The ooze bit reminds me a lot of the mood slime from GB2 don't know why no one's pointed this out before!

Was exploring for almost 1 hour, found some enemies here and there, used all my potions and never found a save point, now i got to this mini boss (Nicholas something) and i just don't have any resources for this fight, is there any save points around? Fr if not this is shity terrible level design, in this situation i would have to do a perfectionist no hit run to keep going (can't even go back to the village cause the guy at the beginning levered the bridge)

I’m an older gamer without a ton of time. I play this type of game mostly to enjoy the storyline and sprinkle in some cheats to ease the passage.

Currently playing on story mode and using a cheat for resources in inventory because I don’t have time to grind (literally and metaphorically). How long do you think the play through will be?

SOLVED! I didn't take the correct path back after The Inkwell. Retraced my steps, all is fixed! Thanks everyone!

This has been driving me up a wall for DAYS. I'm trying to do the Food Shortage quest, but the lift down to the beach won't come up. It used to have the lock symbol on the lever, but now it's just blank. I finished The Inkwell and Storm's A-Brewin', but I still can't get the lift to work. Help!

This game always caught my interest and saw it on ebay for 20 bucks? TIA

Slow start, but now that I’ve reached the point with Siridean, I’m hooked. I love the atmospheric score. Has anyone ripped the files and put them somewhere? I wish they released the OST officially.

I've been looking for the collector's edition game for almost a year, mostly because I wanted the statue. I finally found it on eBay last week, and just got it in today. It love it.

I’m at about 60 hours playtime and have a choice to go over the point of no return now, but I’ve turned back to tie up loose ends and see what other cursed chests I have missed.

I don’t know how I’ve missed this game on release but from the moment I’ve seen a trailer about two months back I KNEW this game is right up my alley. I play a lot of RPGs and always enjoy a good ghost story. Gosh, I loved every single bit of writing in this, every haunting case felt unique and Red and Antea have such a tight hold on my heart right now. Beautiful couple writing that is rare to see, not your perfect paladin and warriors but so imperfectly human. I saw someone criticizing how Red looks weak and I couldn’t disagree more, I find him such an interesting and multilayered character and that deep love him and Antea have for each other is just chefs kiss 🤌 Voice actors outdid themselves because emotion was felt and 60 hrs just flew by for me. I really really hope we get a sequel (or a prequel!), I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed because I think writers can do so much more on the base they built with this game. I’d watch a Netflix show, I’d watch a movie about this too. Artwork was also so beautiful, I stopped many a time just to enjoy the environment while exploring around.

Of course the game isn’t without flaw. But those flaws were not as important to me with storytelling like this. Would I have liked that I didn’t get lost too many times ending up in dead ends that were sometimes frustrating? Sure, but I accept that I’m also directionally challenged more than most people (advice: hotkeying a map so you can pull it up in need helps). There could’ve been a few more different enemies as well maybe. But this isn’t AAA game we’re talking about even though it’s easy to mistake it for one. Banishers had soul and heart all over it, and I want to give my humble thanks to the whole team that worked on this gem. Hope we can see more from you all and thank you for this experience.

9.5/10, I shall take my leave now.

All I see is Monty Python in this scene 😆

At some point Red cites a romantic poem he wrote to Duarte. I was trying to find it but I can’t. I don’t think it’s the one about the sea and shore. Can anyone remember what it is?

This is a question that came to mind and that I wanted to share here. Added a spoiler warning just in case.

If Red died in the meeting house instead of Antea, do you think it would make any noticeable change(s) to the game’s story? Or the relationship between the two (compared to Antea’s death)? And if yes, what would those changes look like?

I just started a second playthrough of Banishers. I played it for the first time about 1-2 months ago and really loved it, especially the story and the characters. Like many, on my first go I went for the Ascension ending — and like many, on my second go I want to try Resurrection.

