Type or Die

Your master has fallen on the battlefield. You are his steed, and you lift the sword in his place. Journey through a living Gothic manuscript world where every move is decided by dice and every word you type is a strike.

In this roguelite board game, movement unfolds square by square. Roll the dice each turn to advance, encounter monsters, chests, shops, and events, and make tactical decisions that shape your fate. The keyboard is your primary weapon: type the words shown on screen to attack, pierce defenses, or dodge incoming blows. Speed and precision translate into higher damage, while missteps can open you to counterattacks or impose penalties.

Deck, progression, and playstyle

Each victory, chest, or event grants a card—permanent bonuses, curses, unique effects, or heroic abilities. Build a deck that defines your destiny by combining powerful synergies and trade-offs. With over 100 cards and relics, a constraint-based system rewards creative, risky combos that can tilt the odds in your favor or unleash controlled chaos.

• More than 50 unique enemies and bosses, each with distinct attack patterns and word-based constraints.
• Roguelite progression with permanent death and persistent unlocks between runs.
• Progressive unlocking of new cards, enemies, events, and bosses; increasing difficulty as the run advances.
• Strategic choices that affect the board, combat flow, and economy of shops, chests, and events.

Style and accessibility

Hand-drawn art inspired by Gothic illuminated manuscripts (13th–15th century) brings the world to life, paired with a clear, stylized interface designed for fast typing.

Platform, features, and goals

• Single-player, keyboard-focused gameplay with online Steam leaderboards and achievements.
• Shops, chests, and events offer durable rewards and new challenges.
• Bosses, elites, and medieval creatures test your reflexes and typing prowess.

Type or Die is a tactical, word-powered adventure where your deck, your typing speed, and your choices determine how far you rise through a living manuscript of war and wonder.
