About This Game

Keystroke Pursuit is a typing chase game where you play the getaway. You're a raccoon thief speeding through a 3D toy town, and Sgt. Shiba, a very determined police dog, is right behind you.

Your typing is the engine. Type the passage fast and clean and your car pulls away. Hesitate or mistype and the siren gets louder. Keep a streak going to fire up nitro, dodge roadblocks with a quick burst, and decide at every fork whether a piece of loot is worth the seconds it costs.

Features

• Case Files campaign: 18 heists across four districts. Start with a morning-market teapot job and night runs where only your headlights reveal the words ahead, then hit a fog-bound harbour where you freeze whenever a police helicopter's searchlight finds you, and a gallery's night opening where one wrong key inside a laser zone sets off the alarm.
  
• A story in 3D cutscenes: Sgt. Shiba upgrades his kit district by district. The harbour and the gallery each end in a boss case, all the way to a sunrise finale over Key City.
  
• Three-star scoring: every case has a score and bonus objectives, so there's always a cleaner, faster getaway to go back for.
  
• Loot to collect: 55 stolen treasures to grab mid-chase and show off in your hideout.
  
• Tune your getaway car: earn talent points and fit parts in the garage (steady tyres, sprint engines, trick gadgets), each with its own trade-off.
  
• A rival with personality: Sgt. Shiba has something to say about every run, and never quite gives up.
  
• Real books to type: passages from public-domain classics in nine topics: detective stories, English classics, sea adventures, science and nature, fairy tales and fables, classic poetry, stage comedy, wit and wisdom, and golden-age detective fiction. Type Shakespeare, Poe and Keats, Oscar Wilde, Bernard Shaw and Gilbert & Sullivan, Mark Twain, G. K. Chesterton, Maurice Leblanc and Emily Brontë, and pick your run length.
  
• Quick chases: free escape runs, or swap sides and play the police in a pursuit.
  
• Cosmetics, no microtransactions: spend in-game coins on paint jobs, typing-panel themes, trails and hats.

The interface is available in English and Simplified Chinese. Typing passages are in English. A physical keyboard is required.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We used AI tools while making this game. The music was composed with an AI model (the AI wrote the note data, and the game plays it on a real-time synthesizer). Some in-game text, including character dialogue and the lines in the story cutscenes, the names and descriptions of districts, cases, loot and achievements, and the short loot tags you type during cases, as well as the store page text and the trailer captions, were drafted with AI assistance. The 3D models, story cutscenes and animation, visual and sound effects, and interface were built procedurally in code with help from an AI coding assistant; no image-generation models were used. The typing passages are public-domain literature by human authors. The game does not generate any content with AI while you play.
