FAITH was a free Retraux indie Religious Horror game about Demonic Possession and Hollywood Exorcism. It was developed and published by Airdorf Games and released in 2017.Connecticut, 1986. Amy, the daughter of the Martin family, has been acting strangely, and her parents fear that she might be possessed by a demon. To save her, they turn to the Catholic Church, who send a pair of exorcists, Father Allred and John Thomas Ward, to investigate the case, and if necessary, exorcise Amy.It ends badly.One year later, Ward, the Sole Survivor, returns to the house. His goal: to put an end to the horror he failed to stop. What might otherwise be a simple exorcism, however, becomes a life-threatening nightmare, and Ward must search for answers while braving the wrath of a demonic presence, all to save a single soul... or so it seems.Gameplay has you navigating throughout the Martin household and surrounding forest, collecting notes that reveal the backstory and keys to open locked doors. John's only means of defense is a crucifix he holds in his hand — deploy it in whichever direction you hold it in and it will repel any demonic entity coming your way. It will also harm the various bosses you will encounter. But you will need to stand still for it to work, so be sure you aren't leaving yourself vulnerable.A sequel, FAITH: Chapter II, was released in February 2019. Trailer. Weeks after his return to the Martin house, John has traveled to Gallup Cemetery to investigate suspicious activity, and finds things relating to activities of a Satanic cult, the Eternal Order of the Second Death, who seem to be connected to Amy Martin. John finds himself having to exorcise another woman, Sister Miriam Bell, who is haunting the nearby church.The demo for a third Chapter was released in Halloween 2019, and released as part of a bundle with the previous two games on October 21, 2022. The bundle, Faith: The Unholy Trinity, can be purchased via Steam, and was published by New Blood Interactive, where one can download the first game and demos for the sequels. Halloween is approaching, and John has gotten a letter from Father Garcia that the Eternal Order intends to summon a powerful demon, Malphas. John must travel around the city to discover where the summoning will take place and thwart it, coming face-to-face with cult leader Gary Miller and learning the truth linking everything together.

A different Game Over screen can appear on the way to the secret third ending in Chapter II. While John is transformed into a demon and on top of the overpass to kill the two bystanders, the player can get ran over by the Airdorf truck that strolls by without warning. Instead of the standard MORTIS screen, the player is greeted with a huge red splatter, followed by an untelligible voice and a distorted foreboding sound. It may catch any curious player off-guard.

You must also do this to achieve the secret ending in the Chapter II demo, setting a scarecrow on fire this time. It's not as obvious, as the burning car and the scarecrow are two screens apart, so the timing is a lot tighter. Also, unlike in Chapter III, John doesn't survive this one. Maybe.

Antepiece: In Chapter III, the player goes through a scripted event where John gets possessed by a demon and starts moving on his own in random directions, seemingly serving no purpose other than to have a Jump Scare. This mechanic makes a return in the demo's Final Boss battle, and a pop up reading "FIGHT IT, JOHN" appears when the possession happens again just in case it wasn't obvious what happened the first time, as John now has to prevent himself from killing Lisa.

Unexpected Gameplay Change
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_1467a30c
comment
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The core mechanics, your slow movements and exorcising with the cross are all the same, but the closure and Final Boss to Chapter III invoke more of a Bullet Hell shoot-em-up game as Gary throws patterns of attacks your way. If you're on the path for the Golden Ending, the True Final Boss might as well be a near-literal bullet hell that fills the screen with attacks, and only an 11th-Hour Superpower of not dying (immediately) from the attacks by God's blessings gives John a chance.

Nuns Are Spooky
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_17d55c6e
comment
Nuns Are Spooky: The final boss of Chapter II is a nun who, according to local folklore, tortured children. Or at least, is something taking the shape of that nun. The Chapter II demo specifies her as Sister Bell, with notes waking more than just a few hints on her maybe being the Bell Witch. One of the notes found in Chapter III confirms she underwent Second Death, letting herself be used as a portal through which infants were thrown into Hell as a sacrifice, resulting in infant Gary eventually emerging from said portal. He even flat-out refers to her as his mother at one point. Rather creepy paintings featuring her can be found in the cult's lair underneath the daycare.

Redemption Quest
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_188668f2
comment
Redemption Quest: The entire trilogy is essentially revealed to be one for John Ward himself; after failing to finish the botched exorcism and fleeing in terror (condemning Amy to her fate), he lost his Faith and became wracked with guilt and nightmares. The games see him overcome his fears and doubts to not only attempt to save Amy's soul, but also confront the source of the demonic evil that targeted her. While the outcome is dependent on the ending obtained, in the best ending he succeeds, redeeming Amy's soul, seeing Gary cast into hell, and either joining Father Garcia on a demon-hunting crusade or settling down with Lisa for some much-deserved peace and quiet.

