How it feels
A fast-paced typing RPG that blends pixel-art dungeon crawling with a humorous storyline, rewarding quick and accurate keystrokes.

What players say
Players describe a short typing-based dungeon crawler where combat relies on speed and accuracy, but a dodge button makes it forgiving for slower typists. The map is confusing and there is no quicksave, which can be punishing. Reviews note a free post-launch DLC and a lot of puns.
