About Substitute Priest
In this point-and-click adventure, you control a priest who is invited to a community at the request of an unknown colleague. There he has to deal with this village over the course of a week and uncover its secrets.
Explore the church and talk to all sorts of NPCs, listen to their sins, and give them advice. Compared to other games in the genre, the focus is not on challenging puzzles, although there are a few of them. This game is more of a story experience with some player choices, made both in dialogue and in actions.
In classic point-and-click fashion, you will encounter many quirky characters, both helpful and disruptive. Follow the priest through his days there and help him with the tasks he was given by his predecessor. Stuff like listening to other people's stories will evolve into moral decisions. Not just a simple good or bad answer.
Depending on your sensibilities, this game may also contain mild horror elements and a few jumpscares.

Great and obscure little point & click2 found this helpful
I just reached one of the endings and I have to say I really enjoyed the game. I look forward to the other endings and hope you make more games in the future. I would highly recommend the game to other players.2 found this helpful
Weird, creepy and oddly satisfying.1 found this helpful
this is one hell of an experience.1 found this helpful
Spoilers Thought it was great, one thing I thought was weird was I assumed the bad ending would involve mass happening with everybody gathered together in the church, I really assumed that's what the game was building up to. I think it should also be mentioned that the priest has not had anything to eat or drink the whole week because it gets brought up at the end and that's definitely something he would complain about earlier. I do like how the whole town just gets crazier as the week passes and he is powerless to change it, so the best he can do is to run and escape the madness, bloodborne has running away as the happiest ending too. There are some minor plot holes but they can be attributed to supernatural events. Like how did the sheep get in the church, I first assumed that he was being framed by the fraternity but it never gets brought up. A bigger question is what was going on with the church renovations, is the fraternity trying to stop the church from being rebuilt or what? Or are the renovations just an excuse for the previous worker in disguise to kill the new priest? But if they killed him then the town would have no priest at all. The sky turning green also…1 found this helpful
