Ritus Exorcismus

Ritus Exorcismus is a story game in which you play a priest trained by the church to perform exorcisms. With an Exorcism Book and a case of Holy Relics, you travel from your Abbey to villages overwhelmed by demonic possessions and try to drive out the demons.

The villages

Each story chapter takes you to a different village, with its own scenarios and possessed villagers. Demons can also corrupt animals and the land, and you must deal with these as well as the possessed. Unique events can reward you with powerful relics that once belonged to saints and martyrs.

Identify demonic signs

The Book of exorcisms records demons and the signs they manifest in the possessed. You find the page that matches a current sign and choose the holy relic that counters the demon’s actions. As you gain experience, you become more familiar with the book.

Use and upgrade relics

You start with six holy relics: Crucifix, Blessed Candles, Holy Water, Anointing Oil, Incense and Salt. Each has its own minigame, which you must complete to counter a demonic sign. You may find additional relics as you travel, and these can have a decisive effect on minigames.

After you free a village from evil, its inhabitants give you offerings in gratitude. You can use these to upgrade your relics and gain an increasing advantage against the demons.

Choices and endings

Not every exorcism succeeds, and some souls may be lost. Your choices and the number of lost souls determine which ending you get.
