Genre: Survival Horror / Action RPG

Developers: Baroque Decay; Curved Cat Games
Synopsis:
Daniel
is meeting her girlfriend’s parents for the first time. After dinner,
Sophie confesses to him that her father suffers from an incurable
disease and the only way to save him is to perform a religious rite led
by her neighbour Isabel. Something turns out badly, weird creatures
seize the building and Sophie and Isabel disappear. Fate makes Daniel
walk along the floors of that old structure and it core, facing
different horrors on his attempt to rescue Sophie and end the curse.
Style:
The absorbing story of Catequesis
has been inspired by 8-bit and 16-bit mid-nineties video games, taking
elements from Japanese terror, Catholic religion and so dissimilar
authors’ styles as Lovecraft, David Lynch or David Cronenberg.
Among the most evident references, the game shows the ambience of the first Resident Evil and Silent Hill and provides the playability of the early Legend of Zelda, which means a simple and agile way of playing, suitable for any kind of platform (keyboard, touch screen, control pad).
Moreover, SHS: Catequesis follows the same line as successful independent horror works like Lone Survivor, Yume Nikki, Home or Deadly Premonition.
