About the game

A contemplative narrative horror experience. Purify cursed objects through rhythmic prayers. Your Faith protects you, your Guilt consumes you. 50 objects will unveil the truth hidden behind the abbey's walls. In the darkness of the Middle Ages, will you find redemption or damnation?

    A really beautiful game. The art is amazing, and the narrative pulls you into an unexpected story. Adding rhythm mechanics to the action sequences is a brilliant idea and can be quite challenging at times. Highly recommended.

    Amazing graphics and an excellent plot. The gameplay seems innovative and creative for a 2D game. Don't miss it if you like gothic-style games and have an interest in mysteries.
