FAITH: The Unholy Trinity Reviews

Love everything but the gameplay. Better off watching a letsplay

Genuinely such a well crafted game, the story is so fun to follow along. John Ward what is WRONG with you. I played the entire game with my girlfriend and we had a blast! The boss fights were so fun, and yes I will admit they frustrated me at times but truly I think that was a me issue because this game is a work of art in every sense of the meaning. Will never 100% this game because the game mode where you have to play the whole game in the dark terrifies me, the one section in the base game I closed my eyes and made my girlfriend play for me - genuinely frightening. Also the rotoscoping pixel art is so unique, the visuals in this game are one of a kind. Play Faith now!!! Gary Loves You :)

FAITH is a distinctive horror game that captures the essence of classic pixel-art titles while delivering a chilling and atmospheric experience rooted in religious horror and retro aesthetics. Developed by Airdorf Games, it stands out for its minimalist design and storytelling approach, using sparse visuals, eerie soundscapes, and psychological tension to create a uniquely unsettling environment. The game’s dedication to evoking the fear and unease of 1980s horror films, particularly those dealing with exorcisms and demonic possession, makes it a compelling experience for fans of old-school horror and pixel art. The gameplay in FAITH is deliberately simple, focusing on exploration and narrative progression rather than complex mechanics. Players control a priest tasked with investigating supernatural occurrences in a rural setting, and much of the tension arises from navigating dark, oppressive environments with limited visibility. The game cleverly uses limited color palettes and blocky pixel art to convey mood and horror, relying heavily on atmosphere and player imagination. This restraint allows players’ minds to fill in the gaps, often making the horror more personal and intense. One of the game’s most striking features is its use of sound and silence. The sparse, haunting soundtrack punctuates moments of quiet dread and sudden terror, while ambient noises—creaking floors, distant whispers, and unsettling howls—immerse players in an environment that feels alive with unseen threats. The sound design reinforces the game’s psychological horror theme, ensuring that players remain on edge as they progress through increasingly disturbing scenarios. Narratively, FAITH unfolds in a series of episodic chapters, each building upon the mystery of demonic forces and possession. The story is minimalist but evocative, using religious iconography, cryptic messages, and atmospheric cues to piece together a chilling tale. Players encounter possessed individuals, haunted locations, and the remnants of dark rituals, all contributing to a growing sense of dread and helplessness. This approach to storytelling respects the player’s intelligence, allowing them to interpret and theorize rather than spelling everything out explicitly. The game’s retro aesthetics not only pay homage to early computer horror games but also reinforce its themes of isolation and vulnerability. The pixelated graphics, combined with simple but effective animations, create an uncanny valley effect where the familiar becomes eerie. This stylistic choice adds to the immersive quality, making every shadow and flicker feel loaded with potential danger. The low-fi visuals also make the game accessible to a wide range of hardware, broadening its appeal. Despite its simplicity, FAITH offers a surprisingly rich and immersive horror experience that relies on psychological tension rather than jump scares or gore. Its design encourages players to slow down, observe, and absorb the unsettling atmosphere, which builds steadily to a crescendo of terror. The game challenges traditional horror tropes by blending spirituality and folklore with a minimalist, retro presentation, making it stand out in a crowded genre. In terms of difficulty, the game is relatively forgiving, focusing more on exploration and story than survival mechanics. This accessibility allows players to fully engage with the narrative and atmosphere without frustration. However, the emotional impact and eerie storytelling can be quite intense, making it a memorable experience for those who appreciate atmospheric horror. Overall, FAITH is a masterful example of how simplicity and atmosphere can combine to create a deeply unsettling horror game. Its retro pixel art, evocative sound design, and minimalist storytelling form a cohesive package that effectively channels the fears and anxieties of classic religious horror. For players seeking a unique, atmospheric, and thought-provoking horror experience that leans on psychological tension over flashy effects, FAITH is a haunting journey well worth undertaking. Rating: 9/10

You would genuinely think a game with a very minimalist art style like this wouldn't be that scary but its genuinely is one of the scariest games i have ever played.

Near Perfect Story, nostalgic graphics and sound, impressively done, and disturbing as hell!

A truly unpredictable haunting game. I could never truly know what was going to happen. The game thwarted me at every turn and battle. It was a struggle and it was beautiful. I may have died more times in this game than Elden Ring. 10/10

Really enjoyable. I tend to not get unnerved at all by psychological horror games and find them boring but this was different, the art style really added to it. One of my favourite games I've played on steam for sure.

I think that Faith is one of the most unique horror games out there. Its retro 8-bit visuals might look simple, but the atmosphere is deeply unsettling - think demonic glitches, distorted voices, and raw dread. The story unfolds through cryptic notes, eerie encounters, and chilling sound design. It's like playing a cursed VHS tape. Despite the minimalistic style, it's better than it looks. At first I wasn't convinced about playing this game, but it turned out to be extremely worth playing Who is faith the unholy trinity for? -Fans of retro-style horror -People who love creepy, psychological stories -Anyone into cults, demons, and cursed vibes -Players who prefer atmosphere over action Definitely not for those who want modern graphics

✝ A REVIEW WITH ONE BULLET ✝ • Unique atmosphere, decent scares, great story.

First, if Limited Run wanted to impress me they'd put this out on 5.25" floppy disks. Second, this game is fantastic. I'm old enough to appreciate the atmosphere this game puts out. The intentionally slow movement adds tension to certain moments and boss fights. Little details with the simplistic graphics can make you go wtf. Music really sets the mood. Faith truly has some of the most awful sounds I've heard in a game and that's a compliment. It all adds up to such a great vibe. As far as the story if you're into weird f'd up stuff then you'll like this game. Third, the true difficulty in this game isn't finishing it. It's finding everything. I think the final boss of chapter II was the most difficult fight in the game. The combat is simple, use your cross and don't get hit. It'll take a few deaths on some bosses to figure them out but I wouldn't call this a hard game. There's a lot to find with 99 notes through the three chapters, extras to unlock, and stuff I don't want to spoil. Overall I would've loved to play this back in the 80s on PC along with Classic Concentration and Leisure Suit Larry but having to wait until present day is just fine because it takes me back to those days at my friends house playing on the computer in the back room.
