Typing is a skill that requires constant practice to perfect, but there are other ways to encourage a person to quickly improve from two-finger button-mashing to touch-type mastery. Final Sentence knows that the key to success is morbidly simple, as a revolver pointed at your head makes for some effective motivation to avoid typos. Out right now, Final Sentence was one of the highlights of today’s Triple-I Initiative Showcase with its deathmatch typing premise.
Set in a warehouse where up to 40 players type to the death on old-school keyboards, every mistake you make while racing the clock puts you one step closer to death in Final Sentence. Technically, your odds aren’t too bad thanks to the sinister masked guards playing Russian Roulette with your head, but the more typos you make, the worse your odds get.
It’s essentially the Squid Game of typing simulators as you compete in typewriting speed, and there’s even a mode that allows two players to type-duel each other to the death. It’s one of several games putting imaginative twists on the typing genre.
If you’re up to the challenge, you can even load more bullets into your guard’s revolver, while training modes will allow you to sharpen your skills before you enter the hangar of death. The penultimate game of the Triple-I Initiative Showcase, the livestream has just wrapped up.
In total, 40 games were shown off, and there were eight world premieres scattered between them for new titles like the dystopian farming simulator Crop, a Graveyard Keeper sequel, and Don’t Starve Elsewhere.
The show also had a few more surprises, like an Undertale music pack for Rift of the NecroDancer, a brand-new demo for We Were Here Tomorrow, and CloverPit’s Unholy Fusion DLC is out right now for the roguelite gambling game. You can also check out trailers for Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse and the Twin Peaks-esque farming sim Crop.
