Woah, this was a cool game and you have a trailer.
The graphics are awesome, I love the style and designs. The audio is super cool especially when it went with the spelling.
It got really hard really fast since I'm a slow typer.

What a cool concept. I wish I could see more siblings early on in the game so you can do family "sacrifice" :D

holy hell, this is so good! the visuals are stunning, the sound design is superb and i love the naturally increasing difficulty by just giving more and more difficult names

definitely a favorite of mine so far!

This graphics is amazing, there's even a trailer... Unfortunately, I type really really slow hahahaha XD The combination of this idea works so well that I can almost practice my English typing speed with this game.

Oh so cool! I love typing games ! Not so good at them though, haha! I liked the graphgics, that "drawing 3D" looks so good. An the sounds are fitting so well !

Athmosphere-wise, it reminds me a bit of Cult of the Lamb. Always love typing games. The art is... chef's kiss. So polished and pleasing to the eye.

Incredible game!

Incredible art, very well done.
Just a question, have you limited the framerate ? My GPU started running like crazy in the menu, this is tipically what happen when the framerate is not limited

stunning visuals, and a cool idea. I just feel like the difficulty curve to survive is pretty steep in the end - at least I've managed to get 45 souls ;)

@magnat we didn't limit the framerate!

@willhoit We'd love to have a web version but we used UE5 which doesn't have support to build games for HTML5, sorry

Oh man, this one is right on the nose! Absolutely on theme and an interesting (and well-executed) game all around! Very well done!

I managed to get 42 names - the full names got difficult faster than I thought haha. It feels like around the time you get more names per person the difficulty of the names go up too? Could just be me guessing though, I didn't do many runs.

I really like this game! Easy to pick up and challenging nonetheless; Cool 3D and visual style as well, it is well-polished overall; Could make the demon wave recharge its bar faster so it is more forgiving to players like me who're not that fast at typing :)

wow. WOW

Genius idea. Genius game mechanic. Genius subversion. Genius graphics + shader. Overall a genius idea for a gamejam game.

No feedback to give. Only kudos.

No ok, one feedback: make it WebGL. Downloading is annoying

38 souls down, really fun game. Loved how you start it by typing new game. Some of the names got complicated fast where people had first, middle, and last names (damn the french!) I loved that you were the thing trying to be summoned and you had to prevent people from unsummoning you. Very stylized graphics, loved the red blood font and everything. Great work, would love to see this expanded in some way.

Veeery full of style from the main menu. Love the art style and the gameplay is simple but hectic. Big fan of the transition from easy names to more complicated strings. Brilliant submission, great work!

Just amazing, 3d yet looks like drawing, short sharp sounds and of course the intro!
The only thing i can see that might be an issue is i get the time in the score screen as HH:MM:S not HH:MM:SS.
Top marks!
