Forgive Me Father

Forgive Me Father is a first-person shooter in which you play as the only person left with their full senses. You search a Lovecraft-inspired world for answers and relief, exploring hidden and hard-to-reach areas to uncover the story and solve the mystery of the place. The game uses hand-drawn graphics in a retro horror comic-book style, with 2D elements and animations set in 3D environments.

Two heroes

You can experience the story as either a priest or a journalist. Each has a unique development tree.

Fight and evolve

Combat draws on classic 1990s first-person shooters: you face numerous opponents in dynamic fights using non-reloading weapons, first-aid kits, life points and power-ups. You wield scripture in one hand and weapons powered by an unknown substance in the other, choosing how your equipment evolves and how to overcome unpredictable hordes.

Your madness level changes dynamically during gameplay and gives you additional power. It affects both the audio-visual presentation and gameplay, with effects that vary according to your current level of madness. You can also choose active skills to suit your play style.

The world and its enemies

The hand-made levels contain hidden and hard-to-reach areas, and the varied bestiary ranges from possessed inhabitants to monsters. Occult forces and eternal evil shape a world of dread, hopelessness, madness and confusion, where you search for answers and a way to restore some semblance of reason and sanity.
