so glad this is here.

thank you.

Thanks for bringing the game here. :) So happy to be able to play it.

I've finished the game a while ago (and loved it), but it's definitely not a typing tutorial. There's no onscreen keyboard and there is no didactic build up in difficulty (first starting with only letters on the same row etc.). However it is a very fun game to play if you enjoy typing and if I remember correctly you can scale the difficulty way down. The most difficult (apart from typing) is the way you control your character. The game is played from an isometric viewpoint and while you can use the arrow keys or the aswd keys to control the character the most natural (but non-intuitive) way to control the character is to use the ef and ji keys so you can control the character while keeping your fingers in the touch typing position. In order to attack enemies or interact with the world you have to press the space bar to go into typing mode. And that's where it's probably best to help your daughter by controlling the character with the arrow keys and letting her focus on the typing. Some puzzles are time based or require a lot of precise and quick manoeuvring and there are parts where you slip over ice that can be quite frustrating too, and that might be where your help is needed in order to avoid needles frustration. Constantly having to focus on controlling the character at one moment and typing to attack enemies the next can be difficult, especially if you can't get the hang of using the ef ji keys for movement.
As for being scary/violent, there are some creepy crawlies in the game but they're very stylised, unless your daughter has advanced arachnophobia I don't think she'll get scared.
There is no foul language, but there are some words in the game that required even me to dig up the thesaurus and look up there meaning.
The art style of this game is really beautiful, like origami being folded and unfolded and there are poetic texts being displayed and read aloud. There is a somewhat sad story being told (I don't want to spoil anything so I have to be vague), but it ends well and it's not a scary story in any way.
In short: if you want to teach your daughter touch typing there are many free websites where you can let her practice. If you want to let her put what she's learned into practice, this is a great game to do just that. And you can always try the demo if you're not sure.

I'm suprised to see this here. Played the demo on St... err, that other site a while back when there was a free game offer for it. I chose ... poorly, so I didn't get it. I would get it, but my gaming budget is exhausted until 2018 or so. But I'd gladly skip a meal out for this game. Can't skip two meals, though. Makes me a bit grumpy.

I've wishlisted it for now, and I'll likely bite during the 'Winter is Coming' sale later this year.

Yes, the first chapter was very well done, and the art style is very unique. I think that this may easily become a classic. It certainly falls into the category of 'Good Old Game'. I cannot wait to see what kind of game you come up with next. Hoping for TBS, but if it's another typing game, I'm good with that. Since the engine's done, I suspect it will be the latter (c: Oh, forgot to mention that the music's good, too. Added ambiance without being in your face. Also, was at least a couple of minutes long, and not the same 8 bars repeated endlessly. I remember my friends playing some facebook games that did that.

As for the typing, like you, I believe that your time is better spent learning words and word-letter groupings than knowing which keys are where. Letter drills are good for all of about 5 minutes, then I'm bored out of my mind.

About switching to Dvorak - I considered it, but changed my mind once I realized everyone else's computers would be foreign to me. (I came to this conclusion after attemping to type on a Danish laptop keyboard. The letters were mostly the same, but the symbols and key positioning (enter/backspace directly on top of each other) confounded me.) Do you use Dvorak for your main computer? Did it help your typing speed or is it easier on the wrists? How do you handle switching?

Thanks for allowing GOG to sell your game!

Bought. Looks very interesting. :)

If nothing else, me wanting to climb the leaderboards was the reason I did online exercises to learn to touch type. So thank you for that :) It worked as well: I managed to reach the top10 on Factory in the Arena! By the way, do those leaderboards reset periodically? I think it would be a good idea for it to reset perhaps once a week or once a month, otherwise the top10 essentially becomes totally fortified against new possible entries. Within a week or two the score that landed me in the top10 was only good enough for the 20th position or so.
Personally I quite like Race the Sun's approach. There is a new leaderboard each day, but you can also go backwards and check what the highscore for any previous date was.

It seems a very fresh idea, I have wishlisted this for when I have a better pc. >.<

I have a mid-range laptop from 4 years ago, and the game runs fine on my system on medium graphics. You can also check out the demo first to see how it runs.

In Italy I have: 14.99 € full price, 9.79 € discounted. It says that I will get 1.10 € on my GOG wallet.
So it becomes 8.69 € if you plan buying more games in the future. And you plan.
It is made to round the price to something nice looking in the local currency, mantaining the same price. They call it the fair price package. If you click on the dollar symbol on the home to have a short explanation.

Hey! How do you do to see all other prices in other countries on GoG? As an european, I only see the EU price, I'm curious.

Mmm I will try that and see how the game behaves with my glorious fully expanded 3 gb RAM.
