Faith - The SIMPLEST and SCARIEST horror game you never played

2 months later: Airdorf released an update that adds a "wave" type mode in the extra settings. Also, now if you disable the "demons" setting, pressing start game brings you into a different scene where John and Lisa live in the town normally. You can walk around the town from Chapter 3 and see different people. It's quite wholesome. Before the update, the demons settings didn't actually do anything lol.

Fun fact,There is an actual lore reason why John walks dreadfully slow and doesn't sprint. in Chapter 3,if you go for the bad ending route,back in the john's apartment you'll get to read a special note on Lisa's room which used to be locked and that note is actually John's medical/patient profile and in it it states that he has "Minor cuts and bruises,sprain in left ankle" and "Diminished Mobility from childhood injury to right knee." This is why poor ol John walks so slow but the fact that he managed to face and defeat all the horrid nightmares while having such handicap is honestly peak badassery.

the ending where you go with father Garcia and does the "you son of a bitch" but rotoscoped in pixel art, and then says "LLLeTTS gO KEEll Sum dEmOnS" is super funni

I love this game. They managed to make what's basically an Atari 2800 game actually scary.

I love that Faith shows that through the Lord anything is possible

Lisa is not John's girlfriend but his twin sister, his romantic interest is Molly a girl that he leaves to save Amy from the demons.

Glad to see Faith getting recognition. New Blood is great all of their games deserve the highest praise. Great video!

Hey Lam very cool video. You missed a secret boss fight in chapter 1 btw. When you get the "A gUn WiTh oNe BuLlEt" you can use it to shoot the mirror in the other room 2-3 times (the fun respawns after each shot) which will get you a secret mirror demon fight. The mirror demon was foreshadowed by the inverted "Kill her"

I agree, low graphics games can be really scary. Like those games with ps1 graphics or the classic ones with 8 bits.

this game was surprisingly one of the best games i ever played. his presentation and tropes works better than many contemporary horror movies.

I think it would be funny it there was an achievement for getting six notes in each chapter.

Don’t be afraid, John. - Father garcia

confused priest in the wild both sent me and felt like a callout post

Can confirm, that's how we used to sound like in the 80's.

In chapter 2 during elevator game there is a small chance of an old lady entering elevator and jumpscaring you if you try to interact with her. But the chance is so low, that most players won't even know about her.

3:38 Very nice reference in the top right White Face from Imscared W.D Gaster from Undertale And finally Uboa from Yume Nikki A nice collection of spooky guys from pixelated horror games.

Ah yes, the best horror game that doesn't need a high end pc to play it

Its funny that you say that the 8it music sounds “blocky” because the square wave is often used in of a lot of these 8-bit synths to get that sound

Faith is one of those titles that gave me hope in the video game medium again. Can't praise it enough. It also hits another dopamine receptor since my very first horror game experience was an old TRS 80 CoCo 2 one on magnetic tape called "The Trip" and Faith is very reminiscent of it down to the bit crushed speech. Thus, I really think it's even MORE primitive than 8 bit. Oh, and the gibberish in that special note is latin for "Satan reigns in Chaos".

Prove this, atheists.
