Reception

Reception for Faith has been positive.[6][7] Rock Paper Shotgun's Noa Smith called the game "one of those little treasures you stumble across on your monthly horror binge."[8] A journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle's Datebook praised the use of retro graphics, writing that "The sudden acceleration into full motion from jerky two-frame animation is jarring enough for a jump scare but still empty enough that players are forced to ask what it is that is attacking them."[9]
