About the 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.
