Holy Purge (v1.0.1)

An abandoned medieval village becomes a tightening trap in this harsh co-op survival horror experience. Holy Purge casts one to three players as priests confronting a spreading supernatural blight, with a witch’s ritual and an ancient spirit at the center of the nightmare. Its mood is bleak, oppressive, and deliberately unforgiving: darkness gathers momentum, the wilderness grows more dangerous, and every trip away from safety can become a desperate scramble to regroup.

The central objective is to search the village and surrounding areas for the ritual components needed to break the curse, then survive long enough to complete the cleansing. Players defend themselves with practical holy tools, including crosses, silver, and burning torches, while hostile beasts stalk the forests and darkness accelerates as a match continues. Randomized doors, item locations, and collectibles keep runs from becoming a matter of memorizing an optimal route, forcing teams to communicate and adapt when vital supplies appear in risky places. Online play supports up to three priests, with positional voice chat helping call out threats and coordinate searches, while a server browser makes it possible to join strangers; solo play is available, but it is clearly designed as a punishing test rather than the ideal starting point.

What separates Holy Purge from more action-heavy co-op horror games is its emphasis on ritual preparation, navigation, and mounting pressure instead of simply killing everything in sight. The medieval religious-horror setting gives its scavenging loop a grim identity, and the randomized structure lends repeat sessions more uncertainty than a fixed haunted-house scenario. Fans of Phasmophobia-style teamwork and the tense resource management of survival horror should appreciate its focus on communication, though its escalating difficulty and minimal margin for error make it best suited to committed groups and genre veterans.
