Baroque Decay is bringing back a project it shelved more than a decade ago, and the Steam response to the June 2026 demo suggests the revived version has landed with players.

Baroque Decay's horror RPG Catechesis will release for PC in summer 2027, the studio said. The game was announced in 2013 as its first title before development was suspended when the project grew too large. A demo went out in June 2026 and holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 99% of more than 700 user reviews positive. The demo has been updated with a baseball minigame, a study minigame, and leaderboards.
Daniel is an altar server by day and a demon hunter by night, and the arrangement is worse than it sounds: he is possessed, and every good deed he performs opens a gateway to hell. Combat uses a top-down view with twin-stick aiming and evasion, plus stealth built around sound and light. The demo has been updated alongside the release window to add a baseball minigame, a study minigame, and leaderboards. Baroque Decay also plans playtests for the full version.
