have to be perfect at typing for some achievements, and fast for a few others. There is a mod in the steam workshop for people who can't write quickly, or usually fat-finger their keyboard, so the achievements are not impossible, but still take a fair amount of time to get. Overall, I would give this game a 8/10, the story is quite good, the difficulty is mostly average, with some really challenging sections that require using specific elements, the music is good, controls are a bit iffy for certain sections, arena mode for extra time in the game, if you want to play something after campaign, but extremely grindy achievements.
