I played FAITH: The Unholy Trilogy recently based on a hearty recommendation from my friend and tastemaker James.
You play as a priest, one who finds himself embroiled in a plot of a demons and cults. Horror stuff that lives in the theatrical drama of Catholicism often tickles my fancy.
FAITH looks and controls like something I might have been able to play on the family Amstrad CPC in my childhood, though I suspect if I had I’d have been traumatised by the themes and scenes to this day.
In spite of (or maybe as a direct result of) FAITH’s simple look and feel it manages to be utterly unnerving at all times. Tension drips from every pixel. Low resolution characters and environments all but force your mind to fill in the blanks of the game’s unpleasant locales.
FAITH is cool as hell, and if you like incredibly spooky video game short stories you owe it to yourself to give it a try.
I played it on Switch, but it’s also available on PC via Steam or Itch.
