FAITH Chapter 3 ALL ENDINGS - The FAITH Sequel Is Here I'm Gonna MORTIS / ALL 44 NOTES 

Welcome to the MORTIS Club, how MORTIS are ya?

RAIN OF SPIDERS

The part when rain washes the blood away in the end was soo cool, like the demonic influence and his history finally being over and behind him.

"Damnatio Memoriae" is when a criminal committed a crime so heinous, all the official records of their existence were destroyed. You're not just dead, you get erased from history.

I love that 99% of the drawings in the daycare are all at least mildly creepy and then there's just V1 from Ultrakill

You missed one ending. There’s a variation of ending 1 if you fail to fight Alu and kill Lisa; instead of agreeing to become Garcia’s student, John declines, but then Garcia aims his shotgun at him and forces him into the car.

Props to lisa, just crawled out of a fatal demonic possession that mangled her body and her first thought is to have a smoke. Iconic.

I love the detail in the endings where if you don't fight the true boss, a miserable John joins Garcia, with no other options, as a student and sits in the backseat; but in the best ending he chooses to join him as equals, and they sit together in the front to face down whatever comes as a team.

god there is something so uncanny about how simplistic this game feels after you experience the jaw-dropping animations. they truly feel out of place, to the point where they stop feeling "wrong" and start feeling scary, evil

I can't believe the most evil thing about Gary isn't the fact that he's a creepy demon thing, but a landlord to top it off

"GARY DOES *NOT* LOVE YOU!" Manly: "You bastard!" I don't know why i laughed at this.

The infinite "priest-tied-to-hospital-bed" glitch is amazing. John and his buddies, John, John and John decided to return to an abandoned clinic to wheel around the basement by struggling in a hospital bed because none of them want to the one who pushes the bed.

Gary's speech to Amy translated: "My Amy" "The chosen woman within all" "Together the Moon and the Cup and the Bird" "Together with the Mother and daughter and unclean spirit" "MY PROFANE TRINITY" John's speech to Amy translated: "In the name of the Father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit"

This third game, the finale to FAITH, had a lot riding on it. Development took a fair amount of time, and that demo only raised people's expectations. As far as I'm concerned, those expectations were met and exceeded. This is such a good final chapter to this story. Great tension, weird boss fights (who expected the babies?), the expected incredibly bleak bad ending, and some true hope in the good endings. It's downright impressive. John and Manly have looked the devil in the eye and wondered why they didn't just use the shotgun from the start. Airdorf, you did spectacular.

I love that one note where there's the other evil priest trying to summon Lovecraftian horrors, and Gary's response like "nah, dawg, Cthulhu is cool and all, but Satan is where it's at!"

Lisa: "John, you're alive! Oh, I'm so happy! Why don't we go home and put this all behind us? We can finally be calm knowing all the danger is done and-" Garcia: "Demons?" John: "Demons." *Shakes hands with utmost manliness*

Man super crazy to think we've now reached the finale of this amazing trilogy. Some might not think its perfect but Faith definitely cemented itself as a unique indie horror.

Love that Manly missed being hit by a truck and immediately restart to get hit

1:20:15 I love how all the children made hell creatures drawings and this kid went "screw that, im gonna draw an epic robot"

1:29:30 more secrets, and probably some of the scariest stuff I've seen in these games: If you were to check out more rooms in the house before leaving, you would find Amy's parents dead. Also if you go down to the basement you get a very chilling sequence with Father Allred. IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, FATHER WARD

out of all the references in this chapter, i didn’t expect to see loss

Father Garcia is the realest G out there for real. Cross in one hand, shotty in the other, God's will be done, that man is a general in the army of the Lord.

Little details in the car ride between Ending 2 and 1 - in endings 2, John readily drives the car. Ending 1, since he hasn't experienced and tested his faith enough to have believed in himself, he's still shaken up and affected by the trauma, which is why father Garcia has to drive while he sits in the back. I also like the little explanation as to why John moves slow as hell. It's such a small detail but makes so much sense.

