This unique new Steam horror game turns typing into a matter of life and death

For those who enjoy fast-paced horror games and wouldn't mind improving their typing speed in the process, Blood Typer just might be the perfect combination of chaos and challenge. Released on Steam with a fresh take on survival horror, this game throws players into a procedurally generated nightmare where every action—attacking, interacting, and even escaping—relies entirely on keyboard skills.

Developed by Outer Brain Studios, Blood Typer places players in a horror movie-inspired setting, where they have to fend off monsters while typing out “Hit Words” to land attacks. The game supports single-player and up to four-player co-op - a two-in-one solo and multiplayer experience where teamwork is essential. If you’ve ever played Typing of the Dead or Resident Evil, expect a mix of both—but with a darker, more intense atmosphere.

One of its standout features is its full combat and inventory system, being controlled entirely through typing. That means players will have to be precise and quick under pressure. The difficulty scaling should be great as well - whether you're a casual typist or someone with a 120 WPM speed, the game adjusts to challenge you accordingly.

Currently, Blood Typers is priced at $8.99 with a 10% introductory discount until March 2. A free demo is also available for those who want to test their skills before purchasing. Early impressions from players describe it as “a blast in co-op” and praise its mix of horror elements and unique gameplay mechanics.

For those looking to sharpen their typing while battling through a terrifying setting, Blood Typers comes with an experience that is equal parts thrilling and educational—that is, if you can keep your nerves steady. Check out the gameplay trailer below.
