Had the same freezing problem
As an earlier reviewer mentioned it does have an issue with keeping up to speed with the players own typing.
Interesting idea none-the-less.
Reviews for "The Essay"
Repetitive Whining
Just like every other person who reviewed before me said , it was a failtacular attempt to keep up with the fast typing required. This game has a chance to become a big ol' bucket of McAwesomeSauce if you just fix those glitches.
very confusing
I don't get how you're even supposed to pay. There are no clear instructions and all you do is watch an essay get typed. how is this even a game and what do you mean by "cross the line"?? what line and how do you keep it from crossing. I only gave this a 6 because other people seem to understand it. I don't know how they got it when I can't though

Sorry mate, you're supposed to type the letters as they appear on the screen :P
very strange.
it kind of has sticky keys, I am pressing the keys and it isn't showing up, so I have to press it again. it also auto-does the commas, endings, etc.
Squash the bugs
I agree to the guy on the bottom. I also believe that the timing is off, because in when I typed once, I got a time. Then on the next trial, I got about two more lines in, and it turns out that I got the SAME time.
