Get ready to experience “MORTIS” all over again. New Blood Interactive and Airdorf have announced that not only is their critically-acclaimed 8-bit horror title FAITH: The Unholy Trinity headed to the Nintendo Switch this October (on Halloween, no less!), but it’s also getting a sweet physical edition, courtesy of Fangamer. Pre-orders for this edition are open now.
Initially released way back in 2017 on Steam with the first chapter, FAITH eventually had an additional two chapters added, with the third one arriving back in 2022 (in October, no less). All three chapters will be included in the Switch version, which as of yet doesn’t have an eShop listing. But really, you want to snag that physical version of FAITH, which comes with a few cool physical pieces.
The physical edition of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity includes a reversible cover, a digital download code for the game’s original soundtrack by Airdorf, a 9×12-inch foldout map, a mock newspaper clipping, a sticker sheet, and an 8-page Notice for “Tier I Acolytes” booklet.
Coinciding with the announcement, Airdorf took to Steam to announce that FAITH will be getting additional merchandise, as well as a 1.5 update that tweaks a few areas of the game:
- Nearly every animated cutscene and most in-game conversations are now skippable
- Boss battles no longer manually disable the cross at certain points
- Faster loading times for “hymns” and textures
- Player can now skip to the end of longer notes and go back in menus with a single button press
- Improved display compatibility on retro displays
- DirectInput gamepad functionality
- Improved appearance when using flashlight
- Improved accessibility when searching for Spindly Lady
- A *new* animated cutscene
- Various crash and bug fixes and minor adjustments
As is the case with FAITH, the 1.5 update is coming “SOON”.
FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is a pixel-based action adventure game inspired by classic Atari games and the “Satanic Scare” of the 1980s. The game takes place appropriately in the 80s, when on September 21, 1986, two priests arrived at the Martin Family home in rural Connecticut to investigate an apparent case of demonic possession. Only two people would leave the house alive.