1:57:56 Father Garcia's entrance is probably my favorite moment in the series especially after being built up over 3 games. The way he arrives by shooting Gary in the head, and then standing like Archangel Michael with his sword of fire, announcing himself like an angel, "Don't be afraid!" Through practically the whole game (And the series) you've dealt with helpless victims, babies, mental patients, expectant mothers, preschoolers, impressionable and drugged out youth, grooming victims, people outnumbered. You yourself are rather helpless, save for your faith, and in this chapter you're more helpless than ever more often as you lose your cross and get strapped to a medical stretcher, etc, and so when Father Garcia shows up with a shotgun and blasts Gary announcing himself with a "Don't be afraid!" it's like an angel descending upon you, flaming sword in hand, and finally all that helplessness has turned around, a truly righteous warrior of God, who knows evil must die, that which profanes against the Holy Spirit being beyond salvation and is to be slain with God's wrath. It is just so cool, these games always creep me out and make me jumpy but Father Garcia dispelled all that jumpiness and fear, and then the ending where John decides to join him to kill demons, it's so perfect, faith shining bright, the devil's trickery overcome, and John's fear and giving in to the temptations and pleading with the devil, destroyed, and Father Garcia teaming up with an empowered and faithful John, to basically become a duo of Doom slayers. It's just so hype, it's so worth it. That, and John setting himself ablaze to finally end the unholy trinity, with his extreme and fervent faith, the flames not harming him as he carries out God's work, are just perfect touches.

You forgot one ending variation. If you do the neutral path where you block the profane sabbath using the coffin, you can either go with Garcia willingly, or Garcia will raise his shotgun at you and force you to go fight demons because you lost willpower.

I've never been so excited to see Faith in it's full horror/thriller glory. This is the one of the greatest indie horror games I've ever witnessed. Thank you, Manly Kun

never imagined this game would become a bullet hell in the end, the genre in its literal form

I really like that as weak minded that john is and as not fit for battle he is, he still went to the deepest parts of the nightmare, the dev shows how human john is, also that he wasnt alone God was with him, at least thats my take and i really like that he is not supposed to be an experienced exorcist or warrior.

That ending screen where John is completely covered in blood saying "Amen" is so badass.

1:29:05 There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday There's a black hat caught in a high tree top 1:28:35 There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web 1:29:05 There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread 1:29:28 There's a black-winged gull with a broken back I should've guessed there would be a The Police King of Pain reference in here given that's the song they used in Faith 3's Trailer but my gosh the moment I caught on to the imagery that song blasted in my head. Absolute banger. Airdorf knew what he was doing.

I didn't notice this in my first playthrough, but during the fight with Gary, he uses his pitchfork like how John uses his cross. When he holds it up to John, he slows him down.

Damnatio memoriae is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory", indicating that a person is to be excluded from official accounts. Depending on the extent, it can be a case of historical negationism. There are and have been many routes to damnatio memoriae, including the destruction of depictions, the removal of names from inscriptions and documents, and even large-scale rewritings of history. The term can be applied to other instances of official scrubbing; in history the practice is seen as long ago as the aftermath of the reign of the Egyptian Pharaohs Akhenaten in the 14th century BC, and Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC.

For those who don't know: Jakob is the main antagonist of Dusk. The "pet" is an Abomination, one of the demonic enemies.

This game never ceases to amaze me when John picks up the note 2:24:25 in the room where he keeps Amy it says on that he has some sort of injury on one of his legs that remains to hinder his walking and it makes SOO much sense as to why his movement speed is so slow. The attention to detail is absolutely amazing I can’t.

1:30:31 Fun fact, JOHN, The Priest actually killed all those people. The blood trail entering that place leads back to him, Also if you stay for a little longer you can hear one of the cultists say "The Holy Man", and there's also the word "REPENT" on the wall. The fact he did all of that because of Gary's injection is terrifying

I've been more excited to watch manly play this than I can admit verbally

Fun fact: Malphas the 39th demon of the Ars Goetia, is as a mighty Great President of Hell, with 40 legions of demons under his command and is second in command under Satan. He appears as a raven, but if requested, will instead resemble a man with a hoarse voice. Malphas is said to build houses, high towers and strongholds, throw down the buildings of the enemies, destroy the enemies' desires or thoughts and all that they have done, give good familiars, and quickly bring artificers together from all places of the world. Malphas accepts willingly and kindly any sacrifice offered to him, but then he will deceive those who summoned him.

