Ritus Exorcismus News

[h2]Brazilian Exorcists Wanted[/h2][p]God be praised, exorcists! Demo version 0.7.0 is now live and it marks a big milestone for us: The work to support multiple languages is complete, and the first language to be added is Brazilian Portuguese![/p][p]We did our best to cover 100% of the content, but if you spot any missing translations, just let us know and we will get it patched as soon as possible.[/p][p][/p][p]This opens the door for more languages to be added, and we'd like to add as many as possible, but the amount of content to be translated is not trivial and comes at a cost. We cannot promise that any particular language will be added, but if you'd like to see the game translated in you language, let us know![/p][p]What we don't want to do is use AI or Google Translate. Ritus Exorcismus is a story driven game and a bad translation can ruin it.[/p][p][/p][h2]Tusks And Talons is now Dernhelm Games[/h2][p]Another piece of news is that we are renaming our studio to Dernhelm Games![/p][p]We always felt that we needed a more unique name, something that would help us stand out a bit more. We really like Dernhelm Games and decided to make the switch now together with this announcement.[/p][p]The only thing that changed is the name, we are still the same team of 2 working on the game. The YouTube channel was renamed, but our other social media accounts and Discord are still the same.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We hope to see more exorcists joining our Abbey as more languages are added, and, as always, we'd love to hear your feedback![/p][p][/p][p]Until next time,[/p][p]Dernhelm Games[/p]

[p]Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, exorcists of the world![/p][p][/p][p]The first update of 2026 brings some small but significant changes:[/p][p][/p][h3]Remove Crosses From Exorcism UI[/h3][p]We covered this in more detail in our Discord server. The crosses were added to the game back when failing 3 minigames in a row would result in failing the exorcism. They were then repurposed to fit the current gameplay but never really fit well. So we decided to remove them and make so failures are more costly as you progress through the game, and not inside a single exorcism.[/p][p][/p][h3]Demonic Taunts[/h3][p]Now demons have access to your mind! Demons will taunt you and invide your thoughts during dialogue. They will try to question your faith in your dreams. And will be more present during exorcisms.[/p][p]The main goal is to showcase more of their presence in the world and highlight another aspect of the struggles you will face as an exorcist.[/p][p][/p][h3]Improved Dialogue[/h3][p]Dialogue was updated not only to open space for demonic taunts, but also to make interactions with villagers more meaningful. The main change is in the conversations that happen after you bless a village. Those were greatly expanded to make the experience more rewarding.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoy the new version.[/p][p]As always, feel free to share you feedback, join our Discord server, wishlist the full game and reach out on social media![/p][p][/p][p]Until next time,[/p][p]Tusks And Talons[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello exorcists![/p][p]Version 0.5.9 is a small quality of life update focused on UI inputs. We added a new input font to better differentiate input keybinds from regular text.[/p][p]The main areas updated are:[/p]

• [p]All keybinds now appear with a unique font. They look more like a proper key or a mouse button.[/p]
• [p]Dialogue choice selection is more clear. \[E] appears on the selected choice and the keybind fills up from left to right to indicate the progress of the long press.[/p]
  • [p]Still not perfect, but better than before.[/p]
• [p]Input hint added to upgrade button.[/p]
• [p]Input hint added to Ritus Sanguinis actions.[/p]
• [p]Input hint added to Blessing Altar actions.[/p]
• [p]Bug fixed - wrong task being selected when opening journal.[/p]

[p]We hope this makes things a bit clearer to both current and new players.[/p][p]Let us know what you think about the new changes, feel free to reach out on discord, social media or here in our community hub![/p][p][/p][p]See you on the next update,[/p][p]Tusks and Talons.[/p][p][/p][carousel][/carousel]

[p]Dear exorcists,[/p][p]We have two main things to share in this update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Ritus Exorcismus[/h3][p]First, we changed the name of the game to Ritus Exorcismus. We feel like this name is much more descriptive and gives a better first impression to players. It makes it clear that our game is first and foremost about exorcising demons.[/p][p][/p][h3]Demo v0.5.8 is now live[/h3][p]As mentioned in our previous update, we changed how traveling works in the game. We removed the world map and now each village represents one chapter of the main story. This makes the game a bit more linear, but also allows us to focus on storytelling and making each encounter more unique.[/p][p]In this new version you will also experience:[/p]

• [p]Bigger villages with more inhabitants.[/p]
• [p]Characters now have more animations and dialogue portraits.[/p]
• [p]More manifestations of evil. Cleansing a village will require more than just exorcisms.[/p]
• [p]A Journal to keep track of you tasks in each location.[/p]
• [p]Many new cutscenes.[/p]
• [p]Some books with lore, for those that want to know more about the world.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We're really excited about this update, we hope you enjoy it! It marks the completion of the core gameplay loop, and now we'll focus on polishing (a lot) and adding more content.[/p][p]As always, wishlisting the game and leaving a review on the demo page help us a lot. Feel free to share any feedback/suggestions on Steam, social media or our Discord server.[/p][p][/p][p]Until next time,[/p][p]Tusks And Talons[/p]

[p]Dear exorcists,[/p][p][/p][p]Back in September we announced in our Discord server that we were removing the world map from the game and changing how travel works.[/p][p]We are now getting close to having the new version ready, and the current demo doesn't represent the experience players will go through in the full game anymore. For that reason we are bring the demo down.[/p][p]You can expect a new demo to be published in the near future, probably in late November or early December. It will contain bigger villages with more activities, more storytelling and a better overall flow to the game.[/p][p][/p][p]We also want to say thank you to everyone that played the demo and wishlisted the game so far. It means a lot to us![/p][p]Stay tuned for the new and improved version coming soon![/p]
