Ready your holy water as Priest, an exorcist simulator mixed with dark fantasy and RPG, is planned to release sometime in 2019.
Priest
Priest s quite a unique game as it is based on exorcism mixed with dark fantasy, and it is an RPG as well. Developed by an indie game company, Delirma studio, the game is set in a mysterious village where demonic possessions are taking place frequently.
One of its key gameplay is that you will be driving out demons, just like a real priest exorcising a person. Players have to correctly use the remedy, such as prayers or equipment, to be an effective exorcist. It also goes deeper as it may require the assistance of the previous rescued people.
Here is what Michal Jod would say about the announcement of their upcoming game;
“Priest is a combination of Christian mythology with dark fantasy. We based it upon real testimonies concerning exorcism as well as general works of pop culture, i.e. novels, films and series. Black metal and Polish folklore also inspired us, so there will be a number of relevant references”
“We give a lot of freedom. The player determines the path of action and the method the several dozen demons in the village are dealt with. The development of the exorcist also has a wide range. It concerns features and specific skills – grouped under several different schools of exorcism. What’s equally important, Priest will not be a so-called self-play – you will face a real challenge. Even if the player decides on co-op”
Priest is going to have its debut in the summer of 2019. The console release is still unknown, but the idea is not being scrapped totally.
