Typing Of The Dead released in arcades 25 years ago remains a masterpiece - funny, absurd, tense, and novel. I am keen on any game that aims to follow in its footsteps, and there are a few. The latest is Blood Typers, a horror game where you tippity-tap on your keyboard to fight montsters in a spooky mansion, but this isn’t a rail shooter, so you’ll be typing to explore and navigate, too.
It’s now got a release of February 2025, and there’s a demo you can play now.

If Typing Of The Dead was a riff on House Of The Dead - almost a mod of it, really - then Blood Typers is most obviously riffing on the originalResident Evil. You’re moving around a spooky space, collecting bullets and other resources, managing your inventory, and finding keys to unlock new areas.
Might I prefer if this was a rail shooter, with movement not your concern? Maybe, but it’s undeniably tense knowing that enemies can come from all sides. There are advantages to the more expansive framework, too: aside from different characters with their own skillsets, Blood Typers supporters co-op for up to four players, meaning you can all be clearing rooms together or exploring different parts of the procedural environments.
You can give the demo a go for yourselfover on Steam.
