What Typoman is
Typoman is an adventure game developed by Brainseed Factory and released in 2015. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox One, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In a bleak, shadowy world built out of letters, a small being made of type named HERO comes to life and sets off through a hostile landscape. His unique gift is the power of language itself: by gathering and arranging letters into words, he can reshape his surroundings, spelling "up" to raise a lift or "open" to unlock a path forward. As the challenges grow more devious, HERO must craft ever cleverer words to overcome the dark forces around him and press on through the oppressive world.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 20 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Typoman holds a critic score of 69 out of 100. That places it above 32% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2015 averaged 69, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 Ghz, 4 GB RAM and Intel HD 4000 / GTX 710. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Typoman launched on 19 November 2015, within three weeks of Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Wars Battlefront and Just Cause 3. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Wars Battlefront, Just Cause 3.
