The graphics of the game are described as very simple and unpolished, with minimal distractions that focus primarily on typing. While some users appreciate the responsive design, many criticize the overall aesthetic quality, noting bugs that affect the menus and a lack of engaging visual elements. Overall, the graphics do not enhance the gameplay experience and are considered a weak point of the game.
- “It's responsive and the audio and graphical aesthetics are nice.”
- “I bought this game as part of a bundle with the much more realized Epistory (which has some great graphics to boot).”
- “It has maybe not so fantastic graphics, but if you are typing buff with an ergonomic keyboard and custom keys layout, you will get a lot of fun!”
- “The soundtrack is generic, the sounds are annoying, the existing graphics are unpolished and mainly it delivers no fun at all.”
- “There are, of course, no real graphics to speak of.”
- “Think of this like Typing of the Dead, without the Dreamcasts, crappy voice acting, and terrible Dreamcast graphics.”

The gameplay is centered around typing mechanics, offering a unique experience that may appeal to niche audiences, particularly those who enjoy using mechanical keyboards. However, the lack of multiplayer options and some graphical bugs detract from the overall experience, and the text presentation can be visually unappealing, which hampers enjoyment. Despite these issues, the game is still considered fun, especially for those who appreciate its original concept.
- “A game that uses typing as its main game mechanic?”
- “Fun game to play, especially with a mechanical keyboard.”
- “So, sure, this is kind of an original idea (at least, I'm not aware of another game that has this kind of direct, mano a mano typing gameplay).”
- “In the end, this game has lots of bugs (but they never affect the gameplay itself, just the graphics in the menus) and, most of all, it has no multiplayer activity and it's been like this for ages, almost since it came out here.”
- “Overall, it's a fine game and idea, but I find the text you type under the words unbearable to look at and hampering to gameplay.”
- “So, sure, this is kind of an original idea (at least, I'm not aware of another game that has this kind of direct, mano a mano typing gameplay), but who would this appeal to?”

The story aspect of the game emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, suggesting that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. However, the narrative is overshadowed by comparisons to other typing games, which are noted for their superior storytelling and overall execution. Players recommend titles like "Epistory" and "Typing of the Dead" for a more engaging narrative experience within the genre.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “I bought this game as part of a bundle with the much more realized Epistory (which has some great graphics to boot).”
- “For example, choose Epistory for a generally nice, well-rounded typing game on Steam, or Typer Shark for a more simplistic yet challenging typing experience.”
- “Epistory, Typing of the Dead: Overkill, Typer Shark Deluxe, Grimm's Quest: Remastered, and God of Word are five different games in this very specific subgenre that ultimately outclass this.”
- “If you want a typing game, I suggest Typing of the Dead, or for a family-friendly experience, Epistory: A Typing Experience.”

Players have noted that the game's optimization is lacking, particularly for faster typers, as the AI's immediate response time and ability to handle unusual words can hinder player performance and enjoyment. This imbalance creates a frustrating experience for those who type quickly.

- “I love how the game adjusts difficulty based on my performance, making each session feel tailored and engaging.”

- “The lack of proper optimization leads to an uneven playing field, where the AI's immediate response time undermines the skills of human players.”