Gone Horribly Wrong: From the few details we get of the attempted exorcism of Amy, it was an absolute disaster. One of the notes has blanked-out text that goes into a bit more detail: Amy killed Father Allred with her bare hands, and strangled her parents with their own intestines. In Chapter III, you get to see it, and it turns out that Father Allred had everything in hand until Amy's parents came down to the basement in response to her screams. John has to escort them back upstairs, and then everything falls apart.

Multiple Endings
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: A whopping five in the first chapter, surprising for such a modest game. If you kill Amy, it turns out it was all a schizophrenic episode and you're locked away for murder (or you really did kill a possessed girl and the schizophrenia is how the church covers it up). If you kill Michael, you simply drive away, complete (although Chapter II confirms that you killed a possessed boy). If you kill the shadow (aka Father Garcia), Michael kills you. If you kill a deer, the deer kill you right back. If you shoot that fox carcass in a pentagram, a Satanic cult jumps you. Chapter II has three: the normal ending, the bad ending if Father Garcia dies during the final boss but you defeat the boss anyway, and the secret, really bad ending that has John Ward inducted into the Satanic cult. Even the demo for Chapter III has two endings, the standard one after defeating the boss at the end, or a Bad Ending where during the fight, you (intentionally or accidentally) kill Lisa while possessed by the demon Body Surfing between her and you, which leaves it to continue possessing John, who simply apologizes and blames The Devil for killing her while speaking in a heavily distorted tone of voice. In the full release of Chapter III, there is a bad ending, a normal ending with two variations, and a Golden Ending that has minor variations depending on the Last-Second Ending Choice.

Cruel and Unusual Death: It's hard to tell due to the game's deliberate low-poly look, but John can die in some pretty gruesome ways, including being squashed into a red smear, torn to shreds, or mangled beyond recognition. At one point, during a Rotoscoping cutscene, John appears to visibly melt alive, as well.

Deal with the Devil: Obviously, what with the Satanic cult trying to bring on the end times and all. Specifically, however, it is heavily implied that John was tricked by Satan into abandoning Amy to Hell's clutches after the demon possessing her murders her parents and Father Allred. The vision of "God" he sees preys on his fear and cowardice to prevent him from completing the exorcism, only willing to grant him safe passage out of the house if he verbally forsakes Amy's soul.

As the Good Book Says...: The instruction screen quotes Psalm 116:9 ("I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living") when teaching you how to move, and James 4:7 ("Resist the devil, and he will flee from you") when teaching you how to cast out spirits with your cross. Psalm 91 is also repeated in many endings from Chapter I, and said in full in a Chapter II boss fight. Darkly invoked in Chapter II, in which a message from the Satanist leader Gary mockingly paraphrases Matthew 7:21: "Verily, not everyone who says LUCIFER, LUCIFER will inherit His kingdom."

Death of a Child
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_269e82c1
comment
Death of a Child: Occurs a lot in the backstory of the game due to the cult's activity. Well, you wouldn't expect a demonic cult that's really gung-ho with killing people to draw the line at children now, would you? The first known instance of this is the Cornfield Maze Incident, where the dismembered body parts of six orphans under the care of Snake Meadow Hill Church were discovered by their caretakers. What had happened was that the orphans ignored their caretakers' warnings to not go into the nearby cornfields after a dog that was also being cared for by the Church was discovered to have been killed by something hiding in the cornfields. Miriam Bell is heavily implied to have either killed or had a hand in killing four of the six orphans who were under their care during their time in Snake Meadow Hill Church after it was restaffed. While there's no clear indication how many years have passed between the events, this one chronologically occurred after the Cornfield incident. In the very first game, Michael Davies, is essentially dead by the time you encounter them as their body has been used as physical vessel by a demon, which is why they now have a really grotesque look. One of the steps that you must do to Earn Your Bad Ending in Chapter II is to offer an innocent child to the red figure in the confessional booth. As it turns out, this has been happening long before the events in the game, both the ones that John experiences (sorta) firsthand and the flashbacks we are treated to, since the Cult of the Second Death has been practicing a ritual in the form of offering newborns to the portal to Hell that they carve into a vessel's face. It's for this ritual that the cult runs a childbirth assistance clinic in order to gain access to newborns. It's Played With in the case of the Martin twins, Amy's younger brothers. They seem to have disappeared after the exorcism performed on their sister and no mention is made of their fate in Chapter I. Then in Chapter III, Father Garcia says that he's been unable to find them even after searching and trying to track them down extensively. But as it turns out, the twins were actually a Tragic Stillbirth that Cindy Martin suffered and to cope with it, she pretended that they were still alive.

