Dead Script raises the keyboard the instant you press START so it's warm before play. If you're testing in the iOS Simulator, the first on-screen tap is laggy there in a way it isn't on a real device — try it on hardware. If it persists on your device, email us your model and iOS version.
On the title screen, under KEYBOARD, choose Native (the iOS system keyboard) or Typewriter (the in-game keys). Your choice is remembered.
Chapters unlock in order — clear a chapter's boss to open the next one. Chapter I (The Morgue) is always available.
Pick Easy, Medium or Hard on the title screen before you start. Easy slows the spawn rate and makes boss counters optional.
Progress (unlocked chapters and best scores) is stored locally on your device and does not sync across devices in this version.
Anonymous gameplay analytics and crash diagnostics, via Google Firebase, to help us fix bugs and improve the game. No account, no personal profile, and nothing is sold. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
