"Before the first word, there is only the wanting to begin."
Rough Draft is a cozy typing game about writing a book — one word at a time.
Under an old oak tree, a boy traces letters in the dust. You are the hands on the keyboard. Every word you type becomes a word he writes: carved into leaves, washed away by rain, burned, buried, gathered again, and finally bound into a book. When a chapter ends, you read his story — and the words glowing on the page are the ones you typed.
A story you write to read
10 chapters, 30 stages — a quiet tale of making something and refusing to stop
Your typed words are woven into every chapter's prose
Real page-curl transitions — the whole game turns like a book
Re-read every finished chapter in the book, page by page
Typing that feels good
Lock onto words, fire them home, and watch letters shatter like paper
Combos, speed bonuses, star ratings and S-grades for perfect pages
Golden words worth double — fading words you must save before the ink dries
The Manuscript: your progress is a draft page filling with your own words
Sprint mode
A clean, focused typing test — 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds
Live WPM, accuracy, and a results page made for sharing
Global top 100, friends, and country leaderboards
Made to be calm
Warm parchment, ink and terracotta — no timers screaming at you in story mode
An original acoustic soundtrack that follows the story's weather
Short sessions, gentle difficulty curve, no fail-spirals
Some pages will be lost. Some nights it rains. He keeps writing anyway — and so will you.
The story was finished. The writer was not.
