Hello, I’m Mike Christatos; President of Golden Ruby Games. We’re a two-man development studio based in New York and we’re developing Extreme Exorcism on PS4. I’m also pleased to announce, for the first time ever, that we’re working on a PS3 version as well!
Spawned from our love of hardcore arcade games from the days of gaming past, Extreme Exorcism is a paranormal platformer, where every move you make comes back to haunt you. Mae Barrons is an Extreme Exorcist with extreme methods. She’s called upon to rid a haunted house of its ghostly presence, when everything and everyone else has failed.
Haunted by the spirits of lost lives and high scores, we took the classic arena shooter and added a twist. Instead of adding enemies that get harder over time, you’ll be forced to fight past versions of yourself, which spawn as ghosts at the beginning of each round. With this added threat, 50 challenges and a robust multiplayer mode, we expect Extreme Exorcism to be a scary good time for you and your friends.
The ghost mechanic was created temporarily as placeholder enemy AI. Initially a quick fix, we realized that when players are forced to fight against themselves, they actually face more of a challenge. Giving everyone infinite ammo and a one hit one kill, it’s up to you to not only survive for as long as possible, but to try and remember every action you performed in the previous rounds.
Being a small, two-person studio, time is precious. So with help from an artist, sound designer, and UI creator — and of course our publisher Ripstone — we were able to focus on the gameplay and classic arcade challenge we wanted to create.
To further the gameplay of hunting ghost versions of yourself, we added challenge and multiplayer modes to amplify the chaos. In challenge mode, you’ll be tasked with completing 50 different challenges that really lean hard into the chaotic nature of Extreme Exorcism. And if you think it’s hard to memorize a multitude of ghost movements from yourself, try adding three of your friends in the mix and remembering what they did, too. If that’s too crazy, challenge your couchmates to a 4v4 game of deathmatch, where the last man standing is the winner.

Please do! We hope you enjoy it.
Looks very fun!, can’t wait to play it =)
Great to hear FireCage!
No Vita. No buy
Seems like a lot of people would be pumped for a Vita version (myself included). Is there anything we, as a gaming community, could do to initiate the process of development on a vita version? I definitely understand the limitations of your team given your size, but I’m sincerely curious. I’m really looking forward to the game on PS4 regardless. Thanks!
Reminds me of this very old Win95 game I had a demo of back in the past. I think it was called Arc, but I couldn’t find it with the good old google. Could be wrong on the title. I think it was part of this “Cybernet” software collection.
Anyways fun little game with a (plumber??) whose pants always fell down, and who fought ghosts.
I’m disappointed that no one asked when this game is coming out.
Do you have a release window?
Fall 2015?
Winter 2015?
October 2015?
etc..

The game was called Arcade America. Arcdemo.exe was the file name. Finally found it through even more googling! :)
Slingshot weapon? :D
Reminds me of another old-school platformer for the Sega Master System called Ghost House. Because of that, I will definitely be picking this one up!
Great to hear! Hope you enjoy it.
This actually sounds pretty awesome. I’ll definitely have to check it out.
Thanks takaithepanda! We appreciate it.
This would better fit Vita.
I don’t understand you guys bringing this to PS4 but not for Vita.It can’t be the audience cuz 80% of PS4 playas only know to say one thing “more indie crap”.While Vita playas appreciate any kind of game and especially a fit like this one.
Anyway I’m glad you guys are bringing this to PS3 or you wouldn’t have ma money and boy this looks fun as hell.
