Unholy has its moments as a horror puzzle FPS hybrid with stealth and exploration. The storyline could easily translate into a low-budget horror film. Regrettably, it falls short in nearly every aspect, leaving me with little enjoyment outside of my curiosity about its ultimate outcome. The game's few redeeming qualities are quickly overshadowed by a multitude of issues, particularly noticeable in the subpar voice acting.
To be fair:This is probably the most ambitious title the indie developer has ever made in their pursuit to grow as a studio, so in that aspect, improvements have been made, but we shall see what lies ahead. In the future, enjoyment has to be a priority. On the bright side, updates and a lower price tag would make it an easier pill to swallow.
Open the doors between your everyday reality and a dark unholy world to unveil the mystery of the disappearance of your child. Explore both worlds to find clues, solve puzzles, decide whether you infiltrate or fight brutal enemies, and stand up to an aberrant establishment.
Two parallel worlds to explore. The grey and cold reality on a brutalist post-soviet Eastern European town and the creepy and twisted world of Unholy, a grotesque society ruled by a relentless priest caste.
An unsettling horror experience driven by an intense narrative with captivating visuals based on the works of reputed dark artist Tomasz Strzałkowski (Duality Games Art director and founder)..
A unique gameplay blend that combines meticulous exploration, intriguing puzzle solving, infiltration and stealth with innovative shooting dynamics.
A versatile unique weapon. Use four different emotions: anger, fear, sadness and desire to interact with the environment (destroy obstacles, trigger mechanisms, overload circuits, illuminate your way) or to confuse, lure or damage your opponents.
Masks! Everybody in the unholy world hides behind a mask and it can be the difference between life or death. Build your own mask to get new skills and improve your abilities or wear other masks to infiltrate, confuse your enemies and impersonate your opponents.
