I liked the visuals and sounds, but like others have said, the font works against the game. At least for me personally, making the story dependent on this timed minigame made the story itself harder to follow than a regular narrative game. I think that advancing through the story should feel rewarding, but getting a new block of text only felt punishing. I’m used to writing a lot, but even so, my wrists started hurting and I couldn’t get very far into the game.
EDIT: Perhaps it could still work as a typing game if there was less typing involved. Like using random keys (as the commenter above suggests), or having less of the typing mechanic, by either adjusting the writing or making less of the essay having to be typed out.
