What have you done, Father? News

[h2]THE CURSED BRIDGE[/h2]

🕯️ I'm 5 chapters into the game, officially halfway through this thrilling adventure. 😱



💀 "The Cursed Bridge" - this name isn't just for show; you'll experience it firsthand. Without giving away any spoilers, you'll leave the confines of the rectory behind and venture into the eerie forest in the middle of the night, all to cover up something deeply unsettling... 🌌🌲



Then, a sudden halt – a flat tire. You might want to swear, but remember, you're stepping into the revered Fr. Mathias Marton's shoes! With composure, you try to fix that flat tire. But, in true horror fashion, things take a dark turn when you discover some chilling "issues" with the contents in the chest at the back of your truck.



I won't spoil the story and events of this chapter, but rest assured, it'll be a memorable one! 👻🚗
📸🎮 Check out those new screenshots from this chapter and spread the word about the game!

[h2]READY TO SEE SOME NEW PROGRESS AND SOME HOT SCREENSHOTS???[/h2]

I'm thrilled to see you here, showing your hardcore fan dedication by exploring more about WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, FATHER (WHYDF)!

👻 Crafting the Horror Experience 👻

To keep things brief, I've put considerable thought into creating this horror game, especially the spine-chilling aspects. I lean towards a slow-burning, gradually escalating sense of dread, with carefully placed scares, rather than constant chase and fear (à la Outlast style). I am envisioning the game is a unique experience comibing noir elements with horror and gore. Plus, it is easier for me, as a solo dev. (Hey, did I tell you that I am a solo dev?)



🗣️ Dialogues that Unsettle 🗣️

Prepare to experience this unsettling atmosphere through dialogues with the in-game characters. Engage with them as the story unfolds.

🌄 From Beauty to Terror 🌄

As you embark on this harrowing journey, the game begins on a serene Christmas Eve afternoon, bathed in golden sunlight. But as the evening progresses, a massive storm rolls in, setting the stage for the disturbing events that lie ahead. Watch as the scenery transforms gradually from beautiful to utterly frightening.



🌲 Explore Beyond the Rectory 🌲

But wait, there's more! Venture outside the rectory to explore other eerie locations:

🌉 The Accursed Old Bridge, hidden within the stormy forest.
⚰️ The Cemetery, near the old rectory where you'll do... Well, stuff!
⛪ The Chapel, where you'll try seeking the help of the Divine.



These locations are not vast open-world expanses but rather small, meticulously crafted with attention to detail. Expect them to be packed with tension and dread!

Thank you for reading this short announcement! Stay tuned for more progress updates and exciting content next week.

Your unwavering support means the world to me. 😊🎮🌌

Hello, everyone, and welcome!

With this first new announcement, I want to introduce myself a bit and tell you more about the game I'm working on, so you know what to expect.

My name is George Remus, and I am a solo indie game developer from Romania. I love making games and have been doing so for almost 8 years (I made Gray Dawn, Last Days of Lazarus, The Unluckiest Man). I've experienced some mild success (critical succes that is!), which is one of the reasons I continue doing this! Making games is a truly fascinating endeavor with many ups and downs.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, FATHER?" is no different. As a fun fact, it is the second project I'm working on, and originally, it wasn't even supposed to be released. Initially, I wanted to create a narrative adventure about a painter lost in the woods (hey, I'm also a painter), but after making a vertical slice, I wasn't convinced at all by it.
That's when the idea for this psychological horror game came to me! I thought of something intriguing, something scandalous that would grab attention—something shockingly chic: a monstrous scandal in the Catholic Church set in the 1940s! The confirmation came to me after watching Alfred Hitchcock's movie "I Confess." I said, "Yes! I have to make something like this but way darker and more gruesome." So, here it is!

Now I'm going back to work, but not before showing you this awesome screenshot!

Take care and stay tuned for more upcoming announcements, as I want to keep this section as a kind of devlog and a way of keeping in touch with all of you!
