Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic Demo

[This is a pre-release demo - it contains bugs that will be addressed at launch, and its content is subject to change.]

Your Holy & Virtuous Heretic is an atmospheric occult RPG set in the 19th century. Survive a descent into a bizarre daemon world, driven forward by the avarice of a madman, and a dream of ultimate occult power.

In this place, foes become allies, and allies become foes...

The daemon summoner Aleister has attempted to bind a powerful lord of daemons, Ashmodai. seeing Aleister's dark heart, Ashmodai broke its ritual binds and returned to its surreal realm.

The Pact of Solomon has been broken, and now the boundaries between the human and daemon worlds are weak. A pathway lies open to Aleister, through which he can make a lord of daemons his thrall for all time.

To walk this path, Aleister will need to gain allies, and more occult power, perhaps more than that which exists in the entire daemon world...

• Explore the macabre world of daemons in first-person, soaking in its bizarre atmosphere.

• Talk to strange and unique NPCs, with cryptic tasks and powerful rewards.

• Collect alchemic ingredients that can be used as healing salves, or turned into formidable poisons.

• In the daemon world, you cannot escape sacrifice. Everything has a price.

• Fight challenging battles with tense, turn-based ritual combat.

• Cast arcane ARTs and utilise perilous alchemy TECHs to turn the tide of battle.

• Apply status effects to create weaknesses in your enemies, and exploit them to devastating effect.

• Negotiate with daemons in a darker spin on the creature collector subgenre.

• Leverage fear, curiosity, greed, and anger to "convince" daemons that you have their best interests at heart.

• Every daemon has unique dialogue; learn more about them and their world.
