The Ritual

About

The Ritual is a third-person survival horror game where you investigate a school overrun by demons. Armed with limited resources, you must scavenge for weapons, evade relentless pursuers, and piece together the mystery behind the school's demonic infestation. The game emphasizes tense decision-making, engaging in combat risks drawing attention while running and hiding buys you time to regroup. What sets The Ritual apart is its focus on balancing action and stealth. The school setting becomes a character itself, with its decaying halls amplifying the sense of dread. Players must manage limited ammo and health, forcing strategic choices. Scheduled for release in September 2024, it builds on developer SmartOliveGames' reputation for tight horror mechanics and atmospheric tension.
