In A Storied Life: Tabitha, players will arrive at the house of someone close to them who has recently died, to find a ruined memoir and a letter of interest from a publisher. Picking through the items that made up this person’s life, you’ll choose what stories you want to tell from their past, using the belongings they’ve left behind.
Each room of the house is filled with trinkets and treasures, but you can only keep so many items. Carefully position objects in a cardboard box and use bubble wrap and tape to secure fragile belongings and strengthen the box for heavier items. Decide what will stay with you, what will be sold, and what will be discarded as you check cupboards and drawers and rearrange furniture to uncover everything still waiting to be found.
Once you’ve packed up a room, it’s time to write a chapter. Each item comes with its own list of words to fill out the memoir, and each word takes the story in entirely new directions. Will you remember this person as a loving parent? A shy recluse? Or perhaps an erratic eccentric? The choice is yours – though the publisher might not appreciate it if your story makes no sense.
A Storied Life: Tabitha is coming to PC in early 2026.