Right after defeating the second phase of the final boss, Gary, Malphas, and Miriam all convene on each other and fade away, seemingly dying there and then.

Darkness Equals Death
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3
comment
Darkness Equals Death: A common theme: In Chapter I, the only "dark" area is the house's basement, but there's a bloody pentagram there, and finding it is what triggers Amy to appear and start attacking you. In Chapter II, there's an entire segment set in a series of dark tunnels. Trying to blindly navigate your way through them will just get you killed by monsters. You need to find a flashlight — driving off the demon guarding it — before you can proceed. And there are still monsters lurking in the dark you'll need to watch for, as well. Two instances in Chapter III. There is a segment in the apartments where John must temporarily discard his crucifix to proceed. A camera is found shortly thereafter, and then the lights go out. The flash of the camera is the only way to navigate the pitch-dark building until you find the crucifix again in the basement. And, naturally, there are monsters lurking in the dark that will chase you when you flash the camera... Inside Moloch's navel, John proceeds through a hallway where the lights go out behind him as he passes. Further on, there is a darkened forest brimming with bird-head demons with broken necks, that can only be seen by the light of a lantern John finds.

Missing Floor
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_2e10c4ab
comment
Missing Floor: The apartment complex in Chapter III is missing its 7th floor, and trying to access it using the stairwells only ends in brick walls where it should open into the floor. Approaching it from the 6th floor only gives you the message that there isn't a 7th floor, but approaching it from the 8th reveals that there is a 7th floor. You can try accessing it with the elevator, but it only gives you an Ominous Visual Glitch. Pressing the 7th floor more than once triggers the appearance of a strange demon in both the Ominous Visual Glitch and in the hallways of the complex.

Number of the Beast: The fake DOS-style loading screen you see when booting up the game contains a line reading "666k RAM". In the Chapter II Prologue, there's a points system where doing certain actions will earn you points. This is the only section of the game that uses this mechanic. The max score you can get is 666. In the main game of Chapter II, the note John reads right before turning into a wretch contains an ascii image of an inverted cross made of 666's.

The previous exorcism is never gone into detail, but it was bad. In Chapter III, the game flashes back to the exorcism, showing that it got so bad, the only reason John was the Sole Survivor was a Deal with the Devil in the guise of a Divine Intervention to save himself in exchange for Amy.

In Chapter III, the game flashes back to the exorcism, showing that it got so bad, the only reason John was the Sole Survivor was a Deal with the Devil in the guise of a Divine Intervention to save himself in exchange for Amy. Airdorf loves this. Chapter II is full of notes that give just enough backstory on the various locales and demons to paint a picture of what might have happened, while leaving plenty unspoken. Chapter III mentions something happening at a previous Halloween party that traumatized a little boy named Timmy. This led to the invention of what his parents assume to be an imaginary "elevator friend." On the path to the apartment's secret boss, you will see a child holding hands with the elevator demon as the both of them walk away. You never catch up with them. Afterwards, you can visit 7A to find the remnants of a ritual with a nearby note expressing the writer's desire to bring their child (implied to be Timmy) back.

Bad Boss: In Chapter III, you can find a note in the apartment building where Gary instructs his fellow cultists how to keep themselves safe during the visit of the UNSPEAKABLE. A note you can find elsewhere in the same building, implied to be from another cultist, reveals that Gary is lying to them and that no one is safe, instructing others to run if they see the demon. He also acts dismissively towards everything Tiffany did out of her love for him, showing how little others actually mean to him despite his Affably Evil persona he has been putting up in front of the cult. There's also the fact that Gary has keeping the money meant to cover the apartment building's utilities payment.

Stupidity Is the Only Option: If you try to touch fire at any point, it will lead to a quick death as you control a fast-moving, flaming John before he falls over dead. However, defeating the True Final Boss in Chapter III requires you do this to set fire to the boss while it's vulnerable by touching it while you're on fire. Although miraculously, in this instance you'll extinguish yourself by doing this, but then it is effectively a religious battle rather than solely a physical one. You must also do this to achieve the secret ending in the Chapter II demo, setting a scarecrow on fire this time. It's not as obvious, as the burning car and the scarecrow are two screens apart, so the timing is a lot tighter. Also, unlike in Chapter III, John doesn't survive this one. Maybe.