Starting off with an old priest and a young priest, this one's gonna be even more wild! The animated bits look fantastic! That 8-bit Gnossienne is so good.

I love that in the hide sequence around 13:30 the devs just casually put Loss in the curtains xD

2:28:17 Has me messed up bro. The culmination of a series of colossal failures, being deemed unforgivable by both God and the Devil, before being eradicated from the fabric of reality.

1:20:14 - Unexpected Ultrakill reference! the person who drew it is also named "arsi" in reference to hakita (the creator of ultrakill) as well, neat touch for a neat game!

1:51:04 “in the name of the Lord, I demand to know what the HELL IS GOING ON HERE!”

Honestly, if I were to be transported into a horror game, I'd pray to god that Manlybadasshero isn't the player controlling me, because DAMN the guy has no sense of self-preservation and would probably walk me into the monster.

2:24:25 "Diminished mobility from childhood injury to right knee" ah so that explains why he's controls so slowly

I dunno but the way how John just went “I’m leaving now” to the horror he bumbled in on is so great 😂

My favorite part of this game is when the priest said it's mortis time and started morting all over the place.

The death at 1:21:13 is hilarious to me. John soaks more bullets than Murphy at the start of Robocop, and the cops are positioned to the point that they'd hit each other. It can't have been unintentional, Airdorf knew what they were doing.

Father Garcia with the badass save was my favorite part. And how they got Atari voice to sound like an actual Spanish man was cool too.

Your commentary on the player character and the player hardening over the duration of the series is why all horror game franchises eventually become action horror if they have the same protag. Player agency is key in video games and violence is a method of achieving and expressing agency. People fight, it's what they do. A person eventually becomes numb to the fear and starts getting angry. Eventually, you're going to do enough steroids to kill a bull and start punching boulders.

Awesome final chapter! I found a neat (maybe new) secret death in the apartments: I was inputting the elevator code needed to fight Tiffany and when I got for floor 5, a purple lady was waiting behind the elevator door when it opened and casually stood at the door. I regained control of John again, but when I moved she instantly ran at me and jumpscared me (like, actual jumpscare) and I died. I have no idea if she can be survived or what exactly triggered it, since when I tried to recreate it I couldn't get her to appear again, as the code just worked as it should. From my understanding, I believe this wasn't in the demo? Not sure, that was a while ago and I'm too lazy to confirm it. I wonder how many more secrets are left though. Good video as always Manly!

airdorf really outdid himself this time. this is such an amazing trilogy. loved seeing how the rotoscoping worked! and loved seeing the abominations!

The hallucination after Gary jabs you is interesting, because a lot of it's directly lifted from the lyrics to "King of Pain," the song that Airdorf used for one of Chapter III's trailers. A black spot on the sun, a black hat caught in the high tree top, a butterfly caught in a spider's web... it pretty much adapts the whole song. I wonder what any of it means in the context of FAITH's story aside from the musical reference?

Manly in Faith 1: AAA TRUCK NO Manly in Faith 3: You get back here and run me over this instant. Favorite character development.

Hang on a minute... is Jakob that's talking to Gary... is that the bad guy from DUSK? It looks exactly like him and the note seems to imply it is him. Holy shit, is Faith in the Dusk verse? Who's the 3rd guy then? Looks like something out of Gloomwood.

I think the phrase "Gary Loves You" is another iteration of the another phrase "God Loves You". But its just replaced so probably Gary is ascending or have ascended to "godhood" somehow.

Love the fact that, for a majority of this, instead of music, it’s the sound of a growing storm. Like first, it’s just rain with some thunder in the background, then the thunder grows louder, like the storm is coming closer to the apartments, and then finally, what I can only assume to be the wind picks up, like it’s threatening to blow the whole building down.

