Headup Games have announced a new bullet hell shooter with typing mechanics- The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibba.
Developed by Morbidware games and set for a Windows PC (via Steam) release in Q1 2019, players need to dodge shots from demons and evil spirits while attempting to exorcise them by typing out holy scripture.

Here are the first screenshots:
