Memory Keeper by lismi

“Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
You must tend the churchyard. Help preserve the memories of ghosts by typing their names before they fade away. But be vigilant! As time passes, more gravestones (with their resident ghost folk) will appear. Stones will also weather over time and names may become obscured, leaving you to rely on your memory. How long can you keep their memories alive?
A super simple browser game whipped up over the weekend, designed to challenge your typing speed and your memory. All names are randomly generated by combining a list of first names and surnames.
I wanted to start small for my first game jam so there's not a lot of polish, but fingers crossed it is vaguely playable.
Instructions
To stop the ghosts from fading, you must type their names correctly.
Click a gravestone to select it, then type the name on that stone to restore the ghost to full strength.
Letters will light up in green as you type them correctly.
Beware! If you make a typo, you'll have to start typing the name from the beginning again.
As time passes letters will disappear (replaced by an underscore). Try to remember the names!
