❤ Blending Typing and Bullet-Hell

The Textorcist masterfully blends a typing game with a bullet-hell shooter, casting players as private exorcist Ray Bibbia. To defeat demonic bosses, you must type out exorcism prayers and chants while simultaneously dodging a barrage of enemy bullets and projectiles. This unusual combination of genres creates a challenging and engaging gameplay experience unlike any other.

❤ Precise Typing Under Pressure

Typing lies at the core of the gameplay, as you must accurately input the correct words, phrases, and Latin incantations that appear on the screen. The text becomes increasingly complex over the course of the game, with the developers sometimes reversing, scrambling, or obfuscating the words you need to type. Maintaining a high combo by typing without mistakes is essential for success.

❤ Divided Attention Mayhem

Alongside the typing, you must also navigate intense bullet-hell segments, weaving through intricate bullet patterns while keeping your eyes on the text you need to input. This dual-tasking of typing and dodging is the central challenge, forcing you to develop the ability to effectively split your attention between the keyboard and the screen in order to survive the onslaught of attacks.

❤ Diverse Boss Encounters

Each boss battle introduces unique mechanics and attack patterns that you must learn and adapt to. Some bosses may vomit on the screen, obscuring the typing text, while others scramble the letters or force you into a demon form where the typing mechanics change. This variety keeps the boss battles fresh and challenging, requiring you to think quickly and develop new strategies.

❤ Replayability and Progression

The Textorcist offers a good deal of replayability, with a boss rush mode and a hardcore variant that increases the difficulty. You can also unlock various items and upgrades that modify the gameplay in different ways, adding an element of customization and experimentation. Leaderboards and speedrunning provide additional incentives to hone your skills and push for higher scores.
