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.

Great game, almost top tier to learn typing. I earned by typing chops from the Sierra adventure games in the 80s/90s ... this comes very close. I had my kids play it -- its vocab feels slightly more advanced than the old Sierra games, but they did ok nonetheless.

Although, they picked up key pecking skills already from touch devices, so they have less need of something to teach them typing; also reflected by typing classes no longer being offered in school, either.
Typing of the dead was it for me. Or at least the most memorable!
Mavis beacon was the goto in the 90's, typing of the dead is nostalgia. This is another free game added to my epic library

Interesting. Haven't played a typing game in years.

Not familiar with the Sierra games, but I can credit a hand-me-down Typeright(?) device along with videogames like Typing of the Dead for giving me huge skillboost in touch typing as a child.

This game is an excellent game for typing (and it's fun too). I lost my old digital copy when one of my kids poured water on the laptop... :/

So I very much look forward to picking this up again tomorrow.

Link not working for me, Slickdeals may be messing with it? Either way, you can type Epistory in the search and find it easily.

Brings back good memories of Mario Teaches Typing.

To this day every day I bungle a word my brain envisions getting crushed by a thwomp – it's very motivating.

I wish the would bring trying of the dead to VR. Would love to play it with my Quest and wireless keyboard. Plus, harder to cheat by looking means I'll get even better at typing!

For those of you who have played this, what age range might this be suitable for? Would an average 6yo find it enjoyable?

Any other typing games recommendations? I loved Typing of the Dead and Mario Teaches Typing back in the day...

Thanks in advance!

Yeah SD always breaks links. I very often just have to look up the sale myself.

If anyone is interested in a fun, simple typing test check out MonkeyType: https://monkeytype.com/. It's well-designed and uses a lot of short words to give you a score and error rate. You can customize a LOT of things, from the dictionary, time limit, and color schemes to much more in-depth settings.

That said, I really enjoyed played Epistory when I started playing the game on Stadia (anyone remember that service?). The graphics, story, and gameplay are a lot of fun. And, some of the words are really obscure and great for vocabulary-building!

I heard you can even practice typing right here on SlickDeals.net. Smilie
