The Church in the Darkness is now available DRM-free. Get it 20% off until August 9th, 3pm UTC.

The year is 1977. Your nephew Alex has joined a religious cult and moved with them to the South American jungle. It's up to you to sneak into the commune, find out what's really going on, and decide if you need to get Alex out.

Wait. Paranoid Productions?

That name rings a bell. I believe they created a few of my favorite games back in the day.
Did they do "Damage Incorporated"?
I'm gonna have to Google them up now. I haven't heard that name in a long time.

But if it's them, this game is probably good, based on my past experiences, is what I'm trying to say. :-)

EDIT: Okay, Paranoid Productions is also connected to Surreal Software through Richard Rouse III, who was a designer at both companies:

We thank you for the Kool-Aid, Reverend Jim
We're glad to leave behind their world of sin
Our lifeless bodies fall on holy ground
Rotting flesh, a sacrificial mound

Were you our God or a man in a play
Who took our applause and forced us to stay?
Now all together we lived as we died
On your command by your side

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand

In the cult of the damned, we all worked the land
Too afraid to look up, we all feared his hand

Hurry my children there isn't much time
But we'll meet again on the other side

Be good to the children and old people first
Hand them a drink, they're dying of thirst

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand, oh

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand, oh, oh

Bigfoot, Bigfoot thrown in a well
Pulled under water, screaming like hell
He told us life was just a hotel
Time to check out when he rang a bell

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand

Oh, mother, mother, mother

A nice companion video for your song (though much more oblique, lyrically): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAM9diyVRiM

Mmm... close enough to dance on tender sensibilities without being explicitly offensive.

Plus the event this is somewhat based on was long enough ago that it won't cause as much backlash from some.

I wonder if the "evil" route is open in the game....i.e. if one can do vile acts in the name of saving others or just be bad in general. If they make it so that one cannot do any such things it'll be a bit less of a truly open game...of course I wouldn't lose sleep if they disallowed such either, but it's nice to have total good/evil freedom(or a good amount of both) in games.

This looks good(the topic and how it's played out) but I cannot afford it atm....will wait until it drops to below 10 bucks or so.

Totally agreed...I love when games are open and allow that kind of player freedom. From my experience, it seems that only a fraction of players will utilize those options...however, that fraction of players LOVES having the options. I know myself I go out of my way to recommend games that have that sort of freedom.

Yup.....some would want such banned sadly, however, if the offensive games thread is any indication.

(Not to go offtopic but some there seem to thin being bad in a game will teach others how to be bad or encourage people to do so more often.)
