Okay so between this and Indieween, are there any indie horror games that came out THIS YEAR that I've missed? I've already got Signalis and EndoParasite written down but I have a feeling there's more.
Ummm.. It's not a "Horror Game" per se, but it _is_ an Indie Game, and it does have a lovely automated audio-jump-scare for whenever you get surprised by a zombie, and the game is so tense and brutally unforgiving that it can _feel_ like a horror game sometimes, but yeah, for about 2 years now i've _REALLY_ *REALLY* wanted to see you do a review of Project Zomboid. I know you recently took a pretty firm stance on no Demos/Early Access games anymore, but i would argue that PZ has been in "Early Access" for 10 years now, but it's really been more than release-able as a full title for at least a year, and the only reason it hasn't been declared feature-complete 1.0 yet is because the eency-teency (i think 2 men and 1 woman) dev are all zealous perfectionists and devout Zombie Movie fans who wanna make as intense, realistic, and fun as possible Zombie Apocalypse Simulation as possible. It truly is a *fantastic* game. And that's coming from someone who picked it up like 3-4 years ago and only put like 6 hours into it up until a couple weeks ago because the game was/is so unrelentingly hard and unforgiving that i just couldn't get into, despite it being by far my favorite game to watch on YT/Twitch all those years at the same time. Finally, this October, i made myself buckle down and just learn how to play, and honest to god, this game made it into my "Top 5 Games you're doing a disservice to yourself as a gamer if you've never played them" alongside The Witcher 3, Age of Empires 2, GTA San Andreas, etc.
Excited that you know about Signalis. I hate playing horrors and have been consuming the entirety of genre via playthroughs or videos like yours. Signalis' demo got me so enthralled with aesthetics and potential story that I'm playing it DESPITE being a horror. And I love it so far. However my love can be based solely on genre inexperience, so I'd be incredibly glad and curious to see your perspective as the genre veteran 👀
I'd say the best indie Horror games released this year (not including the ones you already mentioned) are : Stay Out of the House LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl Cultic Withering Rooms My Big Sister: Remastered Ib (Remake)
My favorite detail of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is John's cross going from gold in the first game to bronze in the third. Indicating how his faith is slowly fading away.
@@Heydad956 both are very probable; I think, if anything, he's losing faith in his fellow man, as they don't believe him about the threats or dangers, while his faith in God is strengthened as the demons fall before his crucifix.
Here’s one detail that either was an oversight or was done to hint that maybe John is lying about his priest status is that he’s divorced. In the Catholic Church, you cannot be married to be a priest. If we assume that John and his wife Molly divorced, John would not be able to qualify as a catholic priest as you are still considered married under the eyes of the church.
I thought about that too. Another theory I came up with is that perhaps at some point he was in a relationship but took up the cloth later in his life... or he's just playing it fast and loose with his vows.
Not necessarily, there are married men who have become priests later in life and are still with their wives, depends on if the Church makes an exception for them or not.
@@wildonionchase3934 Those exceptions are often limited to specific rites though. Eastern Catholics in particular, byzantine, maronites, and I think the Anglican ordinariate. John seems at least from what I've seen, to be a Latin Rite Catholic. Therefore, unless he's a Deacon (unlikely since he's supposed to be a valid exorcist and deacons aren't ordained priests within the Catholic Church) it's not possible for him to be married and a priest. Dude isn't rocking an Eastern style crucifix or garb. My best guess is it's either a past relationship or like Charl said, he's not exactly obeying those vows of celibacy.
Yep! And while Orthodox priests can be married (and often are), or even involved in a non-sacramental second marriage (i.e. divorced and remarried), the chances that John is Orthodox are rather slim given how exorcisms are usually portrayed in media and the names and backgrounds of the other characters. Either way, I think the question is very interesting.
It's surprising what a good year for Indie Horror this year is. With this, Endoparasitic and a few more I could mention. I can only imagine the joy you feel every time someone goes "Oh hey charl! Did you hear about [Insert very intriguing indie horror game here] yet?" an you hastily scribling it onto an ever growing list.
Been playing through Signalis as well, that's another very good horror game for this month to add to the list. In all honesty this October may go down in history as one of the best months for horror games just from the indie scene alone.
@@ceroscentauri7045 now if only the AAA market could give us something. Sure, we're getting a remake for Silent Hill 2 and a remake for Dead Space but those are old games with a new coat of paint. Perhaps the Calisto Protocol will do well?
