Catechesis Resurrects from the Dead on its 10th Anniversary Announcement!

Watch on YouTube
Ten years ago, we released a teaser trailer for our first project, Catechesis. It was a small horror game that adapted Resident Evil mechanics with cute pixel art. To our surprise, we received an enthusiastic response that led to features on well-known websites like Kotaku and Polygon. Our trailer garnered thousands of views and built a devoted following of people eagerly anticipating this pixelated survival horror game. It was the early days of the Indie Game Scene.

However, as it was our first game, we ambitiously expanded its scope to the point where it became an impossible undertaking – a classic rookie mistake. Eventually, Catechesis was put on hold, and Baroque Decay shifted their focus to smaller projects like The Count Lucanor and Yuppie Psycho.

Now, ten years later and armed with more experience, we are thrilled to announce that Catechesis is back, and we're committed to completing what we started a decade ago.

SOUNDTRACK

The original soundtrack for "Catechesis" will be crafted by none other than Michael "Garoad" Kelly, renowned for his incredible work on "VA-11 HALL-A" and the eerie, surreal score of "Yuppie Psycho." With his unique talent, Kelly aims to deliver a one-of-a-kind musical experience that players simply can't resist.
