In the game, players delve into the heart of the supernatural as they learn the trade of demonic exorcism and uncover secrets leading them towards a final confrontation with their darkest fears. The experience is part investigation…part exorcism…all horror and told through five chapters, each one featuring a unique demonic entity that will test player’s courage and resolve.
Following is some background information on Chapters 1 – 3, which will debut on the 19th. Chapters 4 - 5 are slated for release later in the summer.
- Chapter 1 - "First Rites" – Players must investigate the ritualistic murder of Father Bell, a priest at the local church. While there, they discover that he was researching the return of a cadre of very dangerous entities- the Legion. Collecting several of the priest’s arcane exorcism tools, it’s up to them to pick up where his work ended. Unfortunately, something, or someone, doesn’t want them to continue.
- Chapter 2 - "Idle Hands" - Explore what happens when people dabble in forces they don’t fully understand. Back at the police station, the player receives a package from a stranger directing them to investigate the sudden psychotic episode of an institutionalized school teacher who is tormented by an unseen force. The entity they encounter is as old as Babylon itself and is adept at using illusion to prevent them from severing its hold over its victim.
- Chapter 3 – “Skin Deep” - In this chapter players will encounter Abyzou, an entity who has been blamed for infant mortality throughout the history of civilization. Many cultures have encountered her and she has been given many names, from Lilith in Hebrew to Medusa in Greek. It's the player’s task to force her to reveal herself, protect a newborn baby and send her back from whence she came! Sounds easy? Not so much- she’s quite persuasive. We’ve been asked to explain the meaning behind the title, but we'll leave that for the player to discover.
