Scripta manent.

<span class="bold">Epistory - Typing Chronicles</span>, an evocative action/adventure where you save a papercraft land, one typed word at a time, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and leaderboards, and a 35% launch discount.

All writers dread the blank page. Its emptiness stares back at you, bursting with overwhelming potential, unclaimed glory, and a desperate search for the elusive muse. Epistory follows that very Muse, as she rides a giant fox through this wonderful origami world, giving shape to an untold story. Imaginative puzzles, horrifying enemies, and curious discoveries will unfold before her, as the papercraft world responds to your typing. Movement, combat, and all other interactions are fully controlled by your keyboard as every word you type dictates the flow of this enchanting adventure. The dynamic difficulty constantly adapts to your writing speed, while you struggle to overcome the writer's block and eventually uncover the story's hidden mysteries.

Ride through a breathtaking world made of paper, words, and torrents of wild imagination in <span class="bold">Epistory - Typing Chronicles</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
The 35% discount will last until October 25, 12:59 PM UTC.

IAmSinistar: Awesome, thanks for stopping in! The game looks lovely and I'm on the verge of buying it. I did want to ask, how deep does the language localisation go? For example, can you choose between British and American English?
I think it is only American English if they haven't changed that since release.

Unfortunately, the game is in American English but we support modding. Our developer is writing a modding guide telling you how to add your dictionaries in the game.

Thanks for the info. I've bought the game, and the localisation isn't a deal-breaker for me. My English is a hotchpotch of various dialects anyway. :)

And I may play it in other languages for an additional challenge down the line. Assuming I can work out a reliable way to enter the extended characters quickly. :D

Enjoy then! In addition to English, we have Portuguese, Polish, French, Russian, Spanish and German :)

Love the art-style and I have a few questions as I am considering getting this for my daughter...

Is this game a typing tutorial?
If yes, can it be used to teach children to type?
How scary/violent is it?
Any bad language?

In other words: educational (as far as learning typing goes) and safe for a little child?

Thank you :)

How old is your daughter?

It's not a typing tutorial. It's an adventure game with a typing mechanic but it can help to improve your typing.
The game is not scary/violent at all. The enemies are insects that disappear when you hit them with your magic.
No bad language. We wanted it to be a poetic/atmospheric adventure.

What I would suggest you, is to download the DRM-free demo and make your own idea.

B0SC0: Sorted - Thanks for the heads up ;)

Thanks, she has just started school and loves PCs, tablets, phones or anything else with a shiny display ;)
Plus she can type her own name already!
Will check out the demo.

Superb! Thank you very much, and if only all devs were this forward-looking and responsive.

Awesome release! Easily the best typing game at the moment. Typing of the dead is mostly about speed. Epistory throws in rpg elements and special attacks which can easily have you outperform a much faster typer who doesn't use those powers wisely.

I like typing games very much but this is a 3d so i skip.

If a 2d non 3d/scrolling/zooming game will come i be very intrested.


one of the first typing games was typing shark, simple casual game
later more were designed , and lots of them are 3d, so thats a little bit less.

What's the problem with 3D? :)

@VirginRedemption: I already bought this on Steam a little while ago. I really LOVE the game and you did a great job mixing typing game and RPG with a nice artstyle and some fitting narration. I am a bit sad that you used steam DRM before (afaik it is not mandatory to use their DRM) and did not think the game would arrive this quick on GOG but the game itself really is good and I really recommend it. I am also glad that you are posting here to give support - only a few devs do this - especially on GOG. Nice to have you here :)

When I clicked on this thread, the page setup for me is just so that this was the first thing I read.
My first thought was "One of the few times we actually get a developer to show up in here, and the dude's been tainted by this place so fast that he's already up to some Bradley-style hijinks?"

Jokes aside, this looks like a great game, and it's nice to have you here.
Just out of curiosity, why'd you decide to release the game on Steam before bringing it to GOG?
