So bullet hell games are a classic part of gaming history, and - when you think about it - so are typing games, though one is often more fun than the other. But what happens when you combine the two? Well, apart from being hell of a unique elevator pitch, that’s what The Textorcist aims to find.

In it you play exorcist-at-large Ray Bibbia, as he dodges storm after storm of bullets, while also needing to type out demon-banishing passages from your holy book in order to fight evil. It’s all a little tongue in cheek, and as the game goes on difficulty ramps up - you’ll have to switch from typing in English to latin, so… I guess you could learn latin, too?
