Keyboard Only Games

Keyboard-only games let you play just by using your keyboard, like in the early days of PC gaming. You don't need a mouse or special controller—just type or use the arrow keys. Classic games like Zork and new indie games show that a keyboard is all you need for fun and exciting adventures. Because every computer has a keyboard, anyone can play these games right away.
People like keyboard-only games for different reasons. Some enjoy the old-school style, while others prefer the quick, precise controls of using keys. In games like roguelikes and rhythm games, timing is very important. Typing games even give you points for how fast and accurately you type.
There are many types of keyboard-only games. Text adventures let you type what you want to do and use your imagination. Roguelikes give each action its own key, so controls are quick and simple. Rhythm and typing games test your speed and timing. Some games use only one button, so anyone can play.
Game developers are making these games more inclusive by adding features like customizable keys and support for screen readers. Whether you want to chase high scores, enjoy good stories, or just want a game you can play on any computer, there's a keyboard-only game for you.
