![]() So, hopefully, there is a balance there somewhere. ![]() But when it comes to registering attacks, some enemies have a very quick windup and give little reaction time. I do feel the lack of animation or limited frames helps with an otherworldly and creepy vibe when moving. The only gripes I have are some odd animations, such as doors disappearing when you open them and some enemies looking a little basic with animations. But other creatures stand out as well, looking wholeheartedly God-forsaken and otherworldly. Their decaying flesh, gloomy eyes, and broken limbs are all wonderfully drawn. The environments are beautifully detailed, creative, and pleasing to feast your eyes on.Ĭreature designs are also darn good, with even the basic zombies looking absolutely sickening. ![]() The inky, comic book style, with heavy lines and bright colours makes the world stand out immensely.

Now with the official launch, there are cutscenes included to give you a greater understanding of events as they unfold, and all these cutscenes are beautifully made. Every bit of lore is presented beautifully, with much of it giving massive depth to the horrifying situation at hand. These story fillers are optional and very clearly labeled if you fancy learning more about what is happening. The general thematic elements are pure Lovecraft, with demonic cults, undead, strange fish-hybrid creatures, and tons of unknowable horrors which have emerged from the depths of the Earth.įor the most part, Forgive Me Father takes the classic Resident Evil approach to storytelling and puts most of the information into scattered notes, diary entries, and newspaper clippings to give a bigger impression of the story. Playing as either the devout Priest or a fiery reporter, players will venture through city streets filled with undead, seaside factories covered in gross bloody fungi, glooming and haunting forests, ancient underground temples, and much more, finding out in fragments of information what is going on. Yet the worse is yet to come, and the deeper our heroes venture through the city, the outskirts, and underground, will they discover all manner of unmanageable horrors. Brought to the city of Pestisville, you soon discover that everything is wrong as the undead walk the streets and strange occultists have brought about even stranger creatures, hellbent on devastating the world.

Players will have to blast their way through the hordes of necromantic beasts and ghouls to discover the cause of the horrors that plague the Earth. The dead have risen, and strange creatures ranging from distorted humanoid beings to otherworldly spirits, and gigantic creatures with hundreds of tentacles have brought about the end of days.
