Evaluation
Epistory - Typing Chronicles launched on March 30, 2016 and has been fully complete for some time. The developer explicitly stated on December 3, 2017 that the update released that day was "the very last update on Epistory - Typing Chronicles." This was reaffirmed on March 25, 2022, when the developer released a final round of bug fixes and wrote "This, we hope, will be the last update on our beloved Epistory." The only subsequent update, on May 11, 2023, added Korean localization and fixed minor bugs — a small maintenance patch, not new content. No further developer communications about Epistory have followed. The sole DLC is an OST pack released on April 27, 2016, and no additional DLC has ever been listed. The developer has since moved on to successor projects (Nanotale, Outshine). Epistory shipped as a complete, self-contained narrative experience and has received no content additions beyond its original release.

About this 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

- All in keyboard: from movements, combats to even menus, control everything with a keyboard
