Why typing makes it work
In most life sims you click. Here you type, so the time you spend tending your farm or working a shift is also typing practice. Clean typing pays more than rushed typing, so you get faster and more accurate without it ever feeling like a drill.
Play at your own pace
Start with a quick typing test, then open the world one place at a time. Short sessions add up: a few minutes watering the farm, a shift at work, a chapter of a book. Your progress saves in your browser, or in the cloud if you sign in.
Prefer something simpler? The typing test and the daily challenge are always one click away.
