TYPE OR DIE
Released
About the game
An old custom: the village sacrifices the "unintelligent and unworthy" to survive — and this typing duel decides who. Read the words hidden across three columns and weave the longest one you can before time runs out, or you're the next sacrifice.
Original Steam description
This village keeps an old custom: to secure its survival and prosperity, it offers the "unintelligent and unworthy" as sacrifice. This ritual-like typing duel is how that choice is made.
Only part of each column's card is revealed. Weave the longest word you can form from what's shown, before time runs out. Only the one who weaves the longest word is spared; everyone else takes damage equal to its length.
The longer the word woven, the greater the punishment inflicted — healing, a broken tool (your keyboard), doubled punishment, even an immediate sacrifice.
A single word can change your fate entirely. Stay "worthy" to the very end, and escape the sacrifice.
Key Features
Tension against the clock — everyone weaves and types within the time limit at once. Inspiration and typing speed decide who's "worthy"
Length-based bonus tiers — 5 to 10 letters, escalating from healing to an immediate sacrifice
Breakable keyboards — part of the punishment can break a key, narrowing the words you're able to form
Online multiplayer — private rooms with a room code, or quick match up to 4 players
Japanese & English support — full romaji-to-kana input handling, separate dictionaries per language