Bittersweet Ending
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: All of the endings are either a Bittersweet or Downer Ending. Chapter I: If you kill Amy, you're arrested for murder. If you shoot the shadow (revealed to be a priest that is trying to stop Michael) in the woods, you're killed by Michael. If you shoot that fox corpse on the pentagram, you're jumped by the local satanic cult. If you kill a deer, nature strikes back. In fact, the best ending is to give up your pursuit of Amy after the incomplete exorcism, and shoot Michael when he attacks you as you try to leave. And even then, the hosts of both demons are dead or dying, the demons never expelled from them. Chapter II: Best case scenario, John is still haunted by his failure to exorcise Amy, and can only hope that her death leads her to Heaven; meanwhile, Amy's siblings are being targeted next, and John needs to hurry to spare them the same fate. If you couldn't protect Father Garcia during the Final Boss, John's final speech and self-reflection will be a lot less hopeful, and a red figure is shown tailing him. In the secret third ending, in which John completes three Satanic rituals (drawing a pentagram with blood from his eye, luring an innocent child to a demonic confessor in a haunted church, and murdering two innocent bystanders while temporarily turned into a demon). As a result, after "winning" the game and it's revealed that it was All Just a Dream, John goes into his backyard and finds the cult and the UNSPEAKABLE waiting for him, inducting him into their ranks, complete with John spouting Tears of Blood. In Chapter III: Failing to unlock the Crucible will have John and Father Garcia successfully prevent the Profane Sabbath. However, Gary is still at large, and John is shaken by his experiences and lacks closure. He follows Garcia on the latter's war against the demonic forces, but it's clear that he isn't doing it of his own convictions, a fact that is reflected by the two leaving in Garcia's car instead of John's. It's even worse if John failed to protect either the police officer in the hospital or Lisa in the apartments, in which case he's so broken by everything he's endured that he hesitates to join Garcia's crusade, only to be forced to at gunpoint. Failing to protect the police officer and Lisa, as well as failing to confront the bonus bosses in the clinic and apartments, will enable access to the room in John's house that is covered in crosses. Inside, he finds Amy, and is used as the new vessel for the Profane Sabbath.

Would Hurt a Child: Amy's possession is the entire catalyst for the plot, but it gets worse when Chapter III has an entire daycare raided by Gary's cult, with it being shown that they sacrificed everyone inside as well. The same Chapter implies that Gary's clinic was a front to acquire newborn sacrifices. Taken to the extreme once you ask Gary what the Second Death is...and learn it basically entails casting newborns through the mutilated face of a sacrificial victim into Hell itself. Miriam Bell murdered nearly a dozen children at the orphanage she worked at and later ran, all for the sake of the Satanic cult she founded. She also developed the Second Death ritual, so offering babies directly to Hell was her idea. Tiffany performed the Second Death on herself, and Airdorf stated that 490 souls will be exorcised from her over the course of the boss fight. How did she even get access to that many newborns?

Body Horror: The crawling demon that attacks you in the first game's overworld is actually a human. After a year of being both possessed and locked in a basement for exorcism, he has lost all his hair, grown deathly pale, and has developed rickets. This seems to be a general symptom of Demonic Possession. Tiffany's head exploded to make way for the demon coming out of her body, reducing her neck to bloody strips. And her body is still attached to and dangling from the much larger demon, yet she can move and talk like nothing is wrong.

God Was My Co-Pilot: During the climax of Chapter III, on the Golden Ending route, a white silhouette that John calls "God" appears when he begs for help. During the final boss, he is able to survive multiple but limited hits, implied to be a blessing from God. It's likely that God was always with John, considering the power of his cross, but his Crisis of Faith blinded him. Subverted in that the White Silhouette is strongly implied to not be God, but rather a or The Devil, granting John his freedom from the Martin house at the cost of Amy's soul, and John's sanity.

Police Are Useless: Though not for a lack of trying on their part in Chapter III, being massacred by the cultists though not without taking a good amount with them. A single one does manage to help out during the hospital section, untying John when he's stuck on a gurney and even helping him defeat the boss of the area despite blatant Genre Blindness. Said blindness gets him killed anyway not a minute after you leave the hospital together and he chases after some "hippies" who burned his car. And later on in Chapter III, an entire army has surrounded the daycare that serves as the cult's headquarters, but the only things they manage to accomplish are murdering John if he tries to leave and getting massacred in most of the endings.

Answer to Prayers
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_5de76bce
comment
Answer to Prayers: The final flashback in Chapter III has then-amateur exorcist John Ward, having escaped the Martin household and the demon-possessed Amy, pray to God for help. God (or at least a figure who claims to be God) answers and personally speaks to John, who expresses his fear and desire to save himself even if he has to leave poor Amy behind. God gently cautions that he is acting in cowardice, but otherwise helps him leave. In the final phase of the True Final Boss, God empowers John to fight Super Miriam, allowing him to take ten hits instead of the usual one.

Or a demon comes flying at your face. A large amount of the game generally seems inspired to make you wonder if you're losing it. Not helping this is how even the notes might screw with you.

Not helping matters is that he gets faster the more you repel him. If you're really unlucky, he'll spawn right next to you when you're at the edge of the screen, a guaranteed Game Over unless you have incredible reflexes.

