- Haunted dolls, chicken hunting, and selling illegal items - 2 May 2026
It’s been almost three weeks since we launched A Storied Life: Tabitha, and it’s been fascinating to see what players are packing, selling and recycling, so we thought we’d share some stats.For those yet to check out A Storied Life: Tabitha, this narrative puzzle title from Lab42 Games is all about deciding what to keep, sell, or pass along as you empty each room of a loved one who recently passed away. As you discover possessions - and as you decide what to do with them - unique stories will be told, allowing you to complete a mysterious memoir. Unsurprisingly, the most common ending was The Jumble, achieved by 33% of players, and the welcome mat was the most recycled item, but we were kind of surprised by some of the other stats, such as the 1% of players trying to sell the Cat Poo and urn of ashes. Have you found all the endings yet? Stats show that only 8% of you have found the Emot…
