Exorcism? It's Child's Play.

I suppose it had to happen. Now someone's gone and turned exorcism into a game. Flying Fish Works will be presenting their latest offering at the Game Connection in Lyon.

It's called Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition and will be ported to Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC.

Hellion's protagonist is scarfaced Godric of Glastonbury (pictured), a hero who not only wields a mean broadsword but is adept at exorcism. His first mission takes him to a Cistercian monastery in medieval England, where he does battle with pagan sects and heretics as well as Olde Nick himself.

According to the makers, “For the first time we will present our hero’s extraordinary skill – the exorcism. In Hellion the exorcism is a unique upgradeable and storytelling instrument. It is a real main feature as gamer will use this tool continuously in various ways for – attacking, protecting and supporting. It is not comparable to some kind of simple magic in fact it is a powerful talent our hero is blessed with.”

Gamers will be able to face virtual demons, as well as taking part in "political and religious intrigue. The game is "an epic journey through different medieval cultures full of real-life characters, wild animals, rough warriors, powerful Templar knights, deadly assassins and, ultimately, horrifying demons."
