The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia
Description
Get ready for an electrifying mix between a bullet hell and a typing game! Dodge bullets while typing exorcisms at the very same time: turn on both sides of your brain and jump into the adventure of Ray Bibbia, a private exorcist who's going to face the threats of a demonic outbreak and deal with his dark and sinful past at the same time! A city in decay, streets filled with thugs, crime and censorship and only one man to stop it all. Groundbreaking gameplay, exorcists, demons, metal singers, pimps, the Pope, drama, bad jokes and tons of hardcore action-filled boss battles for the first type ‘em up game ever realized.
A TYPING EXPERIENCE: In order to defeat the forces of evil, learn how to type your exorcisms with your keyboard or with your joypad WHILE dodging tons of bullets, dealing with puddles of barf, defusing bombs, singing at the mic of a metal show and more during intense Boss Battles: easier said than done. Hold your Bible tight, both hands needed!
THE CITY: Rome is the theatre of our adventure, discover new locations and fight in one of the biggest metropolis in history, home of some of the craziest characters and enemies! Behind a demonic outbreak, unearthly forces are scheming to seize power and subvert the order of the the biggest religious organization in Rome: The Holy Church has reached unlimited powers over the streets of the city, but how can our protagonist be sure of their good deeds? Unravel the demonic plot aimed to overturn the order in the city and put together the pieces of the dark past behind Ray Bibbia!
THE CAST: From Goth maids to gun-crazed gangsters and the Pope himself, Ray will get his hands dirty by exploring a great variety of locations to solve a mystery that’s going to grow heavier as it takes shape. Who’s gonna turn out to be a friend and who’s gonna stab Ray behind his back?
Are you a fast typer? Can you read and spell Latin while you dodge bullets? THIS is the game you're looking for! Real exorcisms, English, Latin, and more! Avoid making mistakes and reach the highest combo! Compete with your friends by spelling the “perfect exorcism” and compare with their scores on online leaderboards!

8/10
The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia takes its portmanteau of a title and develops it into a refreshingly original and enjoyable blend of typing games and bullet hell boss rushes. It's also a clear love letter to the horror staples of the 1980s and affectionately captures the look and feel of that era. The result is simultaneously divine and devilish.

8.5/10
The Textorcist is a punishing, brutally difficult game that feels so good to finally conquer. A truly unique and engaging combat system accompanied by great music make this a memorable experience

Cool Idea, but Stumbles in Excecution
There's a fundemental problem in it's premise: you need to move to dodge bullets, but you can't* type while moving. I think the devs have done the best they can with the control scheme, but it still doesn't work very well. Unless you want to jump positions between your letters and the arrow keys, you need to hold shift to move with wasd, but doing so locks up your left hand and breaks the flow of typing. You scramble out a word, stop, get another few letters in, stop, but are never given enough space to enter that flow state of typing. The whole charade works, but you're also probably going to need to 'get good', and grinding away at such a flawed system wears away the charm. By the end, I just wanted to get it over with, it just stopped being very fun. The game isn't very big on its story as a whole, but I'm still massivly dissapointed in how they handle the setting. The art is technically sound, but the aesthetic is ugly regardless. Its overall grungyness takes precedent over good worldbuilding and well-thought out themes in its presentation. There's very little reason for this game to take place in Rome or take on the Christian themes at all. The Textorcist cooked together fish and chocolate. It's cool that they managed it, but it's not going taste that good no matter how you cook it.
