“Unholy” is a horror action game developed by Duality Games and released on July 20, 2023. Set in a brutalist post-Soviet Eastern European town, it invites players to explore two parallel worlds: the stark reality and a grotesque society ruled by a priestly caste. The protagonist searches for their missing child, facing unsettling challenges and brutal enemies along the way. The gameplay features a blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, infiltration, and innovative shooting mechanics, enhanced by captivating visuals inspired by dark artist Tomasz Strzałkowski.
Key gameplay elements include using a versatile weapon based on four emotions—anger, fear, sadness, and desire—to interact with the environment and confuse or damage foes. Players can also craft and wear masks to gain new skills and improve their abilities, crucial for survival in the unholy world. The game requires a 64-bit operating system with minimum specs including an i5 4460 processor, 12 GB RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card. It offers a unique horror experience that encourages players to support developers by purchasing the game legally.
