Headup and Morbidware have announced that The Textorcist will be available to download through Steam on February 14.
The Textorcist looks like your typical twin-stick shooter, but instead of wielding guns or melee weapons, players will be required to type out the necessary spells (one letter at a time) to banish demons from the Earthly plane as they dodge a relentless barrage of hellfire.
Your mission is to rid the world of every evil spirit and send them back to hell. You banish them by typing out the (un)holy passages from his exorcism book, down to the last letter.
Any spelling mistake you make will set you back; but to make things really interesting you also have to dodge your enemies’ relentless bullet barrage at the same time. Welcome to (Bullet) Hell! But obviously this is still not enough of a challenge for you, which is why later on in the game the texts will be in Latin, as is proper for such a (un)holy man of the church as Ray Bibbia.
Don’t worry, if all this sounds like too much of a challenge, a controller-based “Rhythm Mode” will also be included in The Textorcist. And in case you missed it, be sure to check out the game’s Announcement Trailer from back in November.
