Faith: The Unholy Trinity a Wonderful Trilogy of Survival Games

Faith: The Unholy Trinity is a wonderful horror adventure game. It uses a simple art style, digitized voice, and a creepy story. It is very different from the games I usually play, and I like it quite a bit.

TLDR: Faith: The Unholy Trilogy is an entertaining point-and-click adventure game.

Narrative

This story has three parts. You can tackle them in any order, which I like quite a bit. I like the horror atmosphere and how creepy everything looks and sounds.

After looking this up, Faith is three games that make up a very fun story. It is creepy, and there are a ton of characters. You jump back and forth in the story, which can be confusing, but it is pretty good if you play it in order.

In the first chapter, you play as a priest and head to an abandoned house to deal with an evil spirit. As you chase away evil spirits, more of the story gets revealed to the player. It is a fun way to keep things moving.

The evil spirit is a child named Amy. This chapter sounds like the movie The Exorcist or at least one of the many knockoffs. It isn’t clear what happened right away, but as you explore the house, things make sense.

There are five possible endings to this chapter. It depends on what you shoot at the end of the chapter. Some will result in your death or something bad happening to your character:

• Amy – Arrested for Murder
• Deer – Killed by another Deer
• Fox Corpse – Possibly sacrificed by cultists
• Shadowy Figure – Killed by a Pale Monster
• Pale Monster – Good ending?

The second chapter has you play as Father Garcia. You’re trying to perform an exorcism on someone named Michael. This turns out to be the pale monster from the first chapter or another pale monster.

It then switches to John Ward and picks up a few weeks after the end of the first game. John is asked to help Father Garcia deal with a demonic invasion or attack. There are three endings in this game.

In the third chapter, the events occur over a few days in October. It has Father Garcia and John Ward dealing with a satanic cult. You’re trying to stop a demon named Malphas from being summoned during the Profane Sabbath.

The game offers several endings throughout the three chapters, depending on your choices. There is also an ending if you skipped the first two chapters and went straight to the third. I like this a lot, as it gives the trilogy some replay value.

I like the story. It reminds me of The Exorcist and other movies about demonic possession and satanic cults. Having the games take place in Connecticut is fantastic. The state has a long history of horror stories taking place there.  

The story is a lot of fun and seems inspired by classic horror movies. This is my impression of the game, not based on an interview with the developer. Playing this game and seeing how the story played out was fun.

Gameplay

The gameplay is okay. It feels like an Atari 2600 game where the only controls are moving your character around and using an action button. It works for this type of game, which is more about survival and less about combat.

Your primary weapon is a crucifix, which can be used to exorcise items and ward off monsters. You pick up some secondary items along the way, such as a gun, crowbar, and keys. This makes the game feel like an adventure game from the 1980s.

You’re going to die a lot in this game. Don’t worry; you’ll start over at the beginning of the puzzle or scene when you die. This is similar to other adventure games from the 1980s, particularly the Sierra Online games.

The gameplay is minimal, but it is fine and works well for this type of game. It feels like an old-school point-and-click adventure game or an early survival game. It might take some time to get used to it, but the games are a lot of fun.

Visuals

The graphics were inspired by games from the late 1970s and early 1980s. When I first started playing, I thought it looked like an Atari 2600 game. I don’t have much experience with computers from this period, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this game looked similar to those.

The game has some cutscenes, and they look fantastic! They look like rotoscopes or something similar. I love the cutscenes in Faith. They are one of the best parts of the game.

I like the retro art style of this game. It is a wonderful-looking game, especially when the cutscenes take place. The simplistic graphics work well for this type of game, and I love how creepy the cutscenes look.

8.5/10. The trilogy of games is very good. The graphics and cutscenes are outstanding, the controls are great, and I love the story across these games.

Pros

• Great Cutscenes
• Good Controls
• Wonderful Story

Cons

Conclusion

Faith: The Unholy Trilogy is a wonderful series of survival adventure games. The story reminds me of several horror movies and what happened during the satanic panic in the 1980s. It is fun to see developers take themes from the past and turn them into enjoyable stories.

I like to see games like this. They’ve become some of my favorite video games in the last several years. This series is up there with Varney Lake and Mothmen 1966.
