The Textorcist teaches combat typing skills in a pre-launch demo

I consider myself a decent typist, and better yet at dodging bullets in shmups. Today’s demo for The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia taught me a painful lesson: I am ill-equipped to do both at once. Due out on this week on February 14th, players control exorcist-for-hire Ray Bibbia with the arrow keys, dodging bullets as you would in any bullet hell shmup. Unlike other shooters, to fire back you need to type reams of scripture one-handed, splitting attention and motor control multiple ways. It’s intense, but fun. Give it a try here on Steam, and check out the launch trailer below.
