Unpossess: Exorcism Simulator news & patch notes

Dear Steam Community,

As announced previously, Unpossess 2: Exorcism Simulator is officially in development!

You can now wishlist the game here:

I’d also like to share a more personal message with you, directly from me - the solo developer.

Unpossess 2 is the sequel to Unpossess, a game that unexpectedly made its way all over the internet among horror fans and content creators. Seeing people dress up as nuns and priests while playing the game was incredible - honestly, it meant more to me than I can put into words. That support and enthusiasm gave me the motivation to create a sequel.

This time, the game is set in the late 1900s, which allows for a much wider range of ideas and themes. Unpossess 2 builds upon the foundation of the first game while being developed in a newer version of Unreal Engine 5, featuring significantly improved graphics. I’m also expanding on the existing equipment and objectives to deliver a deeper and more immersive experience.

Feel free to follow me on Twitter and join our Discord community to stay up to date with the latest news and updates.

Thank you for all your support—I promise to make Unpossess 2 even better.
