The Exorcist (2026)

The Exorcist, developed and published by Necto, is a first-person horror experience that centers on ritual, tension, and exploration inside a haunted religious setting. Rather than presenting the player as a typical horror protagonist trying to escape monsters or survive relentless attacks, the game places the player in the role of a young priest assigned to perform a dangerous exorcism. This premise immediately distinguishes the game from many survival horror titles, as the central goal is not simply to survive but to carry out a sacred ritual intended to banish a powerful supernatural entity. The story follows a newly ordained priest who is sent to an isolated church to confront a disturbing situation.

The plot is cool, the atmosphere of old movies, I already wanted to review a couple of horror films of the 60s. Great game for the evening

What could you possibly do with that much time if there's only about 5 hours of gameplay? It's simple: for me, this game was incredibly beautiful and engaging. I adore the architecture represented in this church. And then there's the atmosphere: to fully immerse myself, I tried to play in the evening/night with the lights off and headphones on. Next, I reduced the brightness so that the candlelight would work realistically. I'll tell you this: if you're holding a candle in your hand, the flame will cause your pupils to constrict, and you won't get the same illumination as from lamps. Before performing the First Night ritual, I walked around the church for about an hour without actually starting the exorcism. I was terrified to begin.

game is hard to see even on max brightness
