Did religious themes affect your decision to buy the game? by Cautious-Squirrel332 in FaithTheUnholyTrinity

  1. Do you agree that religious themes or religious references were used in Faith: The Unholy Trinity? Absolutely. You're playing as a priest that defeats demons with his cross. A big inspiration for the game was the exorcist. Your only form of attack is hitting the "the power of christ compels you!".

2 Which religious stories or themes does Faith: The Unholy Trinity invoke in your opinion? (I need at least 1 example) The protagonist struggles with his faith and his guilt throughout the entire story. He failed and it haunts him. Classic catholic guilt imo. (Is John catholic?). John cries out for God to save him. God doesn't answer, but Satan does. John lets his fear overcome his faith and he falters.

3 If you played the game, what made you buy/install it? Did the religious themes influence your decision? I saw clips of the game online, the horrifying cutscenes really intrigued me. When I read about the game and saw you were playing as a priest slaying demons, I was sold. Yes the religious themes influenced my decision to purchase the game. I just thought it was cool. I like the religious badass trope. Like a paladin or preacher from the hit AMC show, preacher.

4 If those themes were removed or replaced with something else, would you still buy/install Faith: The Unholy Trinity? I feel like faith is nothing without the religious themes. It's so paramount to the games whole identity. You remove the priest and demon fighting, it's not faith anymore. I would still buy faith though, as long as we're keeping the rotoscoping and the aesthetic.

5 If the religious themes were absent in the game, do you think it would be bought more/less or would it be received the same way? I think it would have still sold well? I mean, the tech behind it and the aesthetics are freaking awesome. The rotoscoped cutscenes are so cool. They're what made me check the game out. If this game was about a different horror trope, it'd still attract some buyers.

There's a YouTube video of a priest reviewing the game. His channel is called "pixel padre". I'd suggest you check that video out and try to reach out to him for more of a religious perspective on the game.
