  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received criticism for being unappealing and for the lack of an option to mute it independently, forcing players to mute the entire game instead.

    • “There's plenty of these available for free; the only thing you'd be missing is a background, music, and a different text font.”
    • “You also can't turn the music off; if you want to turn the music off, you have to mute the whole game.”
    • “If the developer fixes these issues, I would be glad to recommend the game, even with the lousy music and background graphics.”
    • “The minor thing which I wish the game had: a setting to mute the sound or music.”

  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for being inconsistent and frustrating, with users noting issues like "stucky" controls and a lack of progressive difficulty across the three available levels. Additionally, the short five-minute gameplay experience does not provide a comprehensive impression of the game.

    • “5 minute gameplay so you get a good impression of the game.”
    • “As for gameplay, there are 3 difficulties and they don't get progressively harder or faster.”
  • replayability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has limited replayability due to the absence of additional game modes, despite features like leaderboards that encourage players to return. Overall, while there are incentives to replay, the lack of variety diminishes the experience.

    • “No other game modes, so the game has limited replayability.”
    • “Leaderboards and everything encourage replayability, but it's lacking variety.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Pretty buggy.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for its lack of direction and purpose, with players noting that it presents a series of words without any clear mission or objective, resulting in a disjointed and unengaging narrative experience.

    • “I didn't find any major bugs in the game, and the keyboard controls have always been responsive, but really this game lacks everything. It's just some weird unchangeable font proposing you tons of different words without a mission or an objective to achieve, apart from a change in the speed of the falling words themselves.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in "The Textorcist" is noted as amusing and entertaining, though it doesn't reach the same level of comedic impact as "The Typing of the Dead," which combines horror elements with humor effectively. Overall, both games offer a fun experience, with "The Typing of the Dead" being particularly recommended for its unique blend of typing and scare tactics.

    • “If you want to play a fun typing game, try these two: 1- The Typing of the Dead, which I highly recommend as it's exactly like the gun shooter version but with typing and quite scary, and 2- The Textorcist, which I've played a couple of levels of so far and is pretty funny and not bad, but not in the same league as the first game I mentioned.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy employed by Mikhail Melnikov has been criticized for being unethical, as it involves repeatedly releasing others' work on Steam as a low-effort cash grab. This approach has led to negative perceptions of the game's value and integrity.

    • “Mikhail Melnikov has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is initially engaging, allowing players to immerse themselves in the environment; however, this enjoyment is short-lived as the gameplay prioritizes aesthetics over functionality, diminishing the overall experience.
