Forgive me Father is an old-school FPS. The game was developed by Byte Barrel, an independent Polish studio, and was published by 1C Entertainment.
Forgive me Father takes us on a journey to the world from H.P. Lovecraft's writings, filled with monsters from the worst nightmares. During the game we play as a priest or a journalist, who eliminate hosts of adversaries, trying to find answers to their questions and trying not to go mad (to the rest).
In Forgive me Father the action was shown from the first person perspective (FPP). During the game we wander through various locations and eliminate hordes of enemies. On our way there are various creatures, such as living corpses or Liquidators resembling human and octopus hybrids. We kill them, using mainly firearms (like pistol, shotgun or machine gun) and gadgets like throwing knives. In addition, we use special skills on the battlefield, which we unlock as we progress. It is worth remembering that the priest and the journalist have different powers. And when all else fails, nothing stands in the way of trying to hit opponents with a broom.
During the fights we have to pay attention to the level of insanity of our character, because it has an impact on both the audiovisual setting and gameplay. As the described game is based on old school FPS style, we have to look for first aid kits on our way and firearms don't need to be reloaded.
Colourful graphics of the game Forgive me Father were made in cel-shading technique. An interesting trick is the placement of opponent sprites in three-dimensional locations. The impression of experiencing a moving comic book is enhanced by text that appears on the screen at certain moments (such as "headshot" or "boom" after an effective explosion).

Game Ratings for Forgive Me Father Video Game.
Sirus Gaming: 8.5 / 10 by Meg Ibanez
Overall, Forgive Me Father is an immersive horror comic book style FPS with chilling backdrops and atmospheric sounds, even though the game is linear it lets you experiment with your approach with upgrades that you can implement in your weapons, stats, inventory, or your abilities. All of that is complemented with a chilling atmosphere straight out of H.P. Lovecraft’s novels that urge players to enter the rabbit hole of mystery that the game’s story gives while pushing through horrific hordes of enemies left and right in your own way.
Softpedia: 8.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Forgive Me Father is a good first-person shooter that, despite embracing the retro concept, does not rely on nostalgia to draw players in. I played it relatively cautiously, conserving ammo when I could, and I didn’t feel like the madness system worked against me. But the game is at its best in the big arena fights, with big groups of enemies, a shredding soundtrack, and no option but to take the fight to them.
GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
If you have the time for another retro FPS in your life, Forgive Me Father will provide some solid entertainment. The fact that it’s fairly inexpensive and has Lovecraft-inspired enemies will be attractive to some, too. There are better examples available in the genre though. So, while it’s in no way a bad game, it’s hard to call it essential. It’s simply an enjoyable but unspectacular old-fashioned romp.
