I think if you were to travel back in time to around the 14th century to wherever Dante Alighieri was at the time, and showed him Hell Maiden, a roguelike, bullet hell, deckbuilding, '90s anime-esque, essentially fan fiction sequel to his Divine Comedy, he'd probably say something like "Mama mia" and die on the spot in fear of what his own creation spawn hundreds of years later. Yet as ridiculous a concept as it is - and it is ridiculous - the demo for it is quite good.
