Faith follows a young priest back to a home where an apparent case of demonic possession left few alive a year before. Investigating these past events will dredge up horrific memories and even more unsettling beings, though, testing players' bravery through the horror title's incredible use of rotoscope, Spectrum-like visuals, and frightening sound.

The cross may not be enough for some of these creatures, requiring the player dig deep for answers in order to survive their presence.
