About the Game
Writers is a game where you play as a writer and try to be the first in typing random excerpts from the book. Fight against your friends or players around the world, make your way to the top and show them speed you are capable of. Become a member of Writer's club and master all language leagues!Features
- 8 Game Modes. Do you want to take a duel with your friend? Type a random text or master a daily fixed excerpt? Or maybe Numbers? Choose your way from eight game modes: Duel, Duel Hard, Classic, Fixed, Marathon, Unmistakable, Unmistakable Hard, Numbers.
- Language Leagues. You can choose the language you want to type. Now there are two leagues: English and Russian.
- 22 unlockable characters. You can choose from 22 (or maybe there is more?) characters to become the fastest writer. But you have to try hard to unlock them all.
- Stats and Achievements. Each language league has its own statistic and leaderboards. You can watch the information about your CPM, Mistakes and other stats.
- Improve your typing skills. To win you will have to type without looking on the keyboard. Playing regularly you will be able to use Touch typing technic to be even faster. Then you can use it at your work, study. And, of course, at furious battles in comments. :)
Become a Writer and be the first to finish next masterpiece!

A very simple, but fun game! However, a lot of the excerpts seem to be from about five different books altogether, I must have typed excerpts from Herman Melvilles book at least five times now, two-three times from Dracula... About once or twice from Jane Austen etc. Why is there for example nothing from William Shakespeare? Or Beowulf? Or Le Morte D'Arthur? Or H.P Lovecraft? Or why not get into more modern writers like Ernest Hemingway or J.D Salinger? And I would get REALLY happy if we could get excerpts from really modern writers like Stephen King or J.K Rowling. Also, you could add some poetry. Like how about William Blake or Edgar Allan Poes poetry work? And other language leagues would also be perfect, trying to type in french or swedish could be fun!
This a wonderful game that demands more attention. I would sit in a multiplayer match, and wait endlessly, minutes would pass by and no one would join to play a fun little game with me. Much of that, is not the game's fault, but more so of today's society and their interests. I don't think anyone of this newer, more digital native generation is going to sit down and play a typing game. Especially not the adolescents and prepubescent children all right. Maybe adults might, but even they would have to think about work the next day. This game's only focus is typing, which is wonderful in that aspect. What I don't like about it is how it beeps and glares a red light the moment you make a tiny little error. Examples of this are: forgetting to press space, punctuation, or just the slightest mispress of a key. Despite this, I still really like this game and hope more people will come to appreciate this game for what it is.
A must-buy for every typewriter aficionado, though multiplayer seems to be dead *sigh* Wishlist: [list] [*] contemporary texts (there's enough free to use stuff out there) [*] other languages [*] local profiles and highscore lists (to get a feeling of improvement and to prove that you can type faster than your wife) [/list]
Cute idea, cute premise, but it's not really enough to keep me interested. 15 minutes and I'm bored. (And before you point fingers...I LIKE typing! I'm an author!) Pros -I got to kind of read classic novels while typing at the same time -I learned that I type real fast (Thanks, Obama!) Cons -I got to kind of read the SAME classic novels over and over -Multiplayer is nonexistent
I enjoy this game, played around 5 hours so far. It is very challenging, I find a little frustration with the input, I seem to make more mistakes here than I do places such as typeracer or 10fastfingers. I do however have one suggestion that would make gameplay better, since it's arranged where we read from a paragraph and enter 1 word at a time when we type, if you could make "ctrl+a" available to highlight the word incase we make a mistake, so that we can just re-type the word instead of having to press Backspace 5x or 6x times in order to correct our mistake, this would be more realistic (since in reality in messengers, writing in notepad, or even on web pages, we can hold Ctrl and press backspace to erase entire words and type them again, and in typeracer and 10fastfingers we are allowed to press "Ctrl+A" to highlight the entire word and re-type a new one instead of using the dreaded and practically useless Backspace. The only time I would prefer using the backspace is if I have ma...

It's alright if you're interested in practicing your touch typing skills, should probably be cheaper tho. 1. Right click game in steam library. 2. Manage > Browse local files. 3. Right click writers.exe 5. Properties 6. Compatibility tab 7. Click the Change high DPI settings button. 8. Enable "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings". 9. Enable "Override High DPI scaling behavior".
Great Game. Allows you to better your typing skills at numbers and a random assortment of varying types modes. It has a matchmaking to challenge other players online.
This takes me back to the days of typing class in high school, and to the sounds of students clacking away on keyboards, cursing over misspelled words as our professors breathed down our necks, while the clock slowly ticked down the hour of our lives trapped there... If you don't mind anxiety, then it's a good way to pass the time and practice on your writing.
