About this game
Demonic possessions are increasing all over the land. You are a priest being trained by the church to perform exorcisms. Equipped with your Exorcism Book and a case of Holy Relics you are sent to aid the afflicted population.
Demonic possessions
The land is being overwhelmed by evil. In each chapter of the story you will travel to a different village, and it is your duty as an exorcist to cast all demons out.
Travel and experience events
Your Abbey is the only holy refuge for the villages around it. Each village will present different scenarios and possessed villagers. Exorcising the possessed is your main task, but animals and the land itself are also being corrupted. You will have to handle all of them.
Unique events can reward you with powerful relics that once belonged to saints and martyrs.
Book of exorcisms
Your book contains information about all demons and demonic signs manifested by the possessed. Find the page that matches the current demonic sign and select the correct holy relic to counter the demon's actions.
As you gain experience, you will know the book by heart and will truly feel as a bona fide exorcist.
Holy Relics
You will be equipped with six holy relics: Crucifix, Blessed Candles, Holy Water, Anointing Oil, Incense and Salt. Each relic has a unique minigame that you must complete to counter a demonic sign.
As you travel to different locations, you may find new relics that can have a decisive impact on the outcome of minigames.
Empower your Relics
After liberating a village from evil, its inhabitants will give you offerings as a token of their gratitude. These offerings can be used to upgrade your relics, giving you an ever increasing advantage against the demons.
Multiple endings
Not all exorcisms will end successfully and some souls will be lost. The amount of lost souls and your choices will determine what kind of ending you will get.

Patch 1.0.3 - Vade Retro Daemonium!
Fellow exorcists!The ones of you familiar with St. Benedict's medal in real life are wondering why the in-game inscription is V R D (instead of V R S from the real medal). We see this being asked many times.The real medal says Vade Retro Satana (Begone Satan). In the world of Ritus Exorcismus, Satan is just one of 7 demons, so we changed the inscription to Vade Retro Daemonium (Begone Demon), to refer to any demon.So, you are correct in pointing out that the inscription is "wrong", but the change is intentional to better fit the game's lore.With all that said, some in-game books mentioned the real inscription instead of our own. Patch 1.0.3 fixes that and makes the inscription consistent everywhere.Hope that makes things more clear.Vade Retro Daemonium!Read full article on Community Announcements (Dernhelm Games)AnnouncementsOfficial