Facial Horror
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_6654b17b
comment
Facial Horror: Towards the end of Chapter I, when you encounter Amy in the attic, you find she has a gaping bloody hole where her face should be. During the third round of the boss fight, the demon possessing her sticks its arm out through the hole. In Chapter III's apartment area, you get a trippy visual of a demon staring John in the face, before his face seems to melt as he is seemingly possessed by the demon also possessing Amy. Later, every time he is possessed during the Boss Fight, his face seemingly explodes inside out. It's quite gory. It's implied in Chapter III that cutting off the face is what lets the demon inside. Tiffany willingly did it to herself to try to win Gary's favor, and she can be found in the full game as an Optional Boss. Asking the right question to Gary will have him tell John that the way to open a portal to hell is by carving off one's face and inserting a newborn in it. As you ask him more questions, Gary's face becomes more and more distorted.

Inside a shack, you find a letter from Gary to Jakob, the Big Bad of that game, as well as a photograph of the two along with an as of yet unknown third man. As soon as you leave the shack, you are chased by a Horror, an enemy from DUSK that Jakob had gifted to Gary as a pet. Even before that, an Easter Egg in Chapter II has the symbol of Jakob's cult appear in the sewers.

He's been transformed into a pallid, nightmarish humanoid on all fours that tries to rip John and the wildlife to shreds. If John shoots him, the newspapers relate the locals taking his corpse for that of a chupacabra.

Guide Dang It!
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: The only way to learn what John was up to after Amy's failed first exorcism is to abuse the gun's respawn mechanic to shoot the mirror three times and fight a Optional Boss. The secret third ending in Chapter II. You have to complete all three of the secret Satanic rituals before reaching the final area: after the Eye Scream scene, but before opening the gate, backtrack south and draw a pentagram between five rocks with your blood; if successful, a new demon will appear and need to be driven off. Next, lure the child to the church in the woods, and take him to the confessional, like the demonic confessor demanded you to; a demonic hand will snatch him, then you. Drive off the extra boss fight, then continue on. Finally, when John is turned into a monster, after approaching the overpass but without going under it (thus returning John to normal), backtrack, and the path will have changed to open up a new ledge to the top of it; from here, quickly chase down and kill the man and woman, while avoiding being killed by the truck. If you did all these steps right, then in the final section of the tunnels, the path that's normally blocked off will be open, and at the top is an inverted cross with a red note at the base congratulating John for his success. Afterwards, finish the game normally, and you'll get the "Initiation" ending. And along the way, once again, you'll be treated to extra lore about John's time following the first exorcism.

Failing to unlock the Crucible will have John and Father Garcia successfully prevent the Profane Sabbath. However, Gary is still at large, and John is shaken by his experiences and lacks closure. He follows Garcia on the latter's war against the demonic forces, but it's clear that he isn't doing it of his own convictions, a fact that is reflected by the two leaving in Garcia's car instead of John's. It's even worse if John failed to protect either the police officer in the hospital or Lisa in the apartments, in which case he's so broken by everything he's endured that he hesitates to join Garcia's crusade, only to be forced to at gunpoint.

If you kill Amy, you're arrested for murder. If you shoot the shadow (revealed to be a priest that is trying to stop Michael) in the woods, you're killed by Michael. If you shoot that fox corpse on the pentagram, you're jumped by the local satanic cult. If you kill a deer, nature strikes back. In fact, the best ending is to give up your pursuit of Amy after the incomplete exorcism, and shoot Michael when he attacks you as you try to leave. And even then, the hosts of both demons are dead or dying, the demons never expelled from them.

Even then, you need to figure out how to apply the purifying flames to the Mother, otherwise she will recover and the fight will continue until John dies. The answer is to light yourself on fire using one of the two torches in the arena and then run into her while she's weakened.

Eldritch Abomination: Pretty much all of the demons are this to some extent, if not Humanoid Abominations. But special mention goes to the demon known as the UNSPEAKABLE, being an amorphous mass of arms and tendrils with a single eye in the center, whose summoning usually means instant death for the player. It's unknown just what this thing is. It's said to be capable of unspeakable power (hence the name), but it's unclear whether it's real, or just part of John's nightmare. Its presence in the initiation ending seems to indicate the former.

One-Hit-Point Wonder: John's crucifix has the power of God to exorcise demons, but John himself is only a man, and the many, many horrible things in his path are more than man. The demons will eagerly turn the source of their distress into a red smear on the floor the second they touch him, and that's if you don't get particularly grisly death cutscenes from certain foes. On the flip side, John can't do the same to any of his foes, making his mission all the more daunting.

