About This Demo

After slowly getting used to the monotony of the hospital, a letter is placed gently in front of you...

The scrawl is as embarrassed about its content as the old woman is to have burdened you with it.
It reads:

We are all so glad to hear about your swift recovery, the state of drivers these days worry us all!
Please can you continue towards that stead, the old pastor's ever so ill and we hear he's not got long left.
We know this is a big ask, with your condition, but this is a delicate congregation, no sense on how to be without their spiritual guide.

She stares, interrogating blinks trying to tease out your faculties.

You won't get another opportunity like this.
This is perfect.



The Parish is a slow-burning, atmospheric horror game about tackling the mysteries of this church, its people and its founder, preferably all while staying alive.
This demo contains two short sections (Approximately 10 minutes of gameplay) that are representative of the core gameplay and tone of the game.

Full Game features:

  • Lots of drab, awkward conversations not at all inspired by real life
  • The ability to sprint away from the beasties!
  • Multiple Endings reflecting your choices during the story!
  • The rich culture and wildlife around the parish (If you can find any)
  • Free access to the old man's pain medication! (just don't tell him)
  • The ability to choose what sermons you give!
  • The ability to resist devilish temptation by abstaining in a corner of the world!
  • A door that can be bolted and locked during the night!
