One demo that took a wee bit of getting used to is Blood Typers, a survival horror typing game with the feel of an old school Resident Evil knock off. Select from one of five characters before starting your run, each with their own stats in Health, Agility, Melee, and Ranged. Explore a cursed film studio using mainly the shift keys to rotate your camera, arrow keys to rotate your character, typing to interact with objects / move / attack, and the tab key to engage combat mode against the zombies inhabiting the studio. Items are plentiful, far more than your meagre inventory of seven spaces can ever handle, health items being in nearly every room, able to be combined into more powerful food items. I gave the demo a whirl as Ophelia on Normal / Normal difficulty (one for your words per minute, one for the difficulty of the creatures / survival horror elements), finding things to be pretty manageable once you get the hang of the camera / positioning the character for combat. Enemies are pretty easily dispatched in small numbers (one or two) using melee, anything higher needing to be thinned out with a pistol. Three correct words will drop an enemy, successful strikes causing an interrupt to the enemy attack. I didn't find my time with Blood Typers to be challenging, more-so hindered by having to grapple with the mechanics of camera / character positioning that take time to get used to. Supplies would often be left behind as I just didn't have the space to carry pretty much anything I came across; weapons, ammo, food items, and even key items to progress – including actual keys! Blood Typers didn't quite hook me in the same way as something like Cryptmaster did, but I can see it still having a niche audience. Recommend giving it a whirl if you think a Resident Evil-ish typing game might be your cup of tea. **Uninstalled**
