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 someones past and decide whether to keep, auction, or discard each object.

Relaxing packing puzzles

You cant 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. Dont forget to bubble wrap fragile objects or they may break when unpacking.

Restore your loved ones 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.
