The absolute clinging to your interpretation of historical facts, even when the simplest Wikipedia or Google search will prove you wrong. A portmanteau of insistence and history.
Marcel's insistory of the War of 1812 is that Canada burned down the White House, but according to Wikipedia, the British forces did that and Canada didn't even become a country until 1867.

A short, catchy word for a long-overdue genre: story-first games with little to no actual gameplay. Think Disco Elysium, Firewatch, SOMA, The Invincible, or Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York. They’re instories — interactive stories with just enough game to click “next.”

Books are dying. People still love stories, but now they want to walk through them, talk to them, be them. That’s where instories come in.

Subgenres include:
— noir instory: Chain-smokes regret.
— horror instory: You are the flashlight.
— instory drama: Your only weapon is a sigh.
“The devs behind Disco Elysium just dropped a new instory. You play as a trenchcoat looking for meaning. But first — a cigarette.”

“In the new instory from the SOMA team, you’re a microwave with uploaded consciousness trying to remember what humans taste like.”

“The creators of The Invincible made an instory where literally nothing happens. You don't even walk. It’s beautiful. It’s nothing. It’s beautifully nothing.”

Think Disco Elysium, Firewatch, SOMA, The Invincible, or Vampire: The Masquerade — Coteries of New York. These aren’t quite visual novels, nor are they walking sims, or interactive fiction. They’re instories — interactive stories with just enough game to click “next.”

Subgenres include:

— horror instory: You are the flashlight.