Non-Standard Game Over
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_8e0430ab
comment
Non Standard Game Over: A different Game Over screen can appear on the way to the secret third ending in Chapter II. While John is transformed into a demon and on top of the overpass to kill the two bystanders, the player can get ran over by the Airdorf truck that strolls by without warning. Instead of the standard MORTIS screen, the player is greeted with a huge red splatter, followed by an untelligible voice and a distorted foreboding sound. It may catch any curious player off-guard. In one of the demos for Chapter III as well as the full game, the police have surrounded the cult-ran daycare, necessitating John to sneak in through the back way. If he then tries to leave via the front entrance, the cops will mistake his crucifix for a gun and promptly blow him away, triggering a rare rotoscope cutscene of John being shot to death. It then cuts to the usual "MORTIS" screen. During the first fight against Gary, getting hit will actually not immediately kill John, but rather knock him to the ground and force him to drop his crucifix. The player has a short window to recover the crucifix; if Gary catches up to John first, it cuts to a short rotoscoped cutscene showing that John has become the new vessel for the UNSPEAKABLE. Cue the "MORTIS".

Demonic Possession
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_906365a2
comment
Demonic Possession: Amy Martin is a victim, and the player controls an exorcist trying to handle it. He fails. From then on, though Amy apparently "dies," much reference is made to the fact that the demon is still running around wearing her face. Chapter II confirms that Michael is also a victim of possession, whose body has been demon-ridden for so long that he's no longer recognizable as having ever been human. Something similar happens to John during the game. Maybe. In Chapter III, John must be possessed by a demon at least once. Also, Lisa is used by Gary's cult as an unwilling vessel for that same demon. The final encounter involves the demon surfing between John and Lisa multiple times during the battle, trying to bait John into killing Lisa. If he does, the demon possesses him permanently.

comment
Canis Latinicus: "Pandemonium regnat" doesn't actually mean anything in Latin — not only should the verb "regnat" come first, "Pandemonium" was coined by John Milton in Paradise Lost as a name for Hell's capital city, from the Greek "pan" meaning "all" and the Latin "daemonium" meaning "demon". As such, it could be interpreted as either "the demons reign," "Hell reigns," or "chaos reigns." Given the accuracy of the Latin in the first game, this was probably chosen deliberately for its ambiguity.

If you try to touch fire at any point, it will lead to a quick death as you control a fast-moving, flaming John before he falls over dead. However, defeating the True Final Boss in Chapter III requires you do this to set fire to the boss while it's vulnerable by touching it while you're on fire. Although miraculously, in this instance you'll extinguish yourself by doing this, but then it is effectively a religious battle rather than solely a physical one.

Eldritch Location: Anywhere that seems to suffer from demonic influence suddenly seems to stop obeying the laws of natural geometry, as there's many an Unnaturally Looping Location, and the environments start having implausible layouts or straight up reality-breaking abnormalities. Combine this with John's Sanity Slippage and it might be hard to tell if any of it is actually happening or just his mind's interpretation of what's happening.

Foreshadowing: You can see a spirit behind you in a mirror in the house, but you cannot exorcise it. When you get the rifle, fully breaking said mirror starts a Secret Boss fight. The Chapter II demo has a note mentioning how one can open the Gate to Hell by putting three followers of the dragon into an effigy and setting it on fire. Cue Chapter II where John kills three followers of the dragon and then turns into a demon after setting the effigies of them on fire. The family portrait in the Martin residence only shows Amy and her parents, with Nate and Jason excluded. One might think that this is due to the portrait being from before the boys were born. However, it is revealed that Amy really was an only child and the twins were miscarried, without any mention of them being the delusions of a grieving mother. In III, in the alley outside the clinic, a dead purple bird can be found and a cultist runs away after being spotted. This is the same alley where the cop (who is the same shade of purple) is ambushed and killed by the cultists later on.

Probably one of the more effective ones is in Chapter III's hotel, where you've lost your cross and only have a camera with flashes to guide your way through the lights going out. It's almost inevitable that the demon possessing the hotel is going to briefly appear in all of its rotoscoped glory across your screen briefly after you've flashed the camera too many times. This comes with a Delayed Reaction of a sound cue to boot.

The secret third ending in Chapter II. You have to complete all three of the secret Satanic rituals before reaching the final area: after the Eye Scream scene, but before opening the gate, backtrack south and draw a pentagram between five rocks with your blood; if successful, a new demon will appear and need to be driven off. Next, lure the child to the church in the woods, and take him to the confessional, like the demonic confessor demanded you to; a demonic hand will snatch him, then you. Drive off the extra boss fight, then continue on. Finally, when John is turned into a monster, after approaching the overpass but without going under it (thus returning John to normal), backtrack, and the path will have changed to open up a new ledge to the top of it; from here, quickly chase down and kill the man and woman, while avoiding being killed by the truck. If you did all these steps right, then in the final section of the tunnels, the path that's normally blocked off will be open, and at the top is an inverted cross with a red note at the base congratulating John for his success. Afterwards, finish the game normally, and you'll get the "Initiation" ending. And along the way, once again, you'll be treated to extra lore about John's time following the first exorcism.

