Viy

Viy is a first-person horror shooter about performing an exorcism to save the soul of a landowner’s daughter, who died under mysterious circumstances and was said to have been friendly with evil forces. At her request, you must recite prayers for the dead over three nights in a church, while fighting the forces of darkness.

Prepare for the church

Before going to the church, you must find the items needed for the ritual. The game takes place across a large map with settlements and secret locations containing useful supplies. You can collect weapons, equipment for them and other items to help complete the mission; a power engineer helps you travel quickly around the map.

Perform the ritual

To begin, draw a holy circle for protection, light four candles and read a prayer. As you recite the prayers, the souls of the evil dead seep into the world under the control of evil forces. After you recite one of the prayers, Viy appears. He is an evil force that rises from the underworld and represents death; he is a guide, not a killer, and his appearance means he has come for you.

Find the book parts

Collect all the parts of a book to get the key to a house containing new weapons and other items.

Multiplayer

You can play with friends by connecting to one of 13 servers in different regions. Multiplayer lets you play as a monster or a hunter. In a match with 10 players, three are monsters; a monster can take a hunter’s soul, turning that hunter into a monster.
