How it feels
a hypnotically tedious desert road trip where you type along a story while the landscape warps and a radio drones on, with no safety net

What players say
Players say HeatStroke demands physical endurance because typing at speed for its short story causes hand pain, and they recommend keeping water nearby. The driving has an autosteer trick to buy writing time, making it a memorably brutal but rewarding experience.
