About This Game

Dead Saints Parade is a third-person stealth immersive sim set in a decaying Gothic-Victorian city where corruption, drug-laced sermons, and something older converge inside a cathedral that should not still be standing.

Observe. Plan. Infiltrate. Collect. Evade.

Vulnerability through observation. You die fast. You do not regenerate. Healing is rare and finite. The only way through is to watch — patrol routes, sightlines, which door creaks and which one doesn't, who answers to whom.

Stealth with severe consequences. A broken lockpick is noise. A missed shadow is a guard who remembers you. Bodies found raise the alarm; bodies hidden buy you time. If you are seen, your priority is not to fight. It is to disappear.

Non-linear infiltration. The cathedral is a space, not a corridor. Routes branch through cloisters, catacombs, servant passages, and ruined chapels. Environmental storytelling — graffiti, confession letters, ledgers, schedules left on desks — rewards players who read the walls instead of following a waypoint.

Information as power. What you find changes what you can do. A clergy rota tells you when the sacristy is empty. A smuggler's ledger tells you who the Maestro really answers to. A torn page from a forbidden score tells you that parts of this story may not be metaphors at all.

Three truths

Three truths live inside this cathedral. One of them is about money. One of them is about what the Maestro is actually putting in the communion wine. One of them is about what happens when a very old song is sung in a room that has waited a long time to hear it.

You will not leave with all three answered.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Project 41:41 is a psychological horror stealth game containing mature themes intended for adult audiences.Violence and blood. Combat is lethal and frequent when engaged. Stealth takedowns with a bladed weapon play on-screen, including close-quarters kills from behind. A period firearm is available with visible impact effects. Player death is fast and includes blood. Enemy corpses remain in the environment.Drug-related narrative content. A central plot element depicts clergy secretly administering a mind-altering substance to worshippers through communion, without their knowledge or consent. This is framed as an abuse of trust against vulnerable people — the poor, the sick, and the grieving. The player character does not use drugs. Some players may find the theme of non-consensual drugging sensitive.Religious and occult imagery. The game takes place inside a corrupted Gothic-Victorian church. It includes ritualistic content, desecrated sacred spaces, and Lovecraftian horror elements. Themes of institutional corruption and exploitation run throughout the narrative.Psychological horror. Isolation, stalking by enemies, sustained darkness, fear, and cosmic dread. Player vulnerability is intentional — combat will kill you in two hits.The game contains no sexual content, nudity, depictions of sexual assault, or self-harm.
