Retro-Inspired FPS “Forgive Me Father” Coming to Nintendo Switch
Fulqrum Publishing has announced that the highly acclaimed retro-inspired first-person shooter, Forgive Me Father, will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch on September 28th. Originally released on Steam last year, the game has garnered a strong following and positive reviews, and now console players will have the opportunity to experience its unique blend of old-school FPS gameplay and Lovecraftian horror.
A Comic Book World Filled with Lovecraftian Horrors
Developed by Byte Barrel, Forgive Me Father takes players on a journey through a comic book-inspired world, teeming with grotesque Lovecraftian creatures. As the player, you’ll have to manage your “Madness Level” to gain various perks and unleash gruesome kills on the creepy enemies that stand in your way.
While the level of gore may not be for everyone, the game’s comic book-inspired visuals add a touch of cartoony character to the increasingly grotesque monsters, creating a unique and visually captivating experience.
Key Features of Forgive Me Father
Here are some of the notable features that players can expect from Forgive Me Father:
- Feeling of a classic FPS from the 90s: Timelapse animations, opponents, and elements of 2D in a 3D environment; first aid kits and life points, non-reloading weapons, powerups during dynamic combat with numerous opponents.
- Custom combat experience: Players will face the challenge of maintaining their humanity while wielding weapons powered by an unknown substance. The player’s equipment evolves based on their choices, and they must find ways to defeat hordes of unpredictable opponents.
- Dynamic level of madness: The player’s current level of madness directly influences the audio-visual experience and gameplay itself.
- The gameplay is presented in a comic book style: Hand-drawn graphics maintain a distinctive comic book look, where any screenshot from the game could be a part of a new comic book.
