Forgive Me Father 2 sees players once again journey into a malevolent world inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, where madness never sleeps.

Forgive Me Father 2 sees players once again journey into a malevolent world inspired by the works of H.P Lovecraft, where madness never sleeps. The action continues the story of the Priest from the first instalment as he descends into his darkest nightmares on a path to righteous salvation. 

Players will be driven to the brink of insanity as they take on hordes of deranged cultists and diverse, eldritch enemies using a vast and varied arsenal of deadly weapons - each featuring powerful variations designed to cause absolute mayhem and wreak utter destruction. A freshly re-imagined and expanded madness system ratchets up the action even further, bestowing unimaginable power to those who choose to fully embrace insanity.

Forgive Me Father 2 elevates the unique and distinctive, dark comic-like visuals of the original game with improved sprites and models. Players will behold satisfyingly juicy blood effects and bear witness to eye-popping animated gibs that fly in all directions, as unimaginable ancient evils are torn asunder. The action is underpinned by a heart-pumping soundtrack that effortlessly blends dark Lovecraftian undertones and atmospherics with face-melting guitars and chest-thumping drums.


Forgive Me Father 2 is now available through Early Access (Steam / Epic Games Store) for $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99.

The Early Access release of Forgive Me Father 2 includes 10 nightmarish levels, spread across a variety of dread-inducing locales as they continue the story of the Priest from the critically acclaimed first instalment. Prepare to hold up the Dark Tome and a wide arsenal of 10 unique weapons against the terror of the Great Old Ones, as they distort the protagonist’s memories and create an intense fight for survival against the hordes of the undead and other Lovecraftian abominations.

Fulqrum Publishing and Byte Barrel have revealed the initial roadmap ahead for its retro-styled Lovecraftian shooter.

They said: “The first weekend since the insanity of Forgive Me Father 2 hit Early Access and you've had a chance to try the game properly - and we would like to thank everyone who already played the game and gave us their feedback.”

Fulqrum and Byte Barrel stated that the roadmap is a brief outline, and are inviting players to provide feedback. Whilst the timing of each content update is unconfirmed at this stage, they are planning for the first one to come early next year, in February or March 2024.

They also clarified that, whilst the roadmap only lists 3 Content Updates so far, it definitely does NOT mean there will not be any fixes and patches besides that - in fact, the developer is already working on a small bug fix update patch.

Key Features:

  • Distinctive dark comic-like visuals: Dark hand-drawn graphic design where every frame looks like a page from a comic book is one of the pillars of Forgive Me Father, and the sequel brings a fresh perspective to its unique style with improved sprites and models. Prepare to feast your eyes on juicy blood effects and animated gibs flying everywhere!
  • Dive into the madness: Defeat Lovecraftian nightmares with a wide range of weapons. Fight hosts of diverse, formidable enemies and beware: each and every one of them evolves into different, ever more evil and twisted forms of themselves.
  • Gear up and fight!: Define your own playstyle and assemble the deadliest arsenal with plenty of weapons to choose from, each with even more powerful variations designed to cause absolute mayhem and bring utter destruction upon your foes. Take your pick from devastating shotguns, lethally accurate rifles, explosive firearms, and unleash their full potential.
  • Dynamic madness system: Overwhelming madness is your best friend and worst enemy at the same time. Embrace the insanity and become more powerful with a dynamic power-up system. Strengthen yourself by picking new unlocks along the way and blast through hordes of enemies with wild abandon!
  • Original soundtrack: Experience the surprisingly fitting combination of strong electric guitar riffs and energetic drums underscoring the dark Lovecraftian atmosphere. Slay hordes of deranged cultists and confront unimaginable ancient evil while listening to the original soundtrack that will make you headbang for hours on end.

Forgive Me Father 2 is in development for PC (SteamEpic Games Store).
