Others - Keystroke [v2.0] [indyc]

One of my favorite games on the site. The game has a surprising amount of depth due to the bug and hack system, and has loads of engaging and hot content. Pornstar selection was varied and great, and the themed scene selection was very well done (Also I'm a sucker for Liya Silver so this game was tailor made for me).

There have been some complaints about difficulty, but honestly, I think the best way to look at this game would be to consider it a roguelite. Hacks you discover and knowledge of ways to get bugs/memorizing prompts can lead to this game being a breeze after awhile. It just takes a bit of time

Pros -

Loads of content and different fetishes

Rewards observant players. Lets them get away with things like skipping spaces and punctuation if encounter allows, and hack/bug system gives a lot of variety in approach

One of the most creative games I've seen on this site

Way more replay value than it has a right to have

Rich with secrets that show a lot of time and effort has been put in to it

Good variety of pornstars and different zones

Well written and sometimes (accidentally?) funny dialogue

Good music choice and general sound design

High effort

I will admit this game isn't perfect, although the problems weren't big enough to make me take a star away. Most of it just has to do with the engine.

Cons -
Trying to get to the typing prompt can sometimes be annoying (although using tab helps)

Engine makes it so pictures are preferable to gifs and videos(?)

Game's depth might be a curse to some, as it can take some experimenting

There are a lot of hacks to remember, and you can't effectively view them or their cost during a zone

The game can feel difficult unless you engage with all the moving parts

Trying to get specific encounters is difficult at times

There isn't anything like a gallery

Despite these things, this is again, one of my favorite games on this site, and Indyc has done an amazing job with it so far. I'm excited to see where it goes in the future.

Cool concept, but unfortunately game engine limitations (having to click to move focus to the text area) and a weird UI meant I got bored and found this tedious pretty quickly.

The learning algorithm wasn't especially impressive either, but I guess it's limited to the author's imagination re the images to load into it to start with.

And yes, a porn game where you don't have a hand free is just frustrating lol. But kudos to the author for trying something different.

This game is actually really fun! I'm always looking for sexy games that actually have a bit more "game-yness" to them and this fits the bill. I love the system where it adapts to your preferences (wish more games had a similar system) and I could totally see myself playing this for some typing practice with some nice visuals! Would love to see a sequel, more expansions, or similar games like this! Maybe if it's moddable code, some specific packs with some extra girls/levels/kinks thrown in

This is fun. I spent a surprisingly long while with this.

It's very limited, but takes full advantage of it's theme. Only downside I would mention is that they maybe oversold the system of "weighing" scenes toward the type of girls you're interested in, since you do hit the limits of the available content pretty fast.

But the theme is very hot, very well executed and entertaining.

If you like seduction, honeypots, teasing, and don't mind games that require your off-hand, you can't go wrong by checking this out. I recommend that you go in with an open mind and enjoy the unique experience that this game has to offer.

This game includes an AI that learns your preferences over time as the women tease you into making mistakes, and I guarantee there's at least one girl in there who'll get the job done. Along with the adaptive AI, there are codes you can learn along the way to make your job easier and more tailored to your preferences each time you play, giving it a lot of replay value. The more you play it, the more you'll like it. To top it all off, the developer is still working on adding more girls and content to the game.

Don't put it off any longer if you're on the fence. Have fun and enjoy

Very interesting gameplay, keeps me guessing as to the limits of each encounter. Great replay value. The learning aspect is very interesting. Highly reccomend giving it a shot. I can't rate higher since its all real-porn stuff sliced together.

I love it - it surprises me with each run. And sometimes I really don't want them to win. I never thought I would be into typing games... but nevermind.

With each run, you learn more about the game. And the girls remember you.

I hope to see more content soon!

5/5

The game in its current state is very fun and challenging to play. I have an average WPM of 95 and even for me it's quite challenging due to the ''AI" timer.

In the current build there is enough content, saw myself returning to the game a couple of times and got some hours in to it.

Later levels are quite hard at the moment. But after reading the dev responses in the thread tells me that the game is still bound to change with QoL features etc.

This game is also different from the usual ''type a sentence for boobs'' games. As again, this one is more challenging and offers more diverse gameplay with different side effects etc.

If you are doubting to download this game. I'd say to give it a try!

p.s. if you feel like this game is very difficult, you can read the thread for some general tips and tricks

No. Just no.

This must have been written as a inside gag for Milovana's EOS enthusiasts, and the only ones giving this game a rating so far are overrating it, without regard for the fact that there are reasons that it's so obscure that no one else has heard of it before today. It's unsuited to any gameplay interface, and hardly compares well to html as a tease porn viewer.

I'm a touch typist who can average 74 wpm, but futzing around between mouse and clicks and trying to complete phrases in prompts that didn't consistently cursor when I clicked on them was frustrating as fuck. And worse, after completing with 2 hearts remaining, I felt like there was 0 payoff for the stress.

Let me emphasize that this is not a serious attempt at the game, else the developer's excuse about the clicking and cursor issue would have led to him choose another engine! The only reason to reward the developer with 5 star reviews is because you're in the tiny community that happens to appreciate the engine he's using, which simply isn't a good enough justification for reviews written for everyone.

This is FUN!

Seriously, as of a game, I think this should be the very groundbase (speaking of which, I consider linear VNs not a "game"). Keystroke is a fantastic outcome and showcase what is possible to be done following a good concept. It is a bit niché, but way very good in there, therefore: Is it for everyone? No. This is a typing game. So if you feel NOT comfortable to compete with typing skill, this game is not for you, you will not enjoy it. If you are flaky about it, I suggest definitely to try. It is a good experience!

You will face with well supplied eyecandy, softcore and ample hardcore material, via multiple playthroughs, also slowly acquiring limited number hack commands (no meta needed, this is not a literature club ). I feel a bit contradictive that you get to see more if you risk your success via the game, but... I actually find it okay with the good angle of challenges and rewards. Also, if you play smart, you can take paths that actually help tremendously, so what seems to be standard way of playing, that will have several alternatives.

Godspeed, and best wishes for future projects!

[Review of v1.05 on 6/27/2023]

The conceit of a porn game that necessitates both hands... cute.

Well done, though. It's just a typing game, but the game design choices focusing on corruption, computer hacking, and other fetishes as gameplay features is a good touch.

It's not the typical grind-a-thon, and I could see myself enjoying it more in the future. There's a lot of replayability due to the selection of themes/fetishes you can explore en-route to the game's end, and there's also hacking abilities you can collect and unlock to make things easier.

The only reason I might knock a star is because the difficulty is rather high for anyone who isn't trained to touch type. I type at around 60wpm on average and found the game to have a balanced difficulty, but be prepared for a significant difficulty spike when the timer gets introduced, as the rate you have to type increases the more you succeed.

Peck typists should probably avoid this game, as it might kick your ass.
