Rough Draft

"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.
