Type or Die

About this game

Your master has fallen on the battlefield. You are his steed, and you take up the sword in his place. Advance through a typing game inspired by board games and roguelites, square by square, rolling dice each turn. Encounter monsters, chests, shops, events, and tactical choices in a world drawn like a living Gothic manuscript.

Your keyboard is your primary weapon. Type the words displayed on the screen to attack, break through defenses, or dodge enemy strikes. The faster and more precise you are, the more damage you inflict. Bosses, elites, and medieval creatures will put your reflexes to the test.

Every victory, every chest, and every event grants you a card: permanent bonuses, curses, unique effects, or heroic abilities. Combine them to create devastating or utterly chaotic builds. In this roguelite, your deck defines your destiny.
