Story

The game is set in Spain in the 1990's in a Catholic Nunnery.

Player Character

Has grown up a member of the church since they were a child. From a deeply religious family and was groomed into becoming a nun. She is 26 at the point of the game taking place. As she has been working to be a nun her whole life, when becoming a nun she was qualified to become a member of the exorcists of the local covenant. Despite having worked to reach this status, it has grown her tired, weary and constantly stressed due to the horrors she has had to work with on a daily basis.

Due to being a member of the church, she has never had any help to deal with the stress and constantly keeps it bottled up inside her, leading to her biting her nails as a coping mechanism and having stretch marks on her hand. As a woman in the church, she was repressed and shamed her whole life growing up, leading to many scars that stayed with her. The horrors of the demons she exercises often bring up these wounds making the job both mentally and physically draining. During the 90s, religion started losing its grip on the public and many became disenfranchised with religion, leading many to question the need for nuns and nunneries. These thoughts didn’t pass by many who grew up in the church and led to them often question their faith.

Setting and Visual Storytelling

The game takes place in an old nunnery made in the 15th century that has been popular with the local populace since it was first open. It is also one of the few nunneries in the country that has a specialist demon exorcism ward where the most vulnerable patients of the church are kept to be looked after by specialists. While having a high number of nuns in the covenant, (playable character) is the only member that is allowed to work at night due to the danger that the demons possess. Due to this, most doors in the nunnery are kept locked tightly so that all the covenant members of the nunnery are safe from the demons while they roam. Doors that are left locked at night have handles coated in holy water as well as having sage burnt by the door as a double measure for keeping the demons away. These do not, however, work for preventing patients from being possessed, as they are too weak to hold off the demons and must therefore be looked after vigilantly.

Imps

Servants of the demons. Demons have many types of servants fulfilling many roles, but the most common and lowest ranking are Imps.

Imps take care of the more mundane tasks. E.G. Stealing, misplacing things, inciting fights. They generally cause a nuisance to humans in an attempt to impress their Demon Lord.

Mischievous by nature, they only do things that would benefit their Lord, but will often stray and do things that were not assigned tasks.

Their reports back are often embellished to make their accomplishments seem greater than they were, this can often land them in trouble.

Shadows

A dead human’s spirit, hijacked by a demon who claimed their soul. These spirits are forever bound to be a demon’s puppet.

A demon will often stay in their domain and use these shadow puppets to spy on things.

They can only navigate through shadows and darkness and will dissipate when in direct light, destroying the form.

These forms will often feature bright eyes, possibly multiple eyes. Rarely, they show sharp teeth or fangs in order to frighten someone who stares too long.

Mentor notes

For 6 years you trained under me in the covenant of exorcism and never in my days as a teacher here have seen someone so well connected to the world of demons. I know you will be starting soon working in the special unit of sins soon and as I know you are the youngest to have ever worked there, I prepared some notes for you to remind you of your most important training as well as to keep you prepared for working with real demons. You might’ve been talented in training as I saw first hand but, believe me, exorcising the real thing is more daunting and even more terrifying than you can possibly imagine until you experience it for the first time

Each demon specialises in focusing on certain fears and this is their biggest weakness. Once possessed, patients will start acting in ways that are subtly influenced by the demon that has possessed them. Being able to notice these differences is the key to being a successful exorcist as it’s the way you can be prepared in exorcising them. Don’t forget this.

Exorcising demons isn’t a one key fits all ordeal. Each demon has a different way for it to be exorcised. For example, they will all require different artefacts of significance that specifically target the fears that the demon preys on to fight back against it. Unfortunately, you must let a patient be possessed so that you can figure out which demon is on the loose. Sometimes sacrifices must be made

As you should’ve been told in preparation for your work, there are many items of importance around the nunnery that you will need to use to exorcise the demons that work from the shadows there. However, I will use this time to remind you of these items as from what I can read they can be broken into 3 sets of items that seem to work on the same type of demons. The first set can be used to restore decay caused by demons and this seems to include the blessed oil. The next set of items are all vain personal belongings like an old pocket watch. The final set of items are all antiques from the age of the moors including an old gold coin. Remember these well.

Now I know I’ve spent most of my time reminding you of the lessons I taught you about demons and exorcisms but it would be poor of me not to remind you about your duties as a nun. Remember you are a sister of the church and your primary goal is to practise the teachings of God and perform your holy duties. Your main one being looking after the patients who reside here. Pay attention to their needs and wants and make sure to look after them so they are healthy and less susceptible to being possessed. God would not want them to die under our watch.

These are all the notes I have for you for now but I trust that you won’t need much of my help, as I said you are the most talented exorcist I have ever taught. Times might be changing in this country and now more than ever we need the power of god to save the people and the growing non-believers. Remember this and don’t you ever forget it. Good luck Sister.
