Presenting itself as an educational adventure with America’s favorite avant-garde director, “David Lynch Teaches Typing” takes players through the basics of learning how to use a computer keyboard.

And, sure enough, what starts out as a straightforward if not unconvincingly enthusiastic typing tool veers off into appropriately surrealist territory.

The five-minute preview version teaches users how to use a single row of letters on a standardized computer keyboard, and is being offered as a free download for Windows PC, Linux and Mac OS by Rhino Stew

It’s a first published game for the studio, which previously produced “2 Kawaii 4 Comfort,” a six-part comedy drama about animé conventions and, more recently, four-minute short “Darksoulscycle,” in which the punishingly difficult role-playing game “Dark Souls” is reimagined as a fitness center.

Video gaming as a whole is no stranger to David Lynch’s legacy, particularly his work on “Twin Peaks” in the early 1990s.

Off-kilter detective mystery “Deadly Premonition” and psychodramatic horror “Alan Wake” are among those referencing the show most obviously, while more recent releases such as narrative adventures “Virginia,” “Kentucky Route Zero” and “What Remains of Edith Finch” channel Lynchian blends of sinister suggestions and dreamlike events.

Another, “Black Lodge 2600,” went so far as to base itself entirely on the closing moments of the “Twin Peaks” second season.
