The Unholy Society

Cheesy fun for a couple of hours with lots of humour. Graphics and sound are well done, looking forward to more games by these guys in the future.

Linear side-scrolling adventure with lots of cheesy references and quite frustrating QTE action galore. Bon is a bad boy exorcist that’s on a mission to handle family issues when his professional side gets mixed with personal. Skateboarding his way through a strange town to deal with his opinionated family members, Bon will encounter many possessed souls and attempts to exorcise them all the while chain-smoking and making expletive-filled statements about everyone and everything with a dead-pan delivery. Sometimes he’s even funny. Aesthetics is the strongest feature of the game. Stylish, vibrant backgrounds, comic-like trendy cut-scenes and cartoon-y monster design play nice together and bring out the comedy/horror vibe in the most fashionable way possible. This is a game that highlights artistic talent more than any other gameplay attribute and it does it well enough to stand out visually. “Unholy Society” is a side-scroller adventure with a very light emphasis on “advent...

The Unholy Society really nails it’s humour and dialogue. This will be subjective but I really like what they did and found the game to be a nice light comfy experience. The story and characters were interesting but, much like the rest of the game, could have used more depth. This is just act one of the game and, while I don’t mind breaking games into acts, it feels a little short. Things were just getting really interesting when it abruptly ended. The combat in the game grew on me but I really didn’t like it at first. My main issue stems from having to drag the mouse around the screen and then click, if we could just move it freely without having to keep the mouse button pressed down I think I would have enjoyed it more. That being said once I got used to it after the first couple fights I didn’t mind it as much. I like the overall concept of having to find signs on the screen to make combos out of. Basically you are on a timer and can get in as many combos as you can before ...

The first thing I want to say about The Unholy Society is this: [b]it isn't comparable to anything I've seen in recent years[/b]. And as someone who oversees a games encyclopedia (at GRYOnline.pl / GamePressure.com), I think I know a thing or two about unusual games. Yes, for the major part it's rather standard adventure game with side-scrolled perspective. However, [b]exorcisms make it something quite unique[/b]. In this part The Unholy Society is transformed into... I'm not even sure how to name it... a brawler with first-person view? Basically, it turns into an action game - but, fortunately, into a simple one. (Just optimally simple for 2 hours of playing) But why would you play this not-really-action-adventure game? You should do it if you like cool, cynical protagonists and [b]naughty jokes with broad pop-cultural references[/b] (there are lots of them). How about pope calling the protagonist few seconds after defeating the first demon to reprimand him personally for conducting...

This one delivers on its promise in spades : full on 90's occult comedy with breezy and headache-free mechanics. Never outstays its welcome and has more character than MTV 35 years ago. If you like the screenshots, it is exactly the game that you imagine it to be.

If you can get past the slightly nauseating scrolling, it's not a bad way to kill an hour and a half. You may want to wait for the other acts to come out though.

A short fun game that I got on sale for 99 cents, wouldn't pay full price it's not enough content and with so few reviews I don't ever see the developers adding more you can complete the game and gain most of the achievements on the first playthrough in an hour or less. As I said it has funny moments a cool story but with so little content it is not worth the full price it should be brought at 50% off or more.

Not much of an adventure/puzzle game but rather a quirky, stylish walking simulator with an exorcism mini-game. The main problem is The Unholy Society's length—it can easily be finished in about 1-1.5 hours tops and ends on the "end of Act 1" cliffhanger. And no way in Hell this experience is worth $10. Heck, even at a 80% discount it's hardly a worthwhile value proposition. You can get so-o-o many much better and longer games for this price, hence a negative vote from me.

A simple, enjoyable game that is sadly marred by a questionable camera and frustrating controls.

Quite expensive considering the length. I would definitely only buy it if heavily discounted. The devs say they were inspired by movies - well, the game is about the same length as one. The game looks good, some of the dialogue is funny (it's a bit hit or miss overall though). I enjoyed it, but was a tad underwhelmed.
