The Colony

“An ex-priest who shoots demons with an 12-gauge and has a cross that exorcises possessed people”

Storyline

You are an ex-priest who needs to find his faith again and face dangers on this journey. You control Pedro, the main character of the plot. In this adventure you need to exorcise demons, kill monsters and face dangers from the afterlife, using specific weapons for each type of enemy. The cross exorcises demons, the pistol kills weak monsters and the shotgun (12-gauge) shoots blessed bullets to send the demons back to hell in the most brutal style!

Psychiatric Hospital - "Barbacena" Colony (Minas Gerais/Brazil):

The game is based on a real location in Brazil during an extremely dark period: the "Colônia de Barbacena" (in the state of Minas Gerais). It is estimated that around 70% of the patients were undiagnosed with any kind of mental illness. What happened in the hospital has come to be called the “Brazilian Holocaust”. It is estimated that at least 60,000 people died in the Barbacena Colony Hospital (source: Wikipedia).
