I defeated a bird by talking to it about the Bible in this lo-fi first-person RPG where you’re a 19th century daemon summoner

During the Frosty Games Fest, a trailer for the first-person RPG Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic was showcased, drawing comparisons to indie games like Dread Delusion and Felvidek. The game is set in the year 18XX, where players assume the role of an occultist who inadvertently enters a bizarre alternate reality after a failed ritual to summon Asmodeus. This realm features supernatural entities, magical crystals, and even computers, including a talking computer called the Statistics and Attributes Virtualization Engine. The game includes characters known as arm daemons that provide advice on attributes. It will be available on platforms like Steam and itch.io.