2:02:44 Best plot twist ever

lmao i like how lisa decide to smoke after being possesed and almost killing John.

1:49:46 This was it. This was the moment Amy died, and just as he swore, he will carry the burden of his failure for the rest of his life. This is why Ending 2 was so important, the details in everything from the blood being washed off of him to Lisa returning to his life. He's finally free, and as was promised, he can finally go back home in peace. This game also reveals why Lisa is so important - she's been there with him from the beginning. That girl faced down hell itself to stay by him. Her response to being possessed and almost murdered by her savior wasn't to run or break down. She stood there and told him to shake it off, then just had a cigarette after like she just had sex. You don't walk away from that. Put down the cross and pick up some bitches, John. God literally gave their blessing.

"Gary is a normal human being like you and me" Honestly, after hearing how Gary came to this world, I secretly hoped there would be a plot twist that our protag was Actually just like Gary. Came to this world through a hellgate, and fighting his fate this entire time. That's how he can end up looking so warped but manages to shifts back into a normal form like Gary can.

2:20:16 weird thing to notice but Fr. John is in the back seat in this ending. He's definitely riding alongside Fr. Garcia in the true end.

12:40 Dammit, the cursed markings on the curtains. The animations in this game are so fluid, it's just wild how well they're done!

God what a cool game, the story is absolutely phenomenal. The scares in part 3 were really good too like damn, there were some really freaky demons there. It was also really interesting getting to see a lot of unrelated NPCs too, like the cops, the hippies, etc., like it's really interesting see how everyone else is faring in this world of demons and cultists Oh yeah, one cool thing I noticed towards the end with the Profane Sabbath box is that the Hebrew on it reads dybbuk. I unfortunately can't read Arabic but I thought it was interesting seeing the Hebrew read basically "evil spirit"

I notice a very tiny detail toward the end of the third ending; When John is kneeling in front of Amy in the locked cross room, you can *just* see his hair has a rough texture, where normally it isn't. It's a little thing, but it's a way to visibly show John has had it rough in this ending that others wouldn't think about.

24:58 He looks SO done with this. Then the scream whilst going downstairs was hilarious. 26:21 Now he SOUNDS SOOOOO done with this.

1:59:00 fun fact, To the left of the purple box it says dijnn, a kind of demon in arabic. it's not necessarly the demons you would think of in the west however, as the "Dijnn Demons" have many diffrent myths surrounding them. The most common one being, well, the genie of the lamp. Which isn't really evil, but more magical in nature. however, islam during the time and even today is majorly against any kind of magic, as wielding such power is kind of considered sacrilegious. The other rumor I remember being that dijnn aren't demons but a being beyond our plain of existance that walk the earth but humans cannot see, but are not guardian angel, seraphim or demons. just something else that humans can't see or comprehend. The more technically correct translation of demon from english to arabic is "شيطان" pronounced like shaitan. That is the more accurate translation, however, it does mean devil, as in The Devil. I'm just here to share a walking language class because it's fun. Major props for the dev team for a really well done and detailed series. I usually dislike horror stories that focus on the religious but the team did amazing in making this series very engaging. the rotoscoping of the animations is also very nice. Also thank you manly for being an amazing archiever for indie horror. I've been following you for years (ever since I was 12..I'm twenty now, how time flies) andI wish many years of success for helping artist and devs reach the public.

I absolutely love that cover art in the left/right borders. That's so on brand with Atari 2600 games - they'd always have a really over-rendered cover art like that.

They definitely added a lot more references and humor this time around. I'm not sure if the humor took away or made more for the game for me, but they were still well-timed jokes that made me laugh. I also kind of like that they did something with the 'player takes too long to do important decision so meta commentary gets involved', and turned that into something that has serious consequences. Since he took too long to make the decision, the chance was stripped away from him.

1:20:14 caught me so off guard- I didn't expect an ultrakill reference there, let alone for manly to not get it lmao

At about 1:38:47, while the Cultist is transforming, Manly hits it with the crucifix and it causes it to transform into the title screen for 'FAITH: the Unholy Trinity.' I think there isn't a thing in the code for it having a damage sprite as well as a transformation sprite, so it transforms into the title screen for a split second.