So fun detail: there’s a section with the purple upside down cross and candles in the room. There’s Hebrew script on the wall and it says “dybbuk.” this refers to a restless spirit that has the ability to possess people or objects in Jewish folklore
Also interestingly in the stone used to seal the chamber, there is also Arabic carved into the stone that would be interperted as "Jinn", i.e. a supernatural entity that while not exclusively evil, are imbued with free will like humanity. Thus if a Jinn wishes to join the Devil, they can entirely do so, and since Jinn are capable of super-human feats, Jinns are very powerful. Though of course, any Jinn that takes this path, and follows the Devil is more thought of as a "Shaitaan" Or Demon. ALSO FUN FACT, in Islamic Theology, Jinns are actually thought to be the things that possess people. So Faith really does a good job of tying all three Abrahamic Faiths together. Which is definitely a plus point in my book
@@oneevidence5153 The Second Death is supposedly being the Whore of Babylon which is the main spawn of The Antichrist in The Book of Revelations, and since "the beast" which is Antichrist is often represented as Seven Headed Dragon and the last proxy of The Devil, the Antichrist will have lesser yet still powerful cohorts of demonic assistance to help him, Seven Headed Dragon are motives of cycles of 7 days occurring in Pagan Pantheon (sometimes represented by 12 too) and it's occurs in Christian Gnostic groups to be representative of 7 Archons or at least one of the Archons being a 7 Headed Dragon too in synch with Book of Revelation's eschatology (albeit there's 1-2 more benevolent ones which redeemed and became fulfilling the role of Old Testament deity in particularly Sethian Cosmology against his chaotic siblings and his parents sprung from Chaos, it's more extensive while being more complicated with it's own sets of Cosmology), if there's narrative sequel to current Faith trilogy, it might even includes the rejected pagan pantheons especially from the Near East which often associated with The Antichrist instead
My absolute favorite little detail in this trilogy lies in the confession booth scene in 2. John emphasizes Him in relation to God but the other voice doesn't. It's such a minor detail but it really helped emphasize the character of these beings before we saw much of the cult in 3.
It's also of note, that the 3 secret bosses represent the unholy trinity: "the mother" in the daycare center, "the daughter" Tiffany and the "unholy spirit" - that red triangle thing - in the lair below the daycare center, which follows you through walls and screenscrolls.
@@viewtifuljoe4412funnily enough, that also applies to the Final Boss: The Beast - Malphas The Anti-Christ - Miriam Bell The False Prophet - Gary Miller
It's a sad state of affairs when the only time I've ever not skipped a sponsorship segment is when said segment is actively telling you not to use the product. To my knowledge, this video is the only one of yours I've ever watched and that segment alone convinced me to subscribe.
If I'm not mistaken, chapter 2 is entirely a nightmare and none of the stuff there actually happened but the nightmare itself isn't just in john's mind but gary purposely messed with john's mind through a nightmare. And the "amy" you see in the apartment tv is actually tiffany you can see the difference in color (Tifanny is more pink while amy is more purple)
Honestly watching the original game when it first hit the scene was awesome but coming back to see where it's at now is just amazing another banger under your belt my good man
Picked this up on release. So good. It's 100% worth it to look up a guide to make sure you get the "true" boss in chapter 3 after playing through a first time
There’s also an error in one of the notes, the one when Morris writes to Bob. Morris says that Nancy’s delusions had gotten worse, when talking about Cindy (aka Mrs. Martin). Nancy had only been mentioned as Cindy’s friend who is single with no kids. Cindy Martin is also the only family member we know of that has been experiencing insanity since she believes her twins are still alive and have been alive for years despite having been miscarried many years prior to the events of the game.
This is your first video i've ever watched and the anti-sponsor segment is fucking genius! Faith is also by far one of my favorite games by now, such a well made series that deserves all of the praise it gets.
23:34 This is likely Tiffany in the TV, not Amy. The figure in the TV has the same pink coloring as Tiffany's model and text, as well as it is Tiffany's own apartment she appears in.
I’m pretty sure it’s Amy, as in the games it is pretty well established that John regrets not being able to save her, and is haunted (literally and metaphorically) by the memory of the botched exorcism
@@Gomberto2000 It's Tiffany, as Tiffany performed the SECOND DEATH Ritual on herself, and Amy is always shown in a distinctive purple hue, not to mention the secret bossfight of Act 2. It all points to the woman in the TV being Tiffany, not Amy.
Hey Charl! There's new indie horror game called Endoparasitic that I saw recently from its dev here on YT and it has a cool concept and visuals. Possible candidate for future videos mb?
I've written this one down now. So many good horror games have dropped this year that even with indieween and the halloween special I gotta keep a list.
Always a good day when you post. I know you put a good space between horror videos, but I recently picked up "Signalis". I have not completed it yet, but so far it has been worth every cent. Your average review will include words like "resident evil" "silent hill" "cosmic horror" and whatnot, and boy the game does not disappoint. The best aspect of the game is the story, thus a blind playthrough is going to give the best expereince as the world is filled to the brim with lore.
