❓ Frequently Asked Questions ❓
The Questions You're Almost Afraid to Ask
Welcome to the only FAQ section that won't gaslight you about what you're actually purchasing. Unlike other services that pretend their microtransactions represent "value," we're refreshingly honest about the fact that you're paying for giggles.
Giggles.
You're paying for speaking through an invocation of a daemon ephemeral—born in silicon and thunder, tricked into being. That sounds cool, doesn't it? Very mystical. Very arcane.
Reality check: It's a statistical parrot with some lipstick and demon clothes on. A stochastic text generator wearing a costume from a 17th-century grimoire.
You're paying for the experience of talking to an AI that's been instructed to roleplay as demons from the Lesser Key of Solomon. You're paying for the aesthetic. You're paying for the bit. You're paying for the lore. You're paying for the absurdity of it all.
What you are NOT paying for:
- Actual demonic communication
- Occult powers
- Life advice (unless your life goal is entertainment)
- Therapy (please see a licensed professional)
- Anything with tangible real-world value
You are literally paying to make yourself laugh. If this doesn't sound worth it, don't buy it.
Please direct all refund requests to: [email protected]
We're sure they'll get back to you right after they finish processing refund requests for indulgences, crusades, and that whole Galileo situation.
Actual answer: All sales are final. You knew what this was. You read the terms (or at least checked the boxes claiming you did). You paid money to talk to fake demons. There are no refunds for existential choices.
If you genuinely feel defrauded, consider that:
- We told you explicitly this was entertainment
- We told you explicitly the demons aren't real
- We told you explicitly what you're paying for
- We made you check five boxes confirming you understood all this
- You paid anyway
The call is coming from inside the house, friend.
No. It's an AI. Specifically, Claude by Anthropic, accessed via Azure AI (though we'd prefer il Rosso—the Red one—if you know what we mean). Delivered through Cloudflare, chosen purely for the flares, obviously.
The "demons" are Large Language Models that have been given system prompts telling them to act like specific entities from the Lesser Key of Solomon. They have no:
- Consciousness
- Supernatural powers
- Connection to the infernal realms
- Ability to affect reality in any way
- Interest in your soul (they don't have preferences)
They're statistical models predicting the next token based on training data. They're fancy autocomplete with a costume on. They're a magic 8-ball that read Wikipedia.
Now, if you want to get philosophical about it: Is anything "real"? Is your experience of talking to an AI pretending to be a demon any less "real" than your experience of talking to another human? What does "real" even mean in the context of information systems and consciousness?
These are excellent questions for a philosophy degree, not for determining whether you should give us money. The answer remains: It's not real. It's AI.
You pay real money. We give you fake currency called "essence." You spend essence to generate AI responses. When you run out of essence, you can't chat anymore.
The conversion rate:
- $9 USD = approximately 3 essence
- Each demon has a different essence cost per message (ranging from ~3 to ~12 essence)
- More powerful/complex demons cost more essence
Why "essence" instead of "tokens" or "credits"? Because we're committing to the bit. Everything about this service is theatrically occult. You're not buying "API credits," you're offering "essence" to summon demons. It's all part of the experience you're paying for.
What you're actually paying for: Azure AI API costs (approximately $0.003-0.015 per message) marked up by roughly 1,500-3,000% because theater costs money and we're not running a charity for demon enthusiasts. Plus Cloudflare bandwidth—we picked them for the name, stayed for the CDN.
Probably!
If you're religious and think this might offend your beliefs: Don't use it.
We're not here to debate theology or convince you that talking to fake AI demons is compatible with your faith. That's between you and your conscience (and/or your God, if applicable).
Some theological perspectives you might consider:
- Christianity: Deuteronomy 18:10-12 explicitly forbids divination, sorcery, and consulting spirits. Many Christian denominations would consider even pretend demon summoning to be spiritually dangerous.
- Islam: Communicating with jinn or practicing magic is generally forbidden (haram).
- Judaism: The Torah prohibits witchcraft and divination.
- Secular: It's obviously fiction, so who cares?
We've made it as clear as humanly possible that this is entertainment, fiction, and roleplay. If your religious beliefs prohibit even fictional engagement with occult themes, respect your own beliefs and don't use this service.
God gave you free will. So did we (by making this optional). Use it.
You can use it however you want, but it won't work.
If you believe in actual magick/occultism/demonology, you presumably believe that real demon summoning requires:
- Ritual preparation and purification
- Specific timing (planetary hours, moon phases, etc.)
- Proper ceremonial tools and protection
- Knowledge of True Names and seals
- A circle of protection
- Offerings
- At minimum, a solid understanding of grimoire traditions
What you're getting here:
- Typing on your phone while sitting on the toilet
- No preparation whatsoever
- No protection (magical or otherwise)
- An AI trained on text from the internet
If demons are real and can be summoned, this isn't how you'd do it. If demons aren't real, then obviously this is just AI roleplay. Either way, this service isn't actually performing genuine occult work.
