A 93 average that almost nobody knows about — yet. Horror that commits — its own thing atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. A single-player game with no interest in being anything else. Respect.

About this game

Faith is a pixel horror game inspired by the era of MS-DOS, Apple II, Atari, and ZX Spectrum classics. Forget blue-and-pink neon. The 1980s were scary. No Internet, it was hard to reach you if you weren't home, and the U.S. was engrossed in the “Satanic Scare” which fueled widespread paranoia about devil-worshiping, witchcraft, and occult practices.

On September 21, 1986, two priests arrived at the Martin Family home in rural Connecticut to investigate an apparent case of demonic possession. Only two people would leave the house alive. Haunted by nightmares and searching for answers, a young priest travels down a dark highway to return to the cursed house a year later.
