Extreme Exorcism is a NEStalgic take on ghost hunting — with shotguns

Shotguns didn’t feature much in The Exorcist.

Based on what we have seen of the upcoming action-platformer Extreme Exorcism, Golden Ruby Games looks to correct that. Mae Barrons is a paranormal exterminator with more in common with Rambo than any of the Ghostbusters. The departed don’t stay gone for long, however, as each new round has a ghastly soul recreating the moves the player made Mae take in the previous round. I shot a few emails back and forth with Golden Ruby president Mike Christatos, discussing the inspirations that created this more direct approach to spectral pest control.
