What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Glyphica has proven that it has a great game design loop and a fresh take on the roguelite/typing genre. We have many ideas about where we want to take the game, but we want a community of dedicated players to bounce those ideas off and see which they respond to best.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on being in Early Access for a minimum of 6 months up to at most 1 year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We’re adding a large amount of new systems to the game that will require a lot of testing and iteration as we build content for them. These include a weapon Evolution system that changes the core functionality of each weapon based on usage, a mission system that allows the game to be played in more manageable sprints, and an improved Augmentation system that will make the meta game more engaging. These will be available in the EA version with a basic amount of content that allows it to be playable but will not be complete.

We’re planning to create additional content for the new systems based on the feedback we receive during EA, in addition to making improvements to how each system functions within the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We currently have a working demo of all basic features. In addition to that, we’ve built the Evolution system and fleshed it out with a minimal cache of content for early testing.

We’re working to finish building the mission system and the improvements to Augmentations in time for our Early Access launch.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to raise the price as we release new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We are already actively involving our community in the development process by taking suggestions and feedback in our discord server. We expect Early Access will amplify this to the benefit of the game and our players.”

About This Game



Glyphica is a typing rogue-like that challenges your typing skills and strategy as you eliminate waves of enemies with your keyboard. Master your glyphs, unlock upgrades, and prioritize targets to unleash devastation on your foes and stay alive. How fast can your fingers fly?

Type to Shoot


Type the word above an enemy's name to fire your main weapon at it. It's as simple as that. All other acquired weapons are triggered by that same action, so you have to pick which enemy to fire at carefully.

Endless Upgrade Combinations


Between random loot and level up upgrades, there are hundreds of combinations for you to explore. Every game is different and you will be presented with different choices from your last, pick wisely to survive as long as possible.

Permanent Unlocks


Find an optimal build that suits your playstyle? Make it stronger using permanent upgrades. Use currency earned from sessions to craft a unique build that catapults you into record times. Change your mind? No worries, you can reset your upgrades for free and start over.

Controller Support


Typing games on the controller are impossible you say? Not anymore. Glyphica transforms the words into quicktime sequences for the same exhilarating gameplay on a gamepad. It's a fresh experience even for experienced typists (you'll feel like a rookie again), not to mention it's a lot more comfortable to play on the couch.

Laid-back Vibes


Relaxing lofi beats in the background help you focus on the game and decompress after a long day. Each game lasts 8 - 12 minutes (longer if you are good), so it can be played in short bursts between tasks.

Key Features

  • Ever-evolving Builds: Carve your own upgrade path through hundreds of combinations.
  • Augmentation System: Unlock perma-upgrades and evolve your build across sessions.
