Exactly one year earlier, Amy killed her parents and John's superior, Father Allred, during the exorcism ritual, and John was traumatized by the event. On September 21, 1987, Catholic priest John Ward returns to the Martin residence in rural Sterling, Connecticut, to finish the botched exorcism of 17-year-old Amy Martin. The game's story is inspired by the Satanic panic of the 1980s and 90s, where allegations of physical and sexual abuse in the name of Satan were made against teachers, schools, tabletop role-playing games, toy companies, heavy metal musicians, and television/film companies. The music is a combination of original music and pre-existing pieces, such as Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Erik Satie's Gnossiennes. Additionally, much of the dialogue is presented through 80s-era synthesized speech, with some voice lines and sound effects taken from "real" electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) and exorcisms processed through those same programs. Though most of the game is presented in an isometric, low-framerate display, several rotoscoped cutscenes are used throughout each chapter. The game is styled after 8-bit computer games of the early 1980s, such as the ones found on the Atari 2600 console or Apple II computer. It can also exorcise possessed objects, which typically reveal notes that expand upon the game's plot or provide hints related to puzzles. The player's main weapon is a crucifix, which damages and slows enemies when held aloft. Players control a priest as he first attempts to complete a failed exorcism, then tries to prevent the summoning of a great demon. The game received positive reviews, with critics praising the game's for its unique visual style, atmospheric storytelling, and the ability to evoke the nostalgic feel of classic horror games. The game uses retro graphics similar to the graphics of an Apple II or Atari 2600. The game consists of three chapters the first two were self-published by Airdorf Games in October 2017 and February 2019 respectively, while the third was published by New Blood Interactive in October 2022 as part of Faith: The Unholy Trinity (stylized as FAI†H: The Unholy Trinity), a compilation of all three chapters with additional features. Faith is a survival horror video game developed by Airdorf Games for Windows.