1:21:10 I laughed so hard. The humor in this game is rare but amazing.

I love how the developer makes use of rotoscoping to make the animated bits feel extremely uncomfortable Addendum; I love how the first fight with Garry is a priest-to-priest battle, it seems like the pitchfork does the same thing as the cross alongside the added bonus of summoning wacky demon fellas

Could timmy have been saved or is he doomed to follow his imaginary friend forever? Kinda sad, but hopefully exorcising that body in 7a helped little man move on

For those who are curious about the half ring of white things around the seal room, it’s either salt or rice, since both are white and they are both used to seal demons in western and eastern mythology respectively ( one of the rings is broken, showing that the seal is broken, but the other one isn’t, showing that the demon hadn’t excaped the room)

What I love about this game and the ending 2 is that John had believed or described that his faith has been dwindling ever since the nightmares and the encounters he faced Which is funny, considering not only he exorcises a bunch of demons, he fought off cultists (plus kudos to Father Garcia for that also with his mighty holy shotgun) and fought off Super Miriam, which is the epitome of high ass authority of a demon and walk it off after finally freeing Amy from suffering I'd say John's faith is higher than what he anticipated, man's a walking chad

25:28 I laughed so hard at that

In the first, John going to go finish what he did in the past. The third is a beautiful conclusion to Amy and our questions (for the most part). And the second's John's weird acid-trip of a dream where he sacrifices himself to the devil sometimes.

seeing a red cross out the window in an empty room after boarding an elevator.... the elevator game??? the references in this game are just amazing. such a love letter to indie horror and internet creepypasta culture. BRAVO!!!

Omg he found it, he found the boss baby

I love it when they actually record the dialogue as it is written and then just filter it into gibberish, but you can faintly make out the words still

The “father Garcia’s doomslayer” ending is the perfect ending

The baby room is downright terrifying. I'd argue it's the scariest part out of all the Faith chapters.

didnt get all of them, just the ones once i remembered to translate. might go back and translate all of them 1:12:22 - "I can't go" 1:37:05 - "we were like what you are" "what we are, you will be" 1:38:47 - (red text that flashed on screen) FAITH The Unholy Trinity 1:40:21 - farewell, lost soul 1:52:27 - "Vessel" flashes to the word "victim" for a split second 1:52:37 - "journey" flashes to the word "despair" for a split second 1:52:57 - "enter" flashes to the word "abuse" for a split second 1:53:51 - "Vessel" flashes to the word "victim" for a split second 1:54:25 - "kneel" flashes to the word "decay" for a split second 2:09:25 - "Amy... my Amy... Chosen Woman Below All, Together Moon and Cup and Bird, Together Mother and Daughter and Unclean Spirit, MY PROFANE TRINITY." 2:10:56 - "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen" 2:28:34 - "damnation of memory"

Something I noticed between Ending 1 and Ending 2. In ending 1, John is sat behind Father Garcia, in self admittance that he is not as strong as Garcia. In ending 2, if you go hunt some demons with Father Garcia, John is sat up front with him. In facing Amy, and becoming absolute in his FAITH, John became an equal to Garcia. That's a nice touch.

Not gonna lie, I totally thought there would be a special ending if you got to the end of John's prayer for divine intervention in the final battle against et Mater.

I also had a landlord named Gary, this explains so much about why he was a demon

The amount of animations and how high quality they are genuinely astounds me every time. Just from visual presentation alone, this game is fantastic.

i used to be so obsessed with this series and i used to watch manly's playthrough of it back to back to back. so im so happy its back, ive been waiting since the last demo

30:36 "No one messes with this senator...I mean, priest." Ah, the classic moment where the protag tries to say something cool after the final battle and just completely botches it.

13:34 I love this little detail with LOSS written with blood on the curtain

1:53:51 bit creepy how the word Vessel glitches and says "victim" occasionally

Can you imagine this releasing during the time of Atari? Kids would have their minds blown and their pants pissed.

