Epistory – Typing Chronicles is a well-presented game with a story about growth and self-discovery that really hits home, especially for those who’ve left the nest. The game explores personal growth and finding your own path and resonates deeply with anyone who’s gone through major life changes. The typing-based controls are easy to pick up, making the game accessible for all players, from beginners to seasoned typists. As you progress, the difficulty ramps up, keeping things challenging. While double-ups in typing can cause minor hiccups, they don’t take away from the overall experience. 8/10.

Immensely fun game with simple combat idea (typing words to shoot). My poor typing habits are deeply ingrained at this point (25 wpm RIP), but it is definitely still very playable, even if you technically suck.

thank you

Liked the art and story, while some words rotated, they used many new and when a monster had a big word there weren't very many of them. My typing was already pretty good but definitely think it improved, though I made many typos and while i'm happy there wasn't a penalty for that, due to the speed of the monsters, no penalty definitely didn't improve my typo making. Overall would recommend and not only for those that want to improve their typing speed

I'd like to start by saying that the game is artistically wonderful, and fun to play- If you're really fast at typing- but the game has a few issues.

The story is nice. Easy to follow, and I wasn't expecting the ending.
There's a problem related to the story, though. In the game, each area has a chunk of the story in it, shown through dialogue, or through a collectible picture you get in pieces from treasure chests. The four areas where you get your new abilities are labeled as chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4... but there are 8 areas. The final area isn't labeled as a chapter. You don't get a new ability in it, so I guess it's sticking to the rule, but it's a bit of an odd choice not to label the finale, when you've labeled the other "significant" ones. I guess those other 3 could be seen as extra or bonus areas, but they contain chunks of the story- And some pretty significant parts of it, too. I don't think areas with significant chunks of the story should be in hidden bonus areas. I say hidden because the game doesn't guide you towards these areas, and I had trouble figuring out how to get into two of them. In fact, halfway through the final chapter, I went through a portal that I didn't know would send me back to the start of it, for some reason. By then, I'd realized from context that this was the final act, and backtracked to do the other three areas. Thankfully, in the very back of the final area, the narrator warns you where the point of no return is, so you can backtrack if you want to.
That's the biggest issue with the game though. Just parts of the way it's designed. Let's get to the good parts!

The art. Amazing, beautiful. How do you make rocks look like they're rocks, but also made of paper? They have this cool unfolding paper animation for loading new chunks of the map. Waterfalls, since they're a sheet of blue paper, end in little curls of paper strips. The enemy design is cool. The papery look adds a lot of personality to the game.

The gameplay. Good! You type the right words to whittle down the health of your enemies. The pacing is definitely fast enough to create a sense of urgency, especially since you'll die if they hit you just once. There is no health bar here. Thankfully, the checkpoints aren't very far from where you died.
The gameplay does have one thing that's less of a problem for the player, and more of a design issue. You get different elemental abilities, such as fire, wind, ice, and electricity. Each of them does something different, and each attack looks different when shot off, and that's cool. The problem is, fire is the best one to use, to the point where I rarely used the others in battle. The game kind of has to force you to use the other abilities, by making some enemies only take damage from one of the other elements. Also, the spark ability is actually a little disadvantageous. It's kind of long to explain, but essentially, it hits multiple enemies, so when you're typing a word for an enemy you didn't aim for, the word can just disappear halfway through, because the spark branched out and hit that enemy. It only wastes a few seconds, but those seconds and breaking your flow state like that can mess you up in the later battles. Seriously, you have to type lightning quick for those.

Anyway, overall, the game is gorgeous, has a nice story, and is pretty dang fun.

it makes typing fun but doesn't teach sentences.
