I am making a Lovecraftian text editor called Tentacle Typer. It's a text editor / game where you play as a tentacle monster with a magic mechanical typewriter.

Creative writing releases psychic energy that activates machines / opens doors and all sorts of other things. It also exports .txt files.

Depending on what you write, you'll learn different sigils you can arrange into a circle that will activate when you're in danger. Writing a romance novel gets you different powers than a horror or sci-fi short story, for instance.

It's pretty weird, but I'm really proud of all that I've done myself this last year. Solo indie gamedev is a perilous, extremely stressful, maybe stupid career choice but I'm realizing a lifelong dream.

I also think I might be inventing/innovating a new genre of game so it's fun to maybe leave a mark that way too. I hope it'll squeeze some creative writing out of people they never would have written otherwise.
