The game is set in the late 1900s, a period the developer says saw a peak in exorcism cases, and supports single-player and online co-op for up to four players.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exorcism process unfolds in three stages: purification, evidence gathering, and the ritual itself. Starting the exorcism before completing all objectives angers the spirit and strengthens the possession. Players must also manage their exorcist\u0026#39;s sanity, which drops during long indoor stays and can be restored by praying or going outside. Medkits heal allies or revive fallen companions, and traps, crosses, holy water, and sacred books offer protection.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe demo includes a case involving a 60-year-old man named John, who speaks a foreign language and shows symptoms like weight loss and a deeper voice. The developer cites The Exorcist, The Conjuring, Phasmophobia, and Demonologist as inspirations, and uses Unreal Engine 5.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Unpossess 2: Exorcism Simulator hits Early Access on August 21 (August 22 in Japan).
