Unholy by Duality Games immerses players in a chilling world split between a bleak dystopian reality and a grotesque, supernatural realm. The narrative, following Saidah's search for her abducted son, Gabriel, is both emotionally intense and deeply unsettling. The game's artistic direction and eerie atmosphere are standout features, with haunting visuals and a well-crafted soundtrack amplifying the psychological horror. The mask mechanic adds a unique twist to gameplay, offering strategic depth as players navigate the dangers of the Unholy City, though the stealth sequences can sometimes feel overly challenging, and the puzzles lack innovation.
Despite its compelling story and atmospheric design, Unholy struggles with technical issues that detract from the experience, such as graphical bugs and frustrating glitches. The game's reliance on psychological horror over traditional jump scares may appeal to some but leave others wanting more immediate thrills. Nevertheless, Unholy has the potential to be a strong entry in the genre, especially if its technical shortcomings are addressed, making it a memorable, if flawed, psychological horror experience.
