Greetings, Cultists!
On this most hallowed day, The Ancient Ones have truly blessed us; our minds are about to complete the descend into absolute Madness, as a prophecy has come true - Forgive Me Father 2 is now out of Early Access, and we can witness more of the Priest's quest. But in this strange reality, who is to say if it's the end?
Launch Trailer:
It has been an astonishing journey since the start of our Early Access last year, and we wouldn't have been able to complete it without your continuous support and your engagement! We are proud to have such a loving community and are tremendously happy to finally show you the full product.
In the two large Content Updates we've released, we have added 4 new levels, 5 new enemies and a bossfight, alongside new weapons and Dark Tome pages. The full release is the biggest update yet, since it's even larger than both of the previous ones combined - get ready to delve into 5 new levels and 2 additional boss fights, face against 6 never before seen nightmarish enemies and blast them to oblivion with a whopping 9 new weapons, not to mention a book's worth of additional Dark Tome pages, granting you both active and passive Madness abilities.
But that’s not all - the old levels have also received various updates and improvements, in both design, visuals and enemy encounters. If that doesn't convince you to start a new playthrough and revisit your old stomping grounds, consider also the fact that we have added cutscenes and new story elements, the character is now fully voiced and new localizations have been added too, you can find them all in the Change Log below. We wholeheartedly recommend you start a new game and enjoy the Forgive Me Father 2 in its full glory, even if you have already finished all the Early Access content!
But of course, while the full release may possibly be the end of the Priest's journey, it is not the end of our development efforts. We are still here to take your feedback, fix any bugs and technical issues you encounter - if you have any such reports, suggestions or complaints, please let us know here on Steam or join our Discord, where you can chat with other Cultists as well as the development team!
If, on the other hand, you like the game and are having fun, please consider writing a review here on Steam. Recommending Forgive Me Father 2 to other players is the absolute best way to support our efforts. You may also consider buying the newly released Artbook or Soundtrack for Forgive Me Father 2 - if you would like to get both at the same time, the best deal is to purchase the Deluxe Edition of the game (this will grant you an additional discount even if you got the game during Early Access already).

Last but not least, to celebrate this occasion, we are running a Forgive Me Father Franchise sale - check it out especially if you haven't got the original yet, as there are juicy discounts running until November 4th! You can of course enjoy the maddening story of Forgive Me Father 2 on its own, but passing on the chance to experience it in its entirety, from the start of the original game; would be true insanity.
