You play Ray Bibbia, a private exorcist working in a demon-struck Rome. As he takes on supernatural cases, he investigates a larger plot and the secrets of his past.
Boss fights combine typing and bullet-hell dodging: enter exorcisms letter by letter while moving through enemy fire. Getting hit makes Ray drop his Bible, which he must retrieve to continue. Encounters can add extra tasks, such as defusing bombs, and you can play with a keyboard or a gamepad.
Missions lead through different locations and boss battles, with story scenes between encounters. Completing fights unlocks trinkets, while Boss Rush and harder boss modes offer further challenges; online leaderboards let players compare scores.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its unusual blend of typing and bullet-hell action, the satisfaction of mastering demanding fights, and its soundtrack and pixel-art style. Some also appreciate the campy humor and unfolding story. Other reviewers find the simultaneous typing and dodging awkward or too difficult, especially in later battles.
