I played this game over the course of two streams and I have to say, I absolutely loved it. I will keep this review spoiler free, as the main message I want people to take away from this is that you should play it, but if you love puzzles, horror, and deep-dives into the human psyche, you'll love this game.

I loved uncovering the two stories happening, the story of the people in the house, and the story of the protagonist and her friends. And seeing how they were linked through similar emotions and experiences was a really nice touch.

Overall, you can see this was definitely a passion project, and the passion paid off. I hope the team work on more horror games moving forward because it was a refreshing, new take on the genre.

I didn't think I liked Bullet Hell games, and then I played this.

It is addictive enough solo. The addition of Twitch integration made it so that I may never sleep again.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anybody looking for a super enjoyable, indie horror experience. There are some unique mechanics and super interesting puzzles that bring something new the genre. The fact that this game is FREE? You need to play it. I streamed this game and the devs were very active in the chat, listening to feedback. I found a bug in the game while I was streaming, and received a message from the devs a few days later that they had already fixed it and uploaded a patch. You can tell the devs have a passion for horror in all its forms, with various references scattered around the house. A must-play for any horror fan.

I saw this game described as a 'Love Letter to Classic Survival Horror' and that is definitely the case. I streamed this game and was constantly describing it as an early Resident Evil / Silent Hill style game. The story is fascinating and the puzzles are very well done. If I had to say anything negative, I would say that combat can be a bit frustrating and there were some times that I died and wasn't entirely sure how it had happened. But once I completed the game, I was very happy with the experience I had.

If you at all long for the days of classic survival horror, please give this game a chance.

Annoyingly addictive. Much more fun than real cleaning. Makes me want to actually buy a Power Washer but it won't be as satisfying.

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said by other people. If you even slightly think you might be interested in this... buy it and play it. Trust me, it's worth your time.

As a fan of horror, I can say this is one of the best horror games in a long time. Jump-scares are minimal if you're not into that sort of thing. The story is harrowing, heartbreaking, and sticks in your mind for long after you've finished playing it. The sound design is excellent, and Airdorf really knows when to use silence to his advantage. As well as that, his use of rotoscoped cutscenes is simply perfection. It horrifies in just the right way.

Faith is definitely a unique experience in all the best ways. I can't even think of a game I can compare it to, because it's just so innovative. If this game doesn't change the face of Horror, it's because people aren't paying it enough attention.

I can't wait to see what Airdorf does next. I will gladly play anything this man creates.

I didn't expect a rogue-like dungeon puzzle game to be as addictive as it was, but this was very well done. I streamed it for around 5 and a half hours because I'm an idiot and kept dying in new and creative ways. The living walls were a personal favourite.

It's a fun learning experience, but if you don't like having to restart from scratch every time you die, you won't like this game. Thankfully, the devs did include some QOL changes, meaning you can select to have a map and the ability to save your game if you like.

Planescape: Torment has to be one of my favourite games of all time, and it is mostly due to the storyline and the interactions between the characters. "What can change the nature of a man?" is the question that runs through the story, and each player is able to provide their own answer via the choices they have made throughout. Love, hate, pride, anger, revenge, any of these could be the correct answer, and it's up to you to discover.