I more often than not skip through the ads but I've never seen an anti-ad before and, man, you get all of my respect for that one because these NFT hucksters are genuine villains. Thank you for reading your response to us because someone had to hear it and I'm sure they didn't read it at all.
Watching this video *again* because I'm a sucker for anything rotoscoped. Deeeefinitely gonna pick this up when I can swing it. Even though I never finish horror games because they scare me so much... Thanks again for the great video! And Happy Halloween!!!
If this exists in the same universe as DUSK I know a shotgun wielding back flipping solution with a cowboy hat that will solve all of those problems easily
Honestly i completely and utterly lack constitution to play spooky games. But sometimes i buy them if i enjoy content around them like this video. Good to know that Faith got a solid steam release
@@mrmuyagi9907 huh you are right but I could have sworn i had heard Szymanski worked on it, that does explain the completely different genre and style of game it is
just got done playing all 3 chapters in one sitting and let me tell you the third chapter had me GOING THROUGH IT with all of the puzzles and weird shit that you had to figure out
Honestly that reverse patreon sponsor thing is probably the best way to gather new patreons. I was tempted. But then I remember I already have a creator I support and I know this channel for the emtirety of half an hour.
Man the bad ending and good ending leaves me with some questions. Like was she there behind the door the entire time. Why only with the bad ending you can go behind the door. What does the door mean when you have the good ending
Lol I love how people still maintain that NFT's aren't a blatant scam. Have people made money from them? Absolutely, when they first appeared obviously they were huge. But the VAST majority of people who buy them do so at a loss of almost 100% because...here's a shock, they're fucking worthless. Like I could make an NFT of this video and wow now I have this hot new item to sell but uh...who wants it? Basically nobody has a use for that, the content is the video itself. The only time this NFT would be valuable at all is if for some reason the video got like a billion views down the line and some weirdo megafans were willing to pay stupid amounts of money for it. Anyone who can't see how that would be a poor investment is the perfect target. It's just...so obvious and I still don't feel sorry for anyone who loses money on them, if getting rich quick was that easy there would be more rich people.
8:25 ive been thinking about it. Since i played c64 as a kid. An kin of watch it through a kids eye. All the black and lack of details. Plays with your fantasy, you kind of fill in the void with imagination. Like reading a book
ive been looking at the side art and when it was the purple on i always thought that was a hand coming from the sleeve and the girl was looking away NOPE THE ARM IS COMING OUT HER FACE
(for the fun of it tho im sure its been said before and i dont need the game) *knock knock!* "whos there?!" "gary!" "gary who?!" "GARY LOVES YOU!" *demonic screeching*
While I do appreciate the amount of effort that went into creating your anti-sponsor response. A simple "No, go away" would have been enough, you know they ain't going to read all of that.
honestly the art style reminds me far more of the Atari 2600 or colecovision than the commodore 64 or nes, which came years later and were vastly more powerful
if you like indie horror games you should check out the haunted ps1 demo disc that came out this year! its a bunch of horror game demos and theres a new one yearly, i think this years was about a mall you explored to unlock other demos? either way its great stuff if you havent checked it out yet
Ooh yeah! I love that and the Dread X collections! Like I said in this year's indieween, the only reason I don't include them for things like indieween or the Halloween special is that they're such a great value it feels like it's cheating if I include them for the indieween challenge (get 5 indie games for less that the price of a single AAA title)
YOO FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO ON THIS GAME ITS SO UNDERRATED PEOPLE KEEP ON MAKING VIDEO'S ON BAD GAME'S SOMETIMES THERE NOT EVEN ACTUALL GAMES LIKE DOORS!

My favorite detail of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is John's cross going from gold in the first game to bronze in the third. Indicating how his faith is slowly fading away.
I thought it was wood in the third game, and iron or something in the second.
It felt more like the crucifix was getting worn
Could be the adverse. We need not relics of gold when a wooden crux and enough Faith is much stronger.
@@Heydad956 both are very probable; I think, if anything, he's losing faith in his fellow man, as they don't believe him about the threats or dangers, while his faith in God is strengthened as the demons fall before his crucifix.

Wow what a nice surprise to find a shout out to one of my fav pixel horror games along with another of my favorites. The count Lucanor is
I'm still silently hoping they revive Cataquesis.
The prologue for Chapter 2 in Unholy Trinity was actually the demo for Chapter 2 that was released prior to Chapter 2's release.
this publisher knows how to find them I loved dusk and iron lung was everything i feared in one place too. Now i have to try this game too
It's not the same Dev, Airdorf didn't make Dusk or Iron Lung, they're just both published by New Blood
@@mrmuyagi9907 huh you are right but I could have sworn i had heard Szymanski worked on it, that does explain the completely different genre and style of game it is

just got done playing all 3 chapters in one sitting and let me tell you the third chapter had me GOING THROUGH IT with all of the puzzles and weird shit that you had to figure out
damn that response email to the "sponsor" was SO great. fantastic teardown
Honestly that reverse patreon sponsor thing is probably the best way to gather new patreons. I was tempted. But then I remember I already have a creator I support and I know this channel for the emtirety of half an hour.
