Typing Chronicles is the next Epic Game Store freebie – Destructoid
World of Words
Epic Games Store has revealed the next title that it will be offering up gratis for its huge army of users — Available to download from January 19 to all users, it’s the unique, narratively driven Epistory: Typing Chronicles.
Developed by Belgian studio Fishing Cactus and released back in 2016, Epistory is the tale of a young girl, who rides a three-tailed fox around a constantly evolving origami world, under attack from an array of paper spiders and other crease-tastic bugs. Epistory: Typing Chronicles is a particularly original title from both an aesthetic and gameplay standpoint. Not only is its delightful paper world incredibly cool and inviting, but the game’s story and world unfolds, (quite literally), via the player’s typing ability. It’s a unique, smartly conceived concept, which you can see in action for yourself in the trailer below.
The player follows on-screen typing prompts in order to control our hero, defeat their enemies, and advance the core story itself. Much like other word-based video games, such as The Typing of the Dead, speed and accuracy will be the tools necessary to progress through the adventure, accessing new areas, while protecting our foxy friend from an increasingly aggressive army of bugs. Epistory is a very novel release, and almost worth the price of admission alone for its beautifully crafted origami universe.
Epistory: Typing Chronicles will be available to download from the Epic Games Store from January 19. Until then, you can still pick up murder mystery freebie First Class Trouble from the EGS dashboard.
