Touch typing and horror aren't two genres that typically go together in gaming, making DEAD LETTER DEPT. stand out among its many indie horror peers. It would be easy for a horror game to include typing as a simple gimmick, but in DEAD LETTER DEPT., typing makes up the vast majority of the title's gameplay. The unnerving game does an excellent job of building tension through atmosphere, sound design, and moments that leave the player constantly second-guessing themselves.
