Read full description
A Storied Life: Tabitha is a cozy narrative game about memory, legacy, discovery, and joy inspired by elements of Unpacking, A Little to the Left, and classic word game Mad Libs.
An elderly loved one has died, leaving you their estate and a letter encouraging you to sell any valuables. But when a mishap spoils their soon-to-be-published memoirs, you set out to repair the damage, piecing together their hidden past using the items you inherit.
House clearing with care
Explore a picturesque country house and pack away its contents, room by room. Move furniture, lift rugs, and open cupboards to uncover hidden and forgotten objects.
What separates cherished items from rubbish? Slowly sift through fragments of someone's past and decide whether to keep, auction, or discard each object.
Relaxing packing puzzles
You can't keep everything. Move and rotate items to fit them into boxes. Limited space and weight considerations mean you must let some things go.
Strengthen boxes with tape and vacuum pack soft goods to fit more in. Don't forget to bubble wrap fragile objects or they may break when unpacking.
Restore your loved one's memoirs
Every item you save unlocks a set of associated words. Use these to mend the gaps in the damaged memoirs, completing the sentences to reveal a storied life.
You determine how the past is recorded. Uplifting, silly, shocking, funny, sombre... the memoirs have many potential branches, and every decision is yours.
Key Features
Authentic Yorkshire setting: An intricately branching story rooted in North Yorkshire, UK
Soothing, painterly world: 17 delicately animated, hand-painted levels, enhanced by ambient weather and time of day effects
Multiple endings: The memoirs you write directly impact the final room's puzzles and how your benefactor is remembered
Item encyclopaedia: Your journal automatically logs all collected items and the words they unlock, and tracks the funds you raise at auction
Adaptive word puzzles: Forget to safely pack your items? Broken and pristine versions of the same object unlock unique words for the memoirs
Secrets and surprises: Uncover unexpected treats by replaying levels and experimenting
