"A monk returns to the monastery one day to find that it has been sacked and its holy relic stolen! The monk takes up his old crossbow for one last hunt."


Black Relic is a dark, atmospheric third-person shooter about a monk who must hunt down the pagan cultists who have stolen the holy relic of his order, which he is sworn to protect. It was created as part of Dread X Collection: The Hunt, which is a collection of 7 spooky shooters by some of the best indie horror developers out there.


The gameplay was inspired by classic third-person shooters, such as Resident Evil 4, with its slower, weighty, intentional approach to combat, rather than the run-and-gun style of some others. Your only weapon is your crossbow, which only gets one shot before you must take the time to reload it. Timing and positioning are key if you want to survive the constant menace of the servants of the old gods.
