NEOLAVI announced and released 'Typing Salon ~Touch & Relax~' on June 8, making it immediately available on itch.io. The developer's previous titles include 'Macholium' and 'Muscle Scoop,' both of which share a similar offbeat sensibility. In this game, the player character fulfills a dream of opening a massage parlor, only to find the first client is a keyboard that has become stiff from daily use. The gameplay requires pressing the correct keys in time with the rhythm, with the player's hand movements interpreted as massage actions-gentle or vigorous depending on the timing. A FEVER gauge at the top of the screen fills to maximum to trigger a luxurious effect. The game costs $3 (approximately 500 yen) and is available for download now.
