Synopsis

Chapter I

The story focuses on a priest, named John Ward, who goes back to a house where an exorcism of a girl named Amy Martin went wrong a year ago. There are a total of 5 different endings. The current date at the beginning of the game is September 21, 1987.

Chapter II

The second chapter's story focuses on two priests named John Ward and Father Garcia. The chapter starts with Father Garcia trying to perform an exorcism on a character named Michael, but fails. The chapter then transitions to a forest where the player controls John Ward.

Chapter III (Demo)

The third chapter's story is focused on John Ward. John Ward is spawned in an apartment complex and has to find a character named Lisa. (Because the 3rd game is still only a demo, this info may change in the future.)

Gameplay

Users control a character, John Ward, and carry a crucifix that they can use to ward off evil beings.

Release

The first chapter in the series, Faith: Chapter I, was released on itch.io in 2017, followed by a release to Steam in 2019.[3] The second chapter was released in February 2019.[4] As of September 2020, there is no release date for the third chapter.[5]

Reception

Reception for Faith has been positive.[6][7] Rock Paper Shotgun's Noa Smith called the game "one of those little treasures you stumble across on your monthly horror binge."[8] A journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle's Datebook praised the use of retro graphics, writing that "The sudden acceleration into full motion from jerky two-frame animation is jarring enough for a jump scare but still empty enough that players are forced to ask what it is that is attacking them."[9] It was included in IGN's 18 Best Horror Games of 2017.[10]