1:46:30 Faith and DUSK happen in the same universe confirmed 1:47:38 Damn they even went out to make a pixelized version of The Horror. Wish it had that sickening crunch tho

I just realized There is a reason why Ending 2 has two option If you save Lisa, you can choose to live your life together But if you *LET THE DEMON KILLED HER* The only option is to be the Demon Hunter with Father Garcia. Sort of like an atonement for your sin letting Lisa die. That's a neat detail.

i like how in the Mortis cutscene for the Gary boss fight where he becomes the new vessel, Father Ward's white clerical collar (the little white square) was removed edit - another little detail i noticed: in some areas- such as when you're speaking with Tiffany or inside apartment 7A- there's a deep but faint pulsing (John's heartbeat, perhaps?) in the background. it's very easy to miss without headphones

1:19:25 Hey that's the little game Airdorf made, "SUMMER NIGHT" 1:39:44 So this is the part where the game tells you how to defeat Miriam in the secret final boss battle My favorite part is at 1:49:47, that John, despite being a demon-ass-kicking doom slayer we know now, in the past he had felt fear, thus reminding us the fact that he is still a normal human being, just like you and me. And maybe Gary, too. And although the good ending, which I suppose mean that John's faith has grown stronger, it is good, and it makes sense for the plot, but I personally like the bad ending, where John seemed to have lost all his faith, is much cooler. John, being regretful, got wiped out of existence from the world Since there's a lot of information in this game and I couldn't understand them all very well, I'm gonna ask some questions: 1. Who's that huge entity in the room with Timmy? Why is it wearing a crown, holding a snake and a dagger, and having the same smile as the elevator friend? Is it related to the elevator friend? And by the context of the note after exorcising the entity, how did Timmy died so that someone is trying to revive him by collecting bodies? 2. I know one of them is Jakob, but who's the other person in Gary's photo? 3. Is the floating face demon related to John's psychiatrist or some sort? During the encounter the screen is flashing with inkblots from the Rorschach test and upon contact, John (or only his mind) will be trapped in a padded cell, with straitjackets on 4. Is the Unholy Trinity, the three guarding the seal to the crucible - which are the demon with babies, Tiffany, and the face demon - or they are Gary, Malphas, and Amy (since Gary said that Miriam is no longer suitible so I guess it would be Amy then) 5. I have noticed that John doesn't remember the twins' room in his dream, there are several mentions stating that the twins are either just imagination or miscarried, and in the bad ending Michael and Amy are holding John in the twins' room in front of two mannequins, but do they actually exist? And why are they so important? Hope one day we'll get a DLC or a spinoff to solve these mysteries

Since you sounded confused, Manly-senpai, here is a little explanation for the term "Damnatio Memoriae" you encountered in this game: it is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory", indicating that a person (or thing, religion, etc...) is to be excluded from official accounts. Depending on the extent, it can be a case of historical negationism. It was often attempted when a new religion or main culture took over an existing one, with book burning, destruction of cult places and so on... Not sure if it being in this place implies that the cult is way older than we think or that the cultists want to erase all proof of the existence of their sacrifices and people like John.

A lot of amazing moments in this one! FAITH really encompassed the creepiness of lacking details with its mix of Atari-style 8bit visuals and rotoscoped cutscenes. But the story also continues to impress me. Father John's character gains more depth as we see him reach the threshold of how much he can push past his fear, how much his guilt is haunting him (depending on the ending, figuratively or literally). And how his genuine faith helps him keep himself together without making him invincible. Gotta say, though, the long build up to Gary really paid off well in the finale. The ultimate subversion to punctuate just how done he is with John, was kinda chilling.

1:20:14 Is the Main character of the Early indie game ULTRAKILL. The main character that dives into the depths of hell and tears it open DOOM STYLE. I love the references in this game

What's interesting is the role of God in this one, if you do not put trust in him he is willing to let Satan take over the world And oppositely Amy becoming a vessel and being possessed doesn't completely stop her from having free will, kinda like how Micheal being possesed by a demon makes him a horrible creature, but alas free from the cult and the unspeakable
