Gothic Metroidvania ‘The Last Faith’ Arrives November 15; Demo Now Available on Steam [Trailer]

Developer Kumi Souls Games has given fans a definitive release date for their upcoming gothic Metroidvania, The Last Faith. Originally aiming for an October release, the team has now decided that The Last Faith will instead arrive on November 15 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. To offset the disappointment, a demo is now available on the game’s Steam page.

You play as Eryk, a man who awakens with no recollection of his immediate past. Eryk soon discovers that he’s in a race against time as his mind and conscience begins to deteriorate. His desire for salvation from this affliction sets him on a cursed mission that crosses paths with ancient religions and divinities.

Explore rich, gothic environments in order to piece together the fractured history of Mythringal, and survive intense encounters against swathes of blood-thirsty enemies who will stop at nothing to put an end to Eryk. Use your extensive arsenal of of melee weapons, arcane spells, and long-range firearms to bring your foes to their knees with surgical precision, and invoke the mysterious power of the Nycrux in order to level up your attributes and stay one step ahead.

Much like Blasphemous (which had its sequel released earlier this summer), The Last Faith will have players weave between bullets, lightning and viscera as they fight against all manner of brutal bosses.

Endless Mode Available Now in New Update for ‘Life Eater’

Published

Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!

The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.

“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”

For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.

You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
