About this game

“An ex-priest who shoots demons with an 12-gauge and has a cross that exorcises possessed people”
Storyline
You are an ex-priest who needs to find his faith again and face dangers on this journey. You control Pedro, the main character of the plot. In this adventure you need to exorcise demons, kill monsters and face dangers from the afterlife, using specific weapons for each type of enemy. The cross exorcises demons, the pistol kills weak monsters and the shotgun (12-gauge) shoots blessed bullets to send the demons back to hell in the most brutal style!

Psychiatric Hospital - "Barbacena" Colony (Minas Gerais/Brazil):
The game is based on a real location in Brazil during an extremely dark period: the "Colônia de Barbacena" (in the state of Minas Gerais). It is estimated that around 70% of the patients were undiagnosed with any kind of mental illness. What happened in the hospital has come to be called the “Brazilian Holocaust”. It is estimated that at least 60,000 people died in the Barbacena Colony Hospital (source: Wikipedia).

Main features:
Dark and surreal visuals
Dive into a semi-realistic atmosphere of fear and unease, created by a fusion of the real world and the “other side”.
Atmospheric sounds
The game uses stereo sound for better immersion. Noises, screams, groans, footsteps... everything can be considered an immersive experience!
Puzzles, kicking down doors and more!
Why open a door using a key when you can open it by sitting on it? Or by running towards it and kicking it? Enter the world and act as you wish, open with the key or with your foot. Face dark and challenging puzzles. Drag furniture around to find secret passages. Use Luminol reagent to find hidden blood trails and unravel mysteries.
Scary encounters
Face various supernatural entities such as monsters, demons and possessed people, each with their own unique appearance and behavior, which reflect the fears and traumas of these characters while alive.
Evolving narrative
The game is based on a real location in Brazil, the Hospital Colônia de Barbacena. The narrative is based on the horrors experienced by patients during the hospital's operation in the 80s.
“You can lose a battle, you can lose hope, even your strength, but you can never lose faith!”

Wishlist launch and updates
Wishlist launched! Well folks, big day here at PandaLoko GameStudio! Today, June 4th, we launched the homepage for the game The Colony, so you can add the game to your wish lists. We look forward to your participation! In the meantime, we're working on small updates for the release of our playable demo, so stay tuned: Updates: ## - May/2025 #added - cemetery map - new enemies: - "screamer" - the enemy's scream deals damage to the player - "soul sucker" - when it gets close to the player it grabs and sucks out the soul, dealing very high damage, you can't kill it, just run away. - system to "see through the enemy's eyes": it is now possible to press a key and possess an enemy quickly (to see its location). This helps you strategize for places where combat is not possible, only escape along a directed path. - sanity system - in-game cutscenes - notify system (picking up items on the map generates notification of the item collected) - Portal-style puzzle (with rays that reflect and trigger a sensor), for a certain part of the "Hospital" map #changed - improvements to the initial stage (apartment) - improvements to the inventory system, now containing navigation tabs - improved visual system for multiple inventory filters (helps to filter items of a certain type or several, displaying only the desired types) - makes it possible to hide the hud, but keep notifications on the screen - changed HUD layout, minimalist but keeping missions active - improvements to the weather system #removed - punji trap (still being considered for removal)Read full article on Community Announcements (pandalokostudio)
