The Church in the Darkness is an action/stealth game where you infiltrate a religious cult and the story changes every time you play. It's 1977 and your nephew has moved deep into the South American jungle. Sneak into his commune, find out what's going on, and try to get the best ending you can.
We've now rolled out our new version our new version 1.4, featuring our note tracker, available via the Notes entry on the main menu. This tracks all the notes & documents you find in your playthroughs of the game and lets you read or re-read them whenever you want.
After a few revisions and polish we're happy to bring this new feature out of Beta and make it part of the main build for everyone to play. Your game should automatically update to this version.

As you travel through Freedom Town, in desks, trunks, and other searchable spots you'll collect documents that you can read in game. But some people have mentioned reading them during gameplay can be stressful given how intense the game can be. Plus, since not every document is in every playthrough, it was previously impossible to read all the notes in one place.
So we made the new "Notes" menu. We love this feature because now you can explore the full narrative of the game across multiple playthroughs, and to read the notes not during stressful gameplay but from the calm between games. Our writers and artists put a bunch of work into these, and we wanted to shine an extra spotlight on them through this new menu. You can even explore how these documents and the story change between different versions of the cult, because we show you all the different versions of a specific document you might find in different playthroughs. And you can also see what notes you haven't found yet, giving you a good reason to venture back into the jungle again and see if you can find what you're missing.

Want to know how to find one you're missing? Keep searching those desks, the bulletin boards, and also the red chests in the chapels. The more you search in a single play-through, the more obscure the documents you will start to find... And remember, you can never find them all in a single playthrough.
We're looking forward to seeing who will be first to collect all the notes. We should remind you that we have only been tracking your Notes/Document collection since our 1.3 patch, so if you're a long time player not everything you've found will be displayed. Good reason to go hunting in Freedom Town for those missing documents. And thanks again to folks who tested this out in Beta!
The Collective Justice Mission has so many different stories to share with you - to find them all, you'll have to spend a good amount of time in the jungle. Let us know when you think you've found them all.
