Ouija Boy: What's My Name? by VaustXIII
You have summoned a demon! But you forgot rule 2 of demon summoning: if you want them to obey, you have to know their name. Luckily your sister's Ouija board has just what you need to try and guess the name. Be quick! The candle protecting you will not last much longer...
HOW TO PLAY
GOAL: Guess the demon's name before the candle burns out.
Type any existing word (for example, "Interest") and hit Enter!
If the demon's name starts with the same letter (or letters) as the word you typed, these letters will be highlighted green in the middle of the screen (for example, "I", "N")
Next, you need to make new words starting with these green letters (in this example, "Index", "Interior", "Infinity" etc.) until you unlock all green letters or guess the whole word (in this example, "Inferno")
Once you guess the demon's name in time, you WIN!
Otherwise, the demon takes your soul...
Good luck!
Pro tip: when you have almost got it - try all forms of the word. For example: sin, sins, sinned, sinning, sinful, sinfully, sinless etc. Those demons are quite cunning...

@aameliebernardd @thekatmol yeah that's the thing about word games they definitely need translation/localization, unfortunately we didn't have enough time for it. Maybe post-jam version...
Though, it is quite difficult for me (not native). Perhaps adding more hints and clues and some constraints on words and spelling would help.
The graphics and sound go well together for this type of game.
English is not my mother tongue and my vocabulary is very limited... I wasn't able to fully enjoy the game.
But I really enjoyed the rest of it, well done!
