Father, Son & Holy Guns

[Demo Version] Father, Son and Holy Guns is a fast-paced roguelite multiplayer game set in a bizarre world where faith fuels firepower and every run tests your sanity!

*Some in-game features may differ from the full game.

When our gods hear no prayer, only bullets are the answer. Join the crusade against aliens as one of the Gunsaders of the Church. Team up with friends online and embark on holy missions to fend off the frantic hordes of cosmic horror, inspired by Lovecraft mythos. Burn the sinners. Extract the human-oil. And prove your faith to the Church Of Humanity.

The mysterious bullet shaped objects were found all over the world by various religious groups, granting them knowledge beyond their time. Such events propelled humanity into the age of industrial technology, controlled absolutely by the religious organizations, and quickly spurred the flame of crusade and expansion in the name of their gods.

But the greatest threat lies in shadow, beyond the farthest stars. Unknown powers, alien to our world, had already seeped across the lands and formed their own cults. The invasion of the Outer Gods put their petty conflicts to a sudden stop, and all barrels turned towards their common enemies. Thus, erected the Church of Humanity, the one true faith above all, the one of oil, steel and gunpowder. The battle of influence between earth and stars begins here. May the Bullet lead us to yellow light.

After a long history of bloody inquisition, The Church of Humanity successfully united servants of faith from all over the world under their iron wings to stand against the outworld threat together. And those who enact the will of the Bullet are known as the ‘Gunsaders’.

SISTER LILITH

The Gunsader of the Sanguine Dogma who wields hand-cannon (literally) as her weapon. Sister Lilith was an orphan raised by the blood cult who believes in strength gained by devouring life, and execution must be done by hand.This creed of red sisters is considered the most violent branch of the Church.

BROTHER VARUN JIWORNBAA KAHMAITAI

The eastern branch of the Church is generally seen as the more peaceful folks, they only serve as deacons, and rarely in the front line. But Brother Varun believes that true peace can only be achieved by annihilation of their enemies. With double shotguns and a rifle by his side, he preaches the best way he knows how.

FATHER PIERO

Father Piero claims he was once chosen by cardinals to hold the title of pontiff before the old faith was replaced by the Church of Humanity. He was one of a few survivors from the first invasion of Outer Gods, making him one of the longest serving Gunsaders to date. Father Piero built his gun-throne as a remembrance of the honor he once received from the bygone era, and never leaves it even amidst the battlefield.

SISTER KAMARA

As a shaman of the Pyre, Sister Kamara came from the flame worshiping dogma that believes death by fire is the holiest send off of souls. Her tribe, despite being small, holds the largest source of human-oil, of which they submit to the Church as offerings. She wields a flame-saw that can ignite the battlefield and bring light of the Church to the front line.

Frantic Co-op Adventure
The game features online co-op multiplayer through Steam, allowing up to 4 players to connect seamlessly. This enables collaborative gameplay, encourages community engagement, and increases replay value

Blessings (Upgrades) 

Create Countless Combinations!

A feature that players can upgrade their character in the gameplay but just temporary and unique on each run because all these upgrades will reset when the match is ended

Black Market — Mid-Run Upgrade Station

The deacon has a habit of scavenge dead Gunsaders and resell their stuff in The Black Market. You can randomly find him on the map, giving players the opportunity to purchase additional blessings, healing items, and other useful upgrades during the run.

and more!

There are many types of crusades you may embark on, for the glory of the Church:

• Elimination — The Eldritch Mark

Those who worship the outer gods put this mark upon their land as a way to commune with the stars. But as a Gunsader, the mark can sense your presence and send down monstrosity to stop you. This is the game’s most straightforward objective. Players must clear the area by defeating all enemies that spawn, making it a fundamental part of the core gameplay loop.

Each time player complete any objective, they’ll also gain ‘Human-Oil’. Possess enough of this and you’ll be able to use it to lure out the Gatekeeper of this land.

• Secure Area — Protect the Rite of Cleansing

  In this objective, players must defend The Eldritch Brain — a living artifact — from incoming alien forces. The goal is to defend the area while the Church’s novices are performing the cleansing ritual on the brain. But of course, it won’t comply so easily.
  
  

• Restore Yidhra’s Shrine — Healing Objective

Shrines of Yidhra are scattered throughout the world. Restoring the shrine of this outer god puts you in good grace of the Earth Mother and she shall grant you some ‘Nectars’ (healing potion) to help keep your crusade going.

Various sorts of madness await you in the crusade. There is no telling what kind of monstrosity can be born from the wretches who worship the Outer Gods with their profane, outlandish rituals. Or maybe, it is something in your mind that warps reality beyond senses. Has the world gone crazy, or have you, the one who gives blind faith to the ‘Church’?

…and much more awaits!
