Hello fellow Cultists!

It’s Byte Barrel here with a brand-new DevLog! In the latest piece we teased an enigmatic screenshot of an upcoming level; and today, we’re here to tell you more about this place, from the name reveal to atmosphere and inspirations behind it. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Beautiful and extremely deadly!

First of the two levels you will visit in our second content update is called "Botanic Garden". It’s home to a variety of flora, from colorful flowers to majestic trees, and many types of fungi including some truly enormous ones. Some of these intriguing species are on the brink of extinction, and their last specimens can only be found in this botanical garden. But don’t let appearances fool you. This very green and very beautiful place that looks like a peaceful oasis is, in fact, far from that. Bear in mind that your journey to this eye-catching place will not be a bed of roses, as this botanical garden has been invaded by a species that is, unfortunately, far from extinction and very difficult to eradicate – an ancient evil.



Inspirations Behind This Place

One of the main inspirations behind the Botanic Garden was The Crystal Palace, an iconic 19th-century glass and iron structure in London, designed for the 1851 Great Exhibition. Renowned for its architectural innovation, it tragically burned down in 1936. In addition, we drew local inspiration straight from the beautiful city of Gdańsk, where our studio is based. The impressive steel framework found in the interior of Hala Targowa served as the skeleton for the Botanic Garden, creating a multi-story structure that players navigate through, eradicating eldritch horrors while fighting for survival.

Since we have the basics and inspiration behind the level covered, let’s take a proper look at this place. Here are a few screenshots presenting the visuals of this gloomy, dark botanic garden.







Something Extra!

In the first DevLog dedicated to the Second Content Update, we showed you a fragment of an enigmatic object and asked you what you thought it could be. Some of you were pretty close with your guesses and it’s finally time to unveil the mystery.

It's a new weapon called Obelisk, the first variant to fill a spot in the exotic category. This powerful tool of destruction will be obtainable as a pickup, similar to the first weapon from each type that players unlock during their journey through this malevolent world.




That’s all for now! Thank you for reading and make sure to get yourself a copy of Forgive Me Father 2 if you haven't done so already, and if you did, leaving a review of it here on Steam would be really nice! And don’t forget to drop by our Discord to chat with us and other players!

Until next time,

Hello again, Cultists!

It's Byte Barrel here with a brand-new DevLog. Lately, we've been extremely busy working on content for the second major update from Forgive Me Father 2’s roadmap, and we have some exciting things to show you. Today, we’ve prepared a little teaser featuring a few goodies that will be available in the near future. Excited? We are!

The journey continues

First up, we have an enigmatic screenshot from one of the new levels where you will face eternal evil once again. We'll definitely share more details about what you can expect from this mysterious location soon, but for now, take a closer look at its visual and thematic elements.



Something powerful is coming!

The Great Old Ones have granted us permission to reveal a fragment of an ancient object that resonates with immense power beyond human imagination. Let us know in the comments below what you think this unidentified item may be!



Because slaying eldritch horrors is definitely better with music

And that’s not all! We have something extra for you: a preview of the new level’s soundtrack. While it might not make time flow faster, it will certainly make the wait for the second update more enjoyable. Check out what the one and only Tim Fialka has composed this time!

Greetings, cultists!

It is our absolute pleasure to announce our newest collabs with other amazing FPS games in the form of fresh, never before available bundles.

"But Mr. Disembodied Voice Speaking to Me from the Void, sir," I hear you say, "I already own Forgive Me Father 2, why does this concern me?"

Well worry not my dear cultist, such is the power of the Great Old Ones that not only does the bundle bargain apply when you're buying both games at the same time, but even if you already own one, you get a discount on the other. Thus the blessed madness induced by playing Forgive Me Father 2 can help open a gateway to even more twisted worlds!

[h3]Cyberpunk Nightmares[/h3]

The first new pairing we bring before you today is that of Forgive Me Father 2 and Deadlink, connecting nightmares of the past and the future.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/42898/Cyberpunk_Nightmares/

In Deadlink, dive into a high-octane cyberpunk universe. Take on megacorporations with your guns blazing as you pilot a humanoid combat shell on covert ops missions. This FPS with roguelite elements promises intense action and strategic gameplay.

Both Forgive Me Father 2 and Deadlink are a testament to the innovative spirit of Polish game development. The teams from Byte Barrel and Gruby Entertainment have exchanged ideas and collaborated to push the boundaries of the boomer shooter genre, meeting at events like Digital Dragons to share their passion for creating unforgettable gaming experiences.

[h3]Forgive Me HROT[/h3]

We have also teamed up with one the boomiest of all the boomer shooters out there, HROT!

A true blast from the past, HROT is a single-player retro FPS set in a small socialist country neighboring Soviet Union (Czechoslovakia) after an unspecified disaster in 1986. Those times were dark and terrifying and so is the game.

[h3]Steam Summer Sale is here![/h3]
We are sure it has not escaped your attention that Forgive Me Father 2 is 20% off (and the original Forgive Me Father runs a truly insane 50% discount) - that is because, as is tradition, the Steam Summer Sale is here! Until July 11, it won't cost you your soul (just a somewhat smaller part of it) to buy new games, so why not check out the full line-up of Fulqrum Publishing titles?

We greet you, cultists!

Recently we've released the first Early Access Content Update for FMF2 and the feedback from you has been wonderful! Thanks to you, we were able to locate and squish some annoying bugs - you can see the complete list of bug casualties below.

We have one more piece of excellent news though, and that is that starting right now, Forgive Me Father 2 is oficially Verified as Steam Deck compatible - no need to limit yourself anymore, you can now unleash the Madness anywhere you go*!

*Just, you know. Don't really. Keep any violence contained within the game, please. Real life has sucky graphics anyway.

Don't forget to jump to our Discord server where you can share your thoughts and chat with other players and the developers. See you there!
