This is the image of what happened when i type text

When I type some letters, the text keep appearing in the desktop, not inside
the game. I really need this to be fixed because some games I can't play.

Please update to either Wine 1.8.5 or Wine 1.9.24 and see if the issue goes
away :)

That looks like the IME composition window.  Aric may have some insight into
why that's happening.

Well, if the demo I linked to in comment 3 is the one you're trying to play,
then the problem is that you're trying to move the character with the WASD
keys, but in this game you use the arrow keys to move the character. I played a
little bit, and AFAICT, you don't type text anywhere in this game.

Does typing text in Wine's notepad work?

Yes, Wine's applications all work. But other apps won't work.

What apps have you tried, and are you sure they are meant to have text typed
into them? Underfell isn't.

Note you do need to upgrade Wine, as 1.8-rc4 is over a year old and no longer
supported, and since you're testing for a bug, it needs to be to the latest
development (not stable) release (currently 2.0-rc1).

It is strange that the composition window is coming up, even if text input is
not suppose to work.

Could you get me a +imm,+ime log so I can try to see why that is?

Is your keyboard in any non-english locale?