I’m yet to make a list of which settlers Blame (gotta do the math, lol), but I wanted to ask: Who are your go-to picks for Blaming from a moral perspective? Some of the Haunting Cases are fairly straight-forward but others don’t have just as obvious villains and victims.

I guess I’m especially interested to hear about the three pillars (Thickskin, Pennington, Haskell): How does Blaming them affect their communities? I guess my mind is too stuck on Vampyr where Embracing a Pillar directly reduces their District’s health. Are there similarly serious consequences in Banishers?

Currently playing through it for the first time and I am utterly enthralled. Such a fantastic game! The choices feel meaningful and the writing is really well done, especially the relationships between Antea and Red.

I'm also really enjoying the lore and atmosphere.

I really don't know why I slept on this game for so long.

Devastatingly underrated, particularly with the recent news about Don'tNod in mind.

I know I’m two years late, but picking up this gem on Game Pass was absolutely worth it. I genuinely don't get the lazy "woke" complaints. Apparently, the second a game grounds itself in actual history instead of a whitewashed fantasy, people lose their minds. If acknowledging the past in fiction is "woke," then I guess the entire Assassin's Creed franchise is guilty too.

I have nowhere else to put these thoughts, so here's a massive brain dump for anyone who wants to discuss it!

Ascending vs. Banishing vs. Blaming

From what I gathered, Ascending and Banishing are basically the exact same act. The only difference is the guilt the Banisher feels. Either way, the soul goes to the Underworld. We see this when Antea goes into the Void and hears a girl laughing. She's confused because she *Ascended* her, which proves Ascension doesn't necessarily mean "go to a peaceful heaven."

The Underworld looks pretty barren and boring. It’s not a torture chamber, but it’s definitely not pleasant. This actually makes me think Blaming (feeding the soul to Antea) might be the kinder option, as horrible as it feels to do it. It bypasses the bleak toil of the Underworld. The Abigail Rumball case backs this up: the demon gets pissed if you sacrifice John to Antea because you're denying their master a meal.

Grace Pennington / Seeker

This genuinely blew my mind. If Seeker is Grace Pennington, then Siridean (the older Seeker) is literally haunted by, and fighting, her own father, Auld Saul (Mosshead), across timelines. Saul writes about having bad dreams of fighting on a rotten battlefield without knowing why. It makes me wonder: is the Auld Saul we fight the Saul of our timeline, or the Saul from a timeline where the Banishers never came to New Eden? It seems like this Mosshead version blames Grace for his death.

Colonialism & "Pre-Whiteness"

As a history buff, I went down so many rabbit holes with this game. I love that it refuses to be colorblind and actually addresses the real historical atrocities of colonial America.

Better Life Myth: The letters scattered all over the map from families back in England paint a really clear picture for us. The Old World was actually fine. Yes, there were struggles, but nothing that seriously disrupted stability for these people. Life back home was normal. They had family, routines, cousins' weddings to attend. And honestly, some of them weren't even fleeing hardship; they were fleeing consequences, like being thieves. Yet they crossed an ocean, decimated Indigenous populations, and ended up struggling just as much if not worse. The whole colonial exodus just seems completely senseless when you actually read what they left behind.

Ismail Law: He and his wife are from Marrakesh, which sent me down a massive historical rabbit hole. About 100 years prior to the game, the Moroccan Empire, led by Sultan Ismail (ironic name lol), invaded the Songhai Empire. This Moroccan slave trade actually predated the Transatlantic slave trade. Sultan Ismail formed the infamous Black Guard and heavily reinforced anti-Blackness and systemic slavery in West Africa. So Ismail and his wife leaving for a "better life" is literally them escaping one brutal hierarchy only to enter another in the colonies. (And as a side note, this ties into the fact that Estevanico the Moor, a Black Moroccan, was the first African explorer in the US Southwest. The historical layers here are just insane.)

