Our take on EVIL

Players seeking a clearly detailed combat system may hit a wall when they reach the core tasks: cleansing objects, exorcising spirits, and exploring locations. The description does not establish additional combat mechanics, so those expecting a varied arsenal or tactical encounters may find the activity scope narrow.

What is EVIL?

EVIL is a story-driven horror adventure in which the player takes the role of a priest entering a cursed forest for a final confrontation.

People have disappeared there, and the town’s authorities are possessed by a mysterious evil; the priest has no one to turn to for help. Armed with faith and a cross, the player searches the forest and faces its supernatural threat. The stated activities include cleansing corrupted objects, exorcising evil spirits, and exploring atmospheric locations. Horror is part of the setting, with dangers lurking in the forest. The story frames the journey as a fight against an ultimate evil, while the listed tasks focus on exploration and confronting spirits.

How EVIL plays

01Object cleansing: The player is tasked with removing corruption from objects found during the adventure.
02Spirit exorcism: The priest uses faith and a cross to confront supernatural entities.
03Forest exploration: The search takes place across atmospheric locations in a cursed forest.