Man the bad ending and good ending leaves me with some questions. Like was she there behind the door the entire time. Why only with the bad ending you can go behind the door. What does the door mean when you have the good ending
Never seen any of your vids, just finished the ANTI-sponsor. Subscribed.
Man your content gets better and better everytime I see your videos! Keep up the great work man! Can't wait to see what you recommend next!
Lol I love how people still maintain that NFT's aren't a blatant scam.
Have people made money from them? Absolutely, when they first appeared obviously they were huge. But the VAST majority of people who buy them do so at a loss of almost 100% because...here's a shock, they're fucking worthless.
Like I could make an NFT of this video and wow now I have this hot new item to sell but uh...who wants it? Basically nobody has a use for that, the content is the video itself. The only time this NFT would be valuable at all is if for some reason the video got like a billion views down the line and some weirdo megafans were willing to pay stupid amounts of money for it. Anyone who can't see how that would be a poor investment is the perfect target.
It's just...so obvious and I still don't feel sorry for anyone who loses money on them, if getting rich quick was that easy there would be more rich people.
You missed your chance to say "don't forget, Gary loves you"
My favorite part in this game is when John pulls out his cross and says "It's mortis time"
8:25 ive been thinking about it. Since i played c64 as a kid. An kin of watch it through a kids eye. All the black and lack of details. Plays with your fantasy, you kind of fill in the void with imagination. Like reading a book
I like the part where John said it’s mortin time and morted everywhere
24:00 I think Garcia was talking to Gary.
This game in vr would be beyond scary
Knock-Knock!
Who’s There?
MORTIS
Antisponser segment was fun
awesome, another Charlatan wonder video. sweet catholic spookies :D
13:43 - 16:14 the guy who calls himself a "charlatan" is ironically a fair and honest man. Love you, Charl.
ive been looking at the side art and when it was the purple on i always thought that was a hand coming from the sleeve and the girl was looking away
NOPE THE ARM IS COMING OUT HER FACE
That thing about the candy is no joke; just last year one of my nieces found Batman Doom stuffed inside a Milky Way. 👀
"What I am about to do has not been approved by the Vatican"
*kisses a guy*
Anti-Ads are F I R E good shit lmao
(for the fun of it tho im sure its been said before and i dont need the game)
*knock knock!*
"whos there?!"
"gary!"
"gary who?!"
"GARY LOVES YOU!"
*demonic screeching*
Frisk be like: excuse you sir, I have BEEN a loaf for some years and intend to continue.
Not gonna lie I really like the anti sponsor part
incredible work but thats to be expected
While I do appreciate the amount of effort that went into creating your anti-sponsor response.
A simple "No, go away" would have been enough, you know they ain't going to read all of that.
“The Cross of Christ is the most powerful weapon” - The Catholic Church
that was not merely an "anti sponsorship", that was a fucking french revolution execution in the form of words
the loss reference is crazy
honestly the art style reminds me far more of the Atari 2600 or colecovision than the commodore 64 or nes, which came years later and were vastly more powerful
In the folders of the game, one of the extra files is "the story so far", but I think that's been retconned.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Try to pet belly?

Fun Fact: "Mr. Grabby Munch Boy" is a reference to "Tonight It Follows" from Puppet Combo
This is my first video of yours I see.
Nice one!
if you like indie horror games you should check out the haunted ps1 demo disc that came out this year! its a bunch of horror game demos and theres a new one yearly, i think this years was about a mall you explored to unlock other demos? either way its great stuff if you havent checked it out yet
Ooh yeah! I love that and the Dread X collections! Like I said in this year's indieween, the only reason I don't include them for things like indieween or the Halloween special is that they're such a great value it feels like it's cheating if I include them for the indieween challenge (get 5 indie games for less that the price of a single AAA title)
Great vid, man.
PET THE FRISK OR FACE YOUR DOOM
To be fair, the latest episode of "Wiggly Dude on the TV" was hilarious
I’ve never been scared of horror movies before. However, I remember hiding under my blanket watching someone _else_ play Faith.
Correct, LinkedIn is worse than facebook. Liked and subbed.
bro u didnt have to go sa hard on that anti-sponsor segment, subbed out of respect
YOO FINALLY SOMEONE MADE A VIDEO ON THIS GAME ITS SO UNDERRATED PEOPLE KEEP ON MAKING VIDEO'S ON BAD GAME'S SOMETIMES THERE NOT EVEN ACTUALL GAMES LIKE DOORS!
love you Charl !