Game on. A goofier version occurs as an Easter Egg should you let the third phase of the final boss proceed long enough. Super Miriam momentarily vanishes, the intense final boss music is once again replaced with goofy 8-bit celebration music, and Anti Poop-Socking messages start to appear on the screen.

Story Breadcrumbs: The basic plot of the first game is very simple, but if you want more context on the backstory, you'll have to go out of your way to hunt down notes by exorcising various objects. The sequels take this up to eleven thanks to the increasing Mind Screw. You'll have to get many notes to understand what the plot even is, and sometimes they just raise more questions than answers. Confronting Gary in the third game's finale will give you the option to ask three questions, which will give some answers, but there are many more mysteries that are left unsolved.

In Chapter III's apartment area, you get a trippy visual of a demon staring John in the face, before his face seems to melt as he is seemingly possessed by the demon also possessing Amy. Later, every time he is possessed during the Boss Fight, his face seemingly explodes inside out. It's quite gory.

In addition to these three, there's Father Garcia (grey), Gary and his cult (red), and in Chapter III, Tiffany is purple, (but more of a lavender, as opposed to the dark purple Amy was in Chapter I) and Lisa is a pale yellow.

Mind Screw: One of the best-executed examples is a note approximately halfway through the second game, which appears to be an excerpt from a newspaper talking about a set of recent murders, before the writing turns a bit morbid. Then it addresses John directly... then it gets REALLY bad.

Jump Scare: Prevalent throughout the game, but not super ear-piercingly loud... at first. By the time Chapter III rolls around and almost everything you encounter is genuine demon threats, you should probably not play with headphones for certain encounters. Probably one of the more effective ones is in Chapter III's hotel, where you've lost your cross and only have a camera with flashes to guide your way through the lights going out. It's almost inevitable that the demon possessing the hotel is going to briefly appear in all of its rotoscoped glory across your screen briefly after you've flashed the camera too many times. This comes with a Delayed Reaction of a sound cue to boot.

Weaksauce Weakness: While scriptures get brought out for more serious threats, generally anything demonic can be warded off with a mere cross. Or at least the crosses that priests like John and Garcia wield. This can exorcise certain beings so hard that they outright die. Still have to shoot Michael the old-fashioned way, however, who is too far gone and far too physical to be put down through exorcism.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: According to Chapter I's endings, Amy may be either an actual victim of Demonic Possession, or just a delusional escapee from a mental institution. Subsequent chapters settle into the Demonic Possession being real. And even before that, in the first chapter, a note acquired by killing Michael is of a news article about police and animal experts trying to identify a strange, deceased creature that sounds exactly like Michael.

Serial Escalation: Each subsequent chapter gets worse and worse in the demonic incursion. The first is an isolated part of Connecticut with two major threats and an Optional Boss. The second starts having more overt problems, run-ins with cultists and unexplainable happenings which isn't helped by the fact that it's all Dreaming of Things to Come. And then the third and final chapter is straight up hunting to find the demons in key locales they dwell at so as to stop them from causing Hell on Earth. The scares ramp up accordingly to the threat level. Also seen in gameplay; the first chapter consists of 2 relatively short exploration areas and a single boss fight, while the second and third chapters are larger, more non-linear, and have multiple fights against various different demonic enemies.

Anti-Frustration Features: The game autosaves just about every time you make progress. In the final segment of the game, if you waste the one bullet you were given with the rifle by not shooting one of the five valid targets, the loaded rifle will respawn in the Martins' living room where you first found it. Version 1.1 added a visible pentagram in the attic during the boss fight with Amy's demon to make it easier to predict her movement pattern and get out of the way. In Chapter II, a few of the final boss's attacks, including the infamous pentagram attack, will completely ignore Garcia, making keeping him alive much more manageable.

Red Herring: In Chapter III, in the school basement, there is a puzzle involving the positioning of chairs and three demon masks. The masks control the chairs, but are in a different room, requiring the player to go back and forth between the mask room and chair room to solve the puzzle. The masks don't do anything. Going back and forth enough times will trigger a Jump Scare where Gary injects John with... something, which will then change the layout of the basement; the player never returns to the chair or mask rooms and thus never needs to solve their puzzle.

