A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

INCREDIBLE game! I've been looking for a great typing game for a long time and THIS is exactly what I was looking for! I was hesitant because I didn't think I'd like a first-person dungeon crawler, but the dungeons are easy to navigate, short, and come with a map that auto-fills. I love how the game adjusts the difficulty to my typing speed. I'm regularly cracking over 80WPM, sometimes going far beyond that, and I still had to use the dodge mechanic against the final boss of both the original game and the bonus dungeon. I loved how the game threw in complications with typing, which I won't spoil. It's a fun game, and you can tell the designers had fun making it! Oh, and the conversations are wonderful! There's lots of puns and some cute humor. My only complaints about the game are that the dodge mechanic isn't explained well and it feels like there's a story going on that we're only seeing a part of. It soured me on the final encounter because it felt like there should have been something after it, or an alternate ending, but there isn't any such thing. Nevertheless, the experience is so good that I have to wholeheartedly recommend this to anybody with any interest in typing games.