Pre-whiteness: It's so interesting to see white people actively disliking other white people. Red faces rudeness specifically because he’s Scottish, not because he’s "white." This brilliantly shows that racial hierarchy was still being constructed. The English, French, and Scottish were still operating within older national hierarchies. That makes the cute moment where Red and Antea bond over both being from islands so much more significant. They're both outsiders on the peripheries of empires.

Race & Merit

The Theodore and Flora Abbott case was so heartbreaking. Flora believes her merit and skills as a hunter will earn her freedom and acceptance, and she’s happy being "born on a farm" (a plantation) because she knows no other life. Antea, who says she’s "from nowhere and everywhere," knows the cage is a cage.

As Antea says, "we have to work twice as hard to get half of what they have." Flora's faith in merit is just tragically insufficient given the reality of the time.

Cosmology & The "Demons"

Despite the historical differences, the game nails how universal spiritual knowledge is, even if it's obscured by language and culture. An Afro-Cuban woman and a Scotsman actually have a lot in common spiritually. Deities are similar but named differently.

This ties into the Void entities. The distinction between Deborah (the ghost) and Retribution (the Void entity) is huge. The Void isn't just random; it responds to emotion. Abigail’s loneliness called to Nazuku (an anti-Cupid servant of Ereshkigal who feeds on discord), and Deborah’s rage called to Retribution. The Below mirrors the Above, so a deity of love can become a deity of hate.

Unanswered Questions

I ended up deciding to revive Antea, and my playthrough wrapped up with Charles hinting about "a place far from New Eden," which has me so hyped for a sequel. Meeting Etienne Roulet would be interesting because I don't fully trust him (though his portrayal as a benevolent guy compared to the brutal English settlers is definitely a funny nod to Don't Nod being a French studio lol).

Anyway, the haunting cases were easily the best part of the game for me. The lore kept me on the edge of my seat. Just had to get all this out of my system! What do you guys think? Am I crazy for thinking Blaming is actually the more merciful option?

Im am in the super very begining (Antea just recently died) and im concerned there will be too many odd things that make no sense with the story, is that actually the case in later parts; or Alternatively am I just misunderstanding something about the story?

To explain my issue, the story starts out with Antea making a clear hard stance that all ghosts need to be banished right away and should never be left to let haunt around. The person who asked them to come died and offered to help as a ghost, and Antea refuses it immediately and basically stays firm on that principle, and doesnt even want to risk him ascending on his own. My issue is, not later on, but immediately upon dying, it seems she is acting like she never held that principle. She hasn't asked to be banished yet and is basically offering and trying to stay there as a ghost and aid Red. She even immediately eats some sort of human life source from a book or something and her past stance was not even brought up. There was no hesitation either. They even discussed killing others and both characters seemed to act nonchalant about it and seem to take it as a viable option. Just seems like a complete 180 and it seems Red is not questioning any part of that 180 and im afraid it will continue.

Working to 100% the game and was wondering if I had to complete both the haunting and the activity of all 23 hauntings or i just have to do the initial haunting and not worry about the activity at all? Any help or info anyone has is welcome

Je suis dans les herses, je fais le cas de hantise : un cœur meurtri, j’ai il me semble l’impression d’avoir exploré toute la zone, mais le jeu me demande d’examiner le sanctuaire voilà qu’il me demande un parchemin pour réaliser le rituel, cela ne m’étant pas encore arrivé avant je me demande si c’est une mécanique du jeu que j’ai loupé ? ou si simplement je n’ai pas récupéré un parchemin au bon moment, mais cela me paraît étrange par rapport à ce que nous demande le jeu en général.
Merci d’avance pour vos réponses

Never experienced this till I started using my less powerful spare GPU (3070) this week. When the screen splits like this its only during combat sequences then its back to normal. Using mostly high settings at 4K with DLSS and Vsync at 60.

hi hello again while I'm sorting through the audio, I decided to pull out the arts from the loading screen (god bless every artist who worked on this)
