About this game
Typenstein: A Symphony of Keys is a silent horror-inspired typing tower defense game. Defend your castle by typing words above enemies' heads to shoot them. Use the experience to level up and unlock new skills. Collect defeated enemies and use them to upgrade the castle.
Each night, a number of villagers will come to attack your castle. Type the words floating above their heads to strike them down. Each enemy grants experience based on word length. Your faithful companion, Igor, will collect bodies so you can use them later.
After repelling all the villagers, you can focus on fixing and upgrading your castle by using defeated enemies to create Gargoyles. Each of them has a unique passive ability that lowers the number of enemies, helps you kill shorter words, or resurrects them, allowing you to kill them a second time and earn more bodies.
At first, only weak villagers are sent towards you. But each night, they get stronger, coming in larger groups or with different abilities. You need to assess the danger. Pick the most dangerous enemies and kill them before they hit your castle walls.
Custom Skill Naming - You can name each skill you unlock to take advantage of the enemies.
Gargoyle Passives - Automate the defense of your castle so you can focus on more dangerous targets.
Ever-Changing Words - Each run is different thanks to the number of words used.

Typenstein: A Symphony of Keys - Demo out NOW!
Hey all,This is my first post here since I was waiting for the demo to be more or less finished before starting proper marketing. But now I want to confirm that the demo is out NOW.So the game is a tower defense typing game where you play as Doctor Typenstein, who needs to defend his castle along with his servant Igor against waves of villagers that want to destroy his home. As the owner of the castle, you need to guide your servant and pick which villager you want to attack.The demo allows you to play the first 5 nights and ends at the beginning of night 6. This should be a nice showcase of the features of Typenstein. The full version will have more skills, Gargoyles, modifiers, and more. The game will also have a small story and progression through runs.The goal is to polish the demo during the next couple of months and then do a final checkup during the October Steam Next Fest. After the event, the full release will happen somewhere between the middle of November and December.The final release date might still change due to various circumstances, but this is what I’m aiming for now.For now, you can pick the Enemy Language from a handful of options (English, Polish, German, Italian, French, Spanish, and Japanese). However, the game is translated only into English and Polish. I aim to change that soon—hopefully, for Steam Next Fest in October, the game will be translated to correspond to the Enemy Languages. The final game will be around 5$/5€.Read full article on Community Announcements (FunkyFerret)
