The WhatsNext verdict
Faith is a small but exceptionally potent horror game, built from dread, suggestion, and a visual style no other game quite shares. Play it if you want unsettling religious horror that lingers after the screen goes dark.
What it does best
A singular lo-fi look that makes crude pixels terrifying
Slow-burn dread that gets under your skin
Primitive sounds weaponized into uncanny horror
Lore that makes you piece together the nightmare yourself
What might put you off
Intentionally crude 8-bit presentation
Cryptic notes and punishing trial-and-error
The setup
What you are walking into
Faith is a pixel horror game inspired by the era of MS-DOS, Apple II, Atari, and ZX Spectrum classics. Forget blue-and-pink neon. The 1980s were scary. No Internet, it was hard to reach you if you weren't home, and the U.S. was engrossed in the “Satanic Scare” which fueled widespread paranoia about devil-worshiping, witchcraft, and occult practices.