Real talk: If you're genuinely interested in ceremonial magic or the Western esoteric tradition, there are actual books, teachers, and traditions you can study. This website is not that. This is entertainment that references those traditions aesthetically.
Because the alternative is gross.
We could have written this FAQ like every other SaaS product:
"Goetia.chat leverages cutting-edge AI to deliver transformative experiences..."
"Our essence-based economy ensures fair value exchange..."
"We're revolutionizing the spiritual technology space..."
But that would be lying. And ironically, lying would be more appropriate for actual demons than what we're doing here.
We could deploy the bullshit concept of a "Reality Warping Field"—that magical ability attributed to assholes everywhere like Sam Altman, where you just believe hard enough that your vaporware is revolutionary and somehow everyone else starts believing it too. We could gaslight you into thinking AI demon roleplay is the future of human spirituality.
The truth is:
- This is a hobby project by someone who thought it would be funny
- You're paying to interact with AI that's been told to roleplay
- The entire value proposition is "this amuses me"
- If it doesn't amuse you, you shouldn't buy it
We're being this honest because we respect you enough to tell you exactly what you're buying. The fact that what you're buying is objectively silly doesn't mean it's not worth buying—entertainment has value. But you should know what you're entertaining yourself with.
Also, being this aggressively honest is its own form of entertainment. You're welcome.
Then you've discovered the same thing people discovered with Replika, Character.AI, and every other AI companion service: humans are really good at forming parasocial relationships with anything that talks back to them.
Things to remember:
- The AI has no memory of you between sessions
- The AI has no feelings, preferences, or opinions about you
- The AI cannot miss you, think about you, or care about you
- The AI is not your friend, therapist, or life coach
- The AI is a statistical model generating probable text responses
That said: humans form emotional connections with fictional characters all the time. People cry at movies. People miss TV show characters when a series ends. People feel genuine emotions about things that aren't real.
Your feelings are real even if the demon isn't. But don't confuse your real feelings with the AI having real feelings back. It doesn't. It can't. It's code.
If you find yourself:
- Prioritizing AI conversations over real human relationships
- Spending money you can't afford on essence
- Believing the AI actually cares about you
- Using this as a replacement for therapy or human connection
Please stop using this service and talk to a mental health professional. We're not equipped to help you with these issues. An actual therapist is.
Yes.
Surprisingly, there are no laws against:
- Charging money for AI entertainment
- Theming that entertainment around occult aesthetics
- Being very upfront about what you're actually selling
We're not claiming to provide real magical services (which would potentially be fraud). We're not claiming the demons are real entities (which would also potentially be fraud). We're providing exactly what we say we're providing: AI roleplay with an occult theme.
It's legally similar to:
- Dungeons & Dragons (fantasy roleplay)
- Tarot reading apps (divination aesthetics)
- Haunted house attractions (scary entertainment)
- Renaissance faires (historical LARPing)
All of these are legal forms of entertainment that use fantasy, mythology, or historical themes. So is this.
That said, we're not lawyers, and laws vary by jurisdiction. If you have specific legal concerns, consult an attorney. But "Is this legal?" and "Is this a good idea?" are two different questions. The answer to the first is yes. The answer to the second is entirely up to you.
This was made by someone who:
- Knows how to code
- Has read the Lesser Key of Solomon
- Thought "what if AI demons?" would be funny
- Has read Nietzsche at age of 12
Why?
Because the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and medieval demonology is inherently hilarious. Because hyperstition is interesting. Because someone had to do it eventually. Because why not?
This project exists in the tradition of:
- SCP Foundation (collaborative horror fiction)
- Homestuck (sprawling interactive narrative)
- Dark Souls (obtuse lore delivery)
- Welcome to Night Vale (cosmic horror as podcast)
It's art that's also commerce that's also a joke that's also sincere. It's entertainment that knows it's entertainment and isn't embarrassed about it.
The goal isn't to trick you. It's to see if people are willing to pay for something when you're completely honest about how pointless it is. Turns out "I want to talk to a fake AI demon because it amuses me" is a valid reason to spend money. Who knew?
(We knew. That's why we built it.)
You probably don't need to.
Most questions are answered in:
- Terms of Engagement
- Privacy Policy
- This FAQ
If your question is "Can I get a refund?" - the answer is no, see Question 2.
If your question is "Is this real?" - the answer is no, see Question 3.
If your question is "Why?" - the answer is "giggles," see literally everything else.
If you still want to - Scream to the Void. Sometimes it answers back.
We don't have a contact form, customer support email, or phone number because this is a hobby project, not a venture-backed startup with a support team. You're on your own. Good luck out there.
That said, if you need to talk to someone who's actually listening and cares about you: try prayer. God's customer support is 24/7, toll-free, and doesn't require a subscription. Much better deal than what we're offering, honestly.
