The Church in the Darkness is an "action-infiltration" game set inside a religious cult in the 1970s. The game revolves around an ex-law enforcement officer named Vic who attempts to get inside an isolated religious colony called "Freedom Town" to check in on his sister's son, Alex. The leaders, Isaac and Rebecca Walker of the "Collective Justice Mission", preach socialism and sustainable agricultural living in a Christian society. They are voiced by the couple, John Patrick Lowrie and Ellen McLain. The story unfolds through Isaac and Rebecca's regular updates on the camp's public announcement system.
Some elements of the game are procedurally generated, with each start changing people's allegiances, beliefs, and camp layout.
The game's premise arises from Rouse's lifelong fascination with cults. Rouse has been a fan of "open-narrative" games since the mid-'80s and he was "stunned" to see the many popular games of 2016 with fixed narratives. The game has been said to have "very obvious echoes of Jonestown". Rouse was particularly intrigued by the Source family, a spiritual commune in the late 1960s which was situated in the Hollywood Hills.
As of August 18, 2019, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions have metascores of 56/100 and 59/100, respectively, at Metacritic. The Switch and Microsoft Windows versions do not yet have enough reviews to give a meaningful score.
