A wholesome narrative puzzle game about the objects we leave behind and the stories they tell. Complete a loved one's damaged memoirs by exploring their home and packing away their things.

<h2 class="bb_tag" > </h2>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. <h2 class="bb_tag" >House clearing with care</h2>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.<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/3749330/extras/d449fac6dcf3cc104d9f8fe2acafc364.poster.avif?t=1767717200" aria-label="An isometric view of a kitchen in an English country house.
