Picture Salmon Bay: an isolated, run-down northern
California village, home to an idle fleet of fishing
boats, a deserted amusement park, and a handful of
secretive, even hostile residents. When private
investigator Sharon McCone arrives in search of one of the
town's wayward daughters, the train leads to the thriving
resort of Port San Marco. McCone believes that the missing
woman, a former social worker named Jane Anthony, was
involved in the suspicious deaths of three terminally ill
patients at an exclusive hospice.
But the elusive Jane Anthony turns up all too soon -
washed up beneath a rotting pier in her Salmon Bay. McCone
discovers that no one - not her client, a reclusive
photographer, nor Jane's mother, nor her hospice
employers - wants to find out why she died. Then the
killer strikes again, Jane's secret life come into focus,
and McCone finds that someone wants her out of the
picture - permanently.
In any case, despite the " hydro-sandblaster " and pinched fingers, Epistory - Typing Chronicles tightens with the head. This is by no means a quick print simulator - it's really a stylish and exciting action- adventure game, in which everything is interesting: explore the world, learn magic, look for some secret places and chests, fight, solve puzzles (sometimes very original), collect scraps of bonus pictures, save experience, "pump" the heroine, watch the story. And learn the words, about the existence of which you did not even suspect. The only wish: do not play Epistory - Typing Chronicles after all day typed some text on the keyboard!

Pros: unusual concept; interesting story; own style and atmosphere; fascinating exploration of the world; a useful role-playing system; an abundance of various puzzles; adaptive complexity. Cons: the game is rather short; places management leaves much to be desired. (Anna May 10:47am May 20, 2018)
