Feardemic is here to scratch your horror Itch! The horror publisher will soon offer their titles on itch.io, starting with their Free-To-Play retro shooter - Cathedral 3-D

It’s alright, you can step away from the mirror as there’s no need to keep saying “Feardemic on itch.io”, it finally happened. That’s right, the horror publisher’s portfolio is coming to itch, and the first in line is Cathedral 3-D. The old-school arena shooter where it’s you who plays as the monster can be yours at a premium price of zero dollars as it has recently gone free-to-play.

It’s halfway through 2022 and the online gaming market is broader than it ever was so it’s no surprise that videogame publishers want their fans to have as much flexibility in accessing their catalog as possible. That is one of the reasons why Feardemic has moved to make its portfolio available on itch.io. Another being, of course, that Itch has become a premium destination for fans of horror, the narrative genre which is Feardemic’s bread and butter.

And what better candidate for their first game on a new platform, than Feardemic’s fast-paced free-to-play endless arena, Cathedral 3-D. It lets the people unfamiliar with Feardemic sample one of their titles for free while offering the prior fans a chance to access their favorite title through the store of their choosing. And what a title it is, Cathedral 3-D is a single-player retro arena FPS where all that matters is survival and getting that high score but there’s a twist - unlike in most shooters, you are the monster. That’s right, you, the player, are the bad guy, a terrifying creature who has forsaken their humanity to gain power, having to remove their heart in the process. Now the puny humans, who could never understand your reasons, have come to banish you from their realm, and you must defend yourself and the cathedral you made your home… with fire.
