Press release:
Prague, Czech Republic – October 24, 2024.
The Prague-based (Czech Republic) indie games publisher Fulqrum Publishing and Gdańsk-based (Poland) indie games developer Byte Barrel, are today extremly happy and proud to announce that the full version () v1.0) of their Lovecraftian horror FPS “Forgive Me Father 2“, is is now available for PC via Steam, GOG, and EGS.

Calling all Cultists – Fulqrum Publishing and Byte Barrel are delighted to announce that their Lovecraftian First Person Shooter title Forgive Me Father 2 is finally complete, and is leaving Early Access today!

The 1.0 release of Forgive Me Father 2 is available to purchase via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG right now, allowing players to finally dive into the completed version of Byte Barrel’s Eldritch nightmare.

Additionally, a digital artbook and official soundtrack is also now available for purchase – with both items being bundled as part of the Deluxe Edition

Drawing inspiration from various FPS subgenres, including classic boomer shooters like Quake and Doom, combined with modern mechanics, unique visual style, and Unreal Engine 5 technology, Forgive Me Father 2 offers an action-packed retro-meets-cutting-edge love letter to all FPS fans.

Building upon the original with a darker story, players are now entrenched deeper into the mythos, with equipable Dark Tome pages to upgrade their madness skills. Be that healing wounds with Lifesteal, becoming more powerful with Might, boosting fire rate and reload speed with Haste, or reducing incoming damage with Resistance, players can give their mind to the eldritch apparitions to improve their chances of survival.

While Forgive Me Father 2 has seen multiple major updates over its Early Access period, today’s 1.0 launch introduces tons of new content including vast new levels, new weapons, eldritch monstrosities to battle, and much, much more!

Starting from today, players will be able to explore the suitably-named Nightmare Land, a low-gravity Hellscape filled with gigantic mushrooms, and of course, hordes of Lovecraftian monstrosities ready to devour their flesh and soul. If mushrooms aren’t your thing, why not face the chilly horrors of the new Arctic level, which also launches as part of today’s 1.0 release?

Players will also be able to get their hands on new tools of destruction, such as the melee weapon known as ‘The Suspicious Box’, which clears their personal space when surrounded by hideous monstrosities. Or if you’d prefer, why not kill enemies through sight alone? Then you’ll love the latest addition to the Dark Tome system, which wounds enemies within your sight at unbelievable frequency. No one is safe as long as you have a clear line of sight to your target.

The full release of Forgive Me Father 2 is available to purchase right now on Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG
