A Storied Life: Tabitha is a narrative game about sorting through an inheritance and repairing a damaged memoir. After an elderly loved one dies, they leave you their estate and a letter suggesting you sell any valuables. When a mishap damages their soon-to-be-published memoirs, you explore their country house and use the objects you inherit to piece together their hidden past.

Clear the house

Explore a picturesque country house across 17 hand-painted, delicately animated levels, with ambient weather and time-of-day effects. Move furniture, lift rugs and open cupboards to find forgotten objects. Decide whether to keep each one, auction it or discard it, as you sift through fragments of someone’s past.

Pack your inheritance

Fit objects into boxes by moving and rotating them, working within limits on space and weight. You cannot keep everything, so some items must be left behind. Strengthen boxes with tape, vacuum-pack soft goods to make more room, and bubble-wrap fragile objects to prevent them from breaking during unpacking.

Repair the memoirs

Each item you save unlocks associated words. Use them to fill gaps in the damaged memoirs and complete sentences, shaping how the past is recorded. The branching memoirs can be uplifting, silly, shocking, funny or sombre, and your choices affect how your benefactor is remembered and the puzzles in the final room.

Journal and discoveries

Your journal automatically records collected items and their unlocked words, and tracks the funds raised at auction. Broken and pristine versions of the same object unlock different words, so packing items safely affects the memoir puzzles. Replaying levels and experimenting can also reveal unexpected treats.

The story is rooted in North Yorkshire, UK.
