The BLOODY KEYS Bundle



[h2]DEAD LETTER DEPT. + BLOOD TYPERS TEAM UP TO CREATE THE 'BLOODY KEYS' BUNDLE[/h2]

Belief Engine & Outer Brain Studios have teamed up to create the 'Bloody Keys' Steam bundle, where you can nab both DEAD LETTER DEPT. + Blood Typers, both iconic new horror typing games, for a discount.

The game Organ Quarter, also by Outer Brain Studios, is one of my personal favorite VR horror games ever. So it's a big honor to be able to make this bundle with them on their brand new release Blood Typers.

[h2]What is Blood Typers?[/h2]
TYPE TO KILL in this survival horror adventure, played entirely with your keyboard. Blast zombies, manage your inventory, and work together to survive and escape. Choose from a roster of characters then plan your escape from this bloody homage to old school horror. But remember... death is just a typo away.



In singleplayer or 1-4 player co-op, you find yourself trapped in a procedurally generated movie campus as it warps into a nightmare. Manage its limited resources right or you might not make it through the night…

Patch v1.5 [Linux Users Please Read]

  • Hot fixing a critical issue preventing native Linux build from launching correctly if you have updated glibc to v2.41 (which apparently broke a lot of backwards compatibility, and fun fact was released the same day as DEAD LETTER DEPT.) Steam Forum thread about it here.
  • Cloud syncing on Linux should now fully function correctly
  • Fixing a rare edgecase issue where entering a Vertical Tab (somehow) in a very very specific circumstance could somehow cause the save data to get corrupted and ultimately reset itself. Also, I learned that Vertical Tabs are apparently a thing, but how you enter one in 2025 is a complete mystery to me (chime in if you're familiar with using these in the modern age).
  • Adding an error screen on launch to notify you if the Save Data is corrupted/not loadable, which will give you some options to consider. Mainly added this to catch any other weird circumstances after encountering the crazy Vertical Tab thing. If I'm very lucky nobody will ever see it.
  • Fixing the Recommended Controller layout for SteamDeck not showing up correctly
  • Fixing minor bug where the Display Resolution setting would get confused and show the wrong entry
  • Several other minor polish & fixes

Patch v1.4

[h3]Patch 1.4[/h3]
  • Entire UI has been all adjusted to now properly layout for all horizontal based aspect ratios instead of clipping off the screen for edge cases like 3:2. Even in the weirdest of ratios it will still try its best.


Thank you very much for your reviews and your bug reports.

Patch v1.3

[h3]Patch 1.3[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue that might have made later parts of the game too dark on some certain setups
  • Made the chances of █▐░█░█ yourself ░█░ █████ ░░░░██ ░█░░ more lenient
  • A bunch of various improvements & minor fixes


Thank you for an amazing 1st week.
