The premise, in the publisher's words
After losing your position as a priest for the Vatican, you find yourself employed for a shady company. You've been hired to perform exorcisms on all sorts of entities. The only thing you can't seem to understand is...why do they all haunt video games? The Retro Exorcist is a narrative-focused visual novel centered around a former priest as he attempts to exorcize a plethora of haunted video game discs and cartridges. In order to set these entities free, you must ask them several questions to learn more about their past lives.
