About This Game
You're a renegade ex-priest who has abandoned the cassock to wield shotguns and occult rituals. Armed with corrupted faith and the occult, you face lost souls in search of redemption or revenge. A survival horror game inspired by the real-life atrocities of the Colony Hospital in Barbacena (Brazil).
Detailed Description
“An ex-priest who shoots demons with an 12-gauge and has a cross that exorcises possessed people”
Storyline
You are an ex-priest who needs to find his faith again and face dangers on this journey. You control Pedro, the main character of the plot. In this adventure you need to exorcise demons, kill monsters and face dangers from the afterlife, using specific weapons for each type of enemy. The cross exorcises demons, the pistol kills weak monsters and the shotgun (12-gauge) shoots blessed bullets to send the demons back to hell in the most brutal style!
Psychiatric Hospital - "Barbacena" Colony (Minas Gerais/Brazil):
The game is based on a real location in Brazil during an extremely dark period: the "Colônia de Barbacena" (in the state of Minas Gerais). It is estimated that around 70% of the patients were undiagnosed with any kind of mental illness. What happened in the hospital has come to be called the “Brazilian Holocaust”. It is estimated that at least 60,000 people died in the Barbacena Colony Hospital (source: Wikipedia).

Main features:
Dark and surreal visuals
Dive into a semi-realistic atmosphere of fear and unease, created by a fusion of the real world and the “other side”.
Atmospheric sounds
The game uses stereo sound for better immersion. Noises, screams, groans, footsteps... everything can be considered an immersive experience!
Puzzles, kicking down doors and more!
Why open a door using a key when you can open it by sitting on it? Or by running towards it and kicking it? Enter the world and act as you wish, open with the key or with your foot. Face dark and challenging puzzles. Drag furniture around to find secret passages. Use Luminol reagent to find hidden blood trails and unravel mysteries.
Scary encounters
Face various supernatural entities such as monsters, demons and possessed people, each with their own unique appearance and behavior, which reflect the fears and traumas of these characters while alive.
Evolving narrative
The game is based on a real location in Brazil, the Hospital Colônia de Barbacena. The narrative is based on the horrors experienced by patients during the hospital's operation in the 80s.
“You can lose a battle, you can lose hope, even your strength, but you can never lose faith!”
