Inspired by classic 8-bit games from the Atari era, Faith: The Unholy Trinity is comprised of three chapters which were originally released separately between 2017 and 2022. You control a young priest who, armed with a crucifix to ward off demonic creatures, must work to cleanse haunted objects as he explores a host of creepy environments.
The original release was met with positive reception for its retro aesthetic and atmospheric storytelling, so we've certainly got a good feeling about this one. It should prove to be a suitable form of entertainment as we head closer to Halloween, at least!
Let's check out the key features:
- Wickedly chunky pixels.
- Hand-crafted rotoscope animations.
- Haunting retro soundtrack.
- Multiple / secret endings.
- 1980s religious paranoia.
- Demonic EVPs channeled through abandonware speech synthesizers.

Anything that New Blood touches is worth the time and effort to look at. One of the best publishers out there and I’m excited this is coming to Switch. Been waiting on a date since it was at that show in Japan a few months back.
Nice, happy for those interested in this (not me particularly, but that's just because I'm not a fan of horror)!
hmm , graphics look demanding for switch
It looks great. I'm buying it.
Looks good! Hoping it'll get good reviews. I'll add it to the wishlist then..
This has been on my Steam wishlist forever, but I'm definitely getting it for Switch instead. New Blood is fantastic!
This looks great.
I have it on Steam and it was a "pass" for me. I loved the atmosphere and retro feel and you really must pay attention to solve the puzzles. But beyond that, there's not much "game" here IMO beyond wandering about and exorcising areas and repelling the nasties. I wrote a lengthy review in Steam that I won't copy paste due to size.
I hope in the Switch version they fix some trigger event bugs I ran into. Nothing more frustrating than solving a puzzle properly and the appropriate event doesn't happen.
@Gamemoose Gameplay has never been the priority of horror games, now or in the past.
@aoleu22
Probably gonna cause from framerate issues.
I grew up with every Roberta Williams Sierra game I could get my hands on, so I love this atmosphere
Abandonware speech synthesizers? Count me in!
@Zebetite I guess it depends on one's expectation of "horror" and "game".
I've played horror games through the ages that, for their time, were a good mix of both. The original "Haunted House" by Atari for the VCS/2600 could be viewed as a good mix of both qualities. To a kid of that time, it had jump scares along with a fun exploration/hiding style gameplay. The original "Silent Hill" is another good example. After playing that game as heavily as my friends and I did as young adults, hearing the tornado sirens go off at noon (as they normally did over the course of our time living in that city) made us pause briefly as our brains thought of the game. Even though it frustrated me more, "Alien:Isolation" is a more recent example.
So, at least to me, it IS possible to have your cake of maggoty flesh and eat it too.
Looks like a fun and atmospheric experience.
Really curious about this series. Definitely gonna download them soon.
I think those guys were the ones from Dusk right? I'm definitely interested.