Chapter III mentions something happening at a previous Halloween party that traumatized a little boy named Timmy. This led to the invention of what his parents assume to be an imaginary "elevator friend." On the path to the apartment's secret boss, you will see a child holding hands with the elevator demon as the both of them walk away. You never catch up with them. Afterwards, you can visit 7A to find the remnants of a ritual with a nearby note expressing the writer's desire to bring their child (implied to be Timmy) back.

Powered by a Forsaken Child: Powered by a lot of them, turns out, since the Second Death ritual involves cutting a person's face out to make a portal to Hell and then feeding babies into the portal until a demon pops out. Specifically, Amy is only 17 when the cult targets her for this ritual, and John and Father Garcia spend much of the game trying to prevent her younger brothers, who are 6-7 years old, from meeting a similar fate. Sister Bell murders nearly a dozen children over the course of her influence over the orphanage, and the cult is generally not above inflicting the ritual on small children. Taken to an extreme by Tiffany. The Second Death ritual requires 7 newborn babies to be passed through the hole in the face, but Tiffany, who was rejected by Gary, decided that she could still succeed if she used seven times seventy-seven (539!) babies. Which she did. When you fight her boss battle, she'll release an insane amount of souls to reflect the sheer number of babies she consumed.

It's Played With in the case of the Martin twins, Amy's younger brothers. They seem to have disappeared after the exorcism performed on their sister and no mention is made of their fate in Chapter I. Then in Chapter III, Father Garcia says that he's been unable to find them even after searching and trying to track them down extensively. But as it turns out, the twins were actually a Tragic Stillbirth that Cindy Martin suffered and to cope with it, she pretended that they were still alive.

As it turns out, this has been happening long before the events in the game, both the ones that John experiences (sorta) firsthand and the flashbacks we are treated to, since the Cult of the Second Death has been practicing a ritual in the form of offering newborns to the portal to Hell that they carve into a vessel's face. It's for this ritual that the cult runs a childbirth assistance clinic in order to gain access to newborns.

Big Damn Heroes: Father Garcia appears to save and help John during Chapter II's final boss. He does the same for Chapter III's final boss, arriving to pump Gary full of lead and cover John's back.

Idiosyncratic Menu Labels: The games have menu items written in Latin that get translated into English whenever they're highlighted. The first installment for example has "Initus" (Begin), "Catechismus" (Instruction), "Additicia" (Extras), and "Abitus" (Exit).

The Antichrist: Whatever Gary is, he is not "a normal human being, just like you and me.". He dabbles in demonic corruption, turns people into monsters, and uses unholy magic in service to a demon. When John speaks with him briefly in Chapter III, he gradually becomes more corrupted before his mask of humanity returns.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Chapter III can be completed by simply investigating and trying to fight off the cult's machinations in the three main locations, but you'll get incomplete endings that don't resolve everything. You have to dig deeper and seek out every Secret Boss to be able to really face Gary as a True Final Boss once and for all instead of him getting away, and finally free Amy's soul.

No-Gear Level: There is a part of Chapter III that combines this with Blackout Basement. Where in order to advance John needs to let go of all his current possessions, including his cross, essentially leaving him defenseless against the demons.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Chapter III has Garyland, the Elaborate Underground Base of the Eternal Order of the Second Death, as the last of the three big areas in the game. It is a massive labyrinth patrolled by Gary’s cultists and guarded with several puzzles.

Last-Second Ending Choice: In the Golden Ending path of Chapter III, after Gary is pulled to Hell and John successfully exorcises Amy, John is offered a choice between settling down with Lisa or continuing to hunt the Unspeakable alongside Father Garcia.

Real After All
 FAITH: The Unholy Trinity (Video Game) / int_fb724048
comment
Real After All: Chapter III clarifies that yes, the exorcism and John's return was real, but Chapter II was All Just a Dream, or at least partially. The entire final chapter takes place in a proper suburban setting where John lives, and the cult of the UNSPEAKABLE are prepping the final steps of their god's summoning, with at least the core events being very real.

comment
Crisis of Faith: According to John in Chapter II, he "turned [his] back on the ministry, and broke [his] vows with God" between Amy's first exorcism and the events of Chapter I. He has had a change of heart and come back to God, whether it be out of guilt or genuine belief. Averted by Father Garcia, who actually has found a renewal in his faith from the events of the game.

comment
Badass Preacher: John Ward is a priest that doesn't take shit from any demons. He still goes down in one attack, and his only "weapon" is a cross used to banish spirits until you get a rifle with one bullet left in the final part of the game, but he makes pretty good use of what he has, and is at least spiritually-attuned enough to recognize the real Amy when she attempts to confuse him with duplicates in the first round of their fight. Father Garcia from Chapter II reassures John with complete certainty that the two of them can banish the Big Bad of the game. Whether he is right or wrong depends on the player. Even more so in Chapter III when he does the same, but arrives packing a shotgun.
