Nunholy ((new)) Now
Ready to fall from grace? Nunholy is available now on Steam, GOG, and via the developers’ official Patreon. Just remember: In the House of the Lord, every shadow prays.
However, the game’s development wasn't without hurdles. Early in its lifecycle, the project faced scrutiny over its use of AI-assisted tools for certain assets—a hot-button issue in the indie community. Despite this, the game’s distinct identity and polished gameplay eventually won over skeptics, leading to its recognition as a standout indie title in late 2025. Gameplay and Community Impact Nunholy
In an indie landscape crowded with retro shooters and souls-likes, Nunholy stands out not for reinventing the wheel, but for covering it in thorns, black robes, and righteous gore. Developed by a small team with clear love for Bloodborne ’s gothic dread and Blasphemous ’s religious grotesquery, Nunholy casts you as Sister Agnes — a nun whose convent has been overrun by eldritch corruption. Your mission? Purge the unholy with a mix of martial skill and desperate prayer. Ready to fall from grace
According to the lore, the convent did not fall to outside invaders. It fell to a miracle gone wrong. The Mother Superior, desperate to cure a plague, prayed to a forgotten saint—one that existed before God, sleeping beneath the earth. The answer came not as a cure, but as a hunger .

Where Nunholy stumbles is enemy variety and camera behavior in tight corridors. By the third area, you’ve seen most attack patterns, and the lock-on can betray you when backpedaling into a corner. Still, boss fights are highlights: a weeping angel statue that only moves when you blink (mechanically, when your stamina refills), and a defiled cardinal who recites verses that manifest as homing projectiles.
