Welcome to Excommunic-April where we are covering religious and Catholic horror all month long. And there's no better place to start than the 2022 video game compilation, Faith: The Unholy Trinity developed by Airdorf Games and published by New Blood Interactive!
We gush about rotoscoping, hot priests, computer voices, and the incredibly effective pray-em-up mechanics of this righteously difficult arcade adventure game.
Mark your calendars for the May the Fierce Protect You drag brunch of galactic proportions, hosted by Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast where all proceeds will benefit the He/She/Ze/We charity. Live stream and in-person tickets are available now.
This podcast is a proud part of the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective.
