Pure PlayStation: The Church in the Darkness mixes a lot of things up from the standard norm nowadays. The open narrative format for each and every playthrough provides a nice spice to the proceedings, but not knowing what to excel at makes this a jack of all trades, master of none situation. And that’s before the technical problems. It can certainly be enjoyed by the completionists and explorers, yet pretty much singles out the rest.
Religious cults have existed for centuries, albeit in different forms. Whilst following the word of God is a genuine way of life for many people, it can become twisted by the eccentric and influential. While Paranoid Productions’ adventure game, The Church in Darkness, has some problems, it offers a unique play style.
The Church In The Darkness is one of the most disappointing indie games available on Switch so far. It might have been a great idea on paper but the execution is flawed and very low-effort on Switch.
The Church in the Darkness is an "action-infiltration" ; game set inside a religious cult in the 1970s developed by Paranoid Productions.
