About the game

Your keyboard is the gun. Type to drop zombies in an isometric city that generates fresh every run. Campaign, endless roguelite, and a horde-survival mode. Unique survivors. Deadly special infected. Want to just kill things without typing? Switch to RUN & GUN and play it as a shooter instead.

Original Steam description

TYPE FAST OR DIE!!!

Your keyboard is the weapon: type a zombie's word and it goes down. Or switch to RUN & GUN and play it as a shooter instead. A story campaign, arena mode, and an endless roguelite, in a city that rebuilds itself every run.

START WITH THE DEMO

                          

TYPE, OR AIM

If typing is not your thing, RUN & GUN plays the same game with WASD, mouse aim, dodge rolls and active reloads. Same city, same infected, no typing at all. You choose at the start of a run, and you can change your mind on the next one.

LAST STAND

A sealed arena, a spawn stream that does not stop, and a build you draft as you go: XP, level-ups, pick-one-of-three perks, banishes, rerolls, and evolutions earned on boss kills. From a bare fenced yard to a walled city block to a treatment plant you have to lap. In typing, waves arrive on a schedule that scales with how fast you type and night falls on a long enough run.

THE CAMPAIGN

Several missions across a city coming apart — a farmhouse, a hospital, a police station, a shopping mall you hold against waves, and the biolab underneath all of it. Between missions you run the camp: bring strangers home, trade letter tiles for upgrades, and talk to the people you rescued.

THE INFECTED

Zombies, each with different abilities
