Epistory: Typing Chronicles is an adventure typing game officially released in 2016, by Fishing Cactus.
You play as a girl who is riding a fox with three tails. The gameplay is straightforward, you type the words that are located above the enemy or obstacle. But throughout the story, you will learn how to use four elements: fire, ice, spark and wind. Those elements will not be only used to surpass or defeat certain enemies (enemies whose letters are coloured with the same colour of the element needed to defeat them), but also to use each element's ability (for example, fire, burns the word after the written one; ice, freezes the opponent for some time;...).
The story is sometimes hard to understand, and at times it feels disconnected because it follows the writer's writing process, which is represented by how the world unfolds.
As you type your way through this adventure, you will get typing points, which are used to get access to certain parts of the map and to get upgrades. I recommend first upgrading your elemental abilities since I've found those abilities helpful, especially when fighting at nest sites (a site found on the map from where, when you stand at the designated spot, enemies will start coming to you from all sides).
Something which I highly recommend using is the adaptive difficulty, which is already enabled as default. This difficulty option learns how fast/slow you type and according to that it makes the game harder/easier.
The only thing I found sometimes irritating is that in the last two chapters the nest fights took too long to finish and sometimes in them, there were too long intervals between enemy waves, which further prolonged the fight.
All in all, a relaxing game, with a beautiful paper-like art style, with both great and relaxing soundtracks. It's not long, not boring. I recommend it even to those who can't type fast on their keyboard since this game offers the adaptive difficulty option. To sum up, it's a sweet and relaxing adventure.
