Faith - Story Explained (Chapter 1)

- NOTE: The intro should be "You /a/ sked yourself..." NOT "You asked /y/ ourself..." an unfortunate mistake I had only noticed now, a month after uploading.
This is the first part of a series where we go through, organize, and lightly analyze the plot and lore to the renowned indie game, Faith: The Unholy Trinity.
Despite the first chapter being relatively short there is still quite a bit of story to tell and foundation to lay down. I wanted to upload the first Chapter now, but it will take me some time before completing the next chapter. I just wanted to get this out now, because of how awesome your guys' responses were to the Cruelty of Skinamarink video.
The support has been mind blowing, and no matter what I will appreciate you all. Enjoy!

“We’ll keep this creepy demon in mind.” It’ll have to make room, I’m afraid.
When he said, “She is here.” I was like, “Oh reallly?!?! No shit father John. 😂
The goals is to keep demons out of your mind
What a great video, congrats my guy
Ooooh yeah, we put this on the back of the box
You guys are simply the best when will we get a collab????
Hi man
Ok, that does it I am subbing to this Peacock fella
Seeing you here is amazing. Please do more bible study videos, the Zoomers need it.
I kinda love how in the footage presented, the voice line that triggered upon Michael being shot was his "Que te jodan mil cabras!" one, which means his final words in the version you presented are "May a thousand goats fuck you!" in Spanish. That's one hell of a line to go out on after being filled with buckshot before being run over by a trailer truck.
"Suddenly accosted by a four legged, white, humanoid crawling towards us." Sir, I was just out for a walk im SORRY
4:45 Flaw Peacock in the Faith video: "It will be PURE FACTS"
Flaw Peacock in the Hex video: "I GETTING FLOPPY WITH IT"
love the 'universally beloved junior high teacher's assistant' vibe
I feel like the mom asking her friend who "looks like she could be from there" about the doll could just be a product of this game taking place in 1987 tbh
Yeah, also in a rural area
old racism is still racism
I never noticed the whispery effect at the end of amy's line at 18:11. The real-sounding hiss of the word "priest" adds to the eerieness of the robotic voice
Genuinely love coming back to this after starting from the Who's Lila video and just hearing a repeated string of `keep this in mind`, which now feels like the local mantra. A+
This and your skinamarink video is such an amazing start to your channel. Your work's gonna be huge soon. I love it.
im so happy that Wendigoon shouted you out in his video about Faith and told people to check out your analysis about a deeper investigation into the endings! And from his interview with Airdorf, so much of what you said was basically confirmed, so oh my gosh, that must have been great if you watched the Airdorf interview WEndi got to do :)
16:04 "Father Ward carries his cross and, like Simon of Cyrene, we are there to help him bear it."
This line is so, so good: perfectly fits the theme of the story and we as the player are literally "helping" Fr Ward achieve his goals through game play. It was clever, but not so clever as to trip up a listener -- I understood your meaning, thought, 'Oh, that's good,' and went through the rest of your video, but was compelled to find this quote and share my appreciation of it.
This entire video essay was excellent and you did a great job mentioning little details and red herrings without getting bogged down. Looking forward to watching your videos on episodes two and three -- I'm curious about your take on the twins.
It's retroactivelly kinda funny, hearing you say you might have started with your Magnum Opus after watching the 20 hours of Mullensverse. Your videos are genuinely getting better with each new one.
I'm glad that I'm able to find a channel that *actually explains* what the story is all about step by step instead of just reading a summary and doesn't bring any new info to the table like the majority of X explained videos I've seen so far. Thank you for your content and keep up the great work!
"...and you forgot the Anime at home." Jfc, that tickled me.
I'm all in for your humor and thoughtful insight. No pretense, I really dig it. You could wax poetic on any topic on a stream and I'd be fully engaged and interested; hook line and sinker. Super happy to have found someone who has such an open personality. I know there's lots of comparison to cool creators like Wendigoon and I'd agree because of how wonderfully rare it is to find an essayist/creator who feels like an engaging buddy or tutor that's going over theory with you, not _at_ you. We all feel kinda giddy like seeing a gd double mf rainbow. Lol
Excited for you to create more of what excites you!
11:49 lol “who writes this stuff-Jordan Peele??” Quality video, man.
Edit; just fyi-If you get a flat white opaque bedsheet and just hang it over the window reflecting on the whiteboard, like a curtain, the light will diffuse and not reflect so much on the whiteboard.
Ooooh, thank you for the tip!
When I think of FAITH going forward, I will keep this video in mind
How does this guy not even have 1k subs yet? This is his second video and already in the top 10% of the whole “online horror video essay” niche.
2 days later he's on 1.6K so, y'know, sometimes the algorithm works =)
He has 11k now
@@enviousshade1770 got me hyped up
@@SlicesofHistory 13.6k now, mans is onto something
Here a year after this comment to say he's hit 53k so far and still climbing :)
I got sent here from a rabbit hole of a hyperfixation of Faith again, and I'm so pleased with the way you explain things and the quirkiness of it all. Congrats man. Hope to stick around
6:44 "cochino" lmfaooooo great vids dude!
Your stuff is amazing so far, you're shaping up to be a wendigoon styled channel, with the fun loving vibe of peter knitter. You're a diamond in a rough, and because it's your favorite word. No, I'm not gonna leave you without a well deserved sub.
I found you through Who's Lila (great video btw, I didn't see time pass by!) and there's something I would like to say :
As a Pagan, I truly appreciate the respect you have with beliefs systems in general, and the research you put in if you don't already know about it. It's really easy for other video essays to disregard or even mock them, so it's kind of refreshing to see how you treat it!
I came into your videos apprehensive at first, but instead I was greeted with well written, easy to get invested videos. Your voice and endearing sense of humour do a lot in order to feel so welcoming
WAIT youre new creator!? You are so confident and your videos r so well made I didn't even notice your small subscriber list and how you only have 2 videos 😭😭 You're absolutely amazing
it's been just over a year since my friend sent me a clip of you saying "who doesnt think their landlord is the antichrist?" prompting me to start watching your videos and man am I glad i did! (I was curious since i came back to watch this one and saw my comment from the first watch said '1 year ago', it was September 6th 2023 :) )
"You dont just pull up to the local home depot and ask 'hey is anyone an ordained priest?'.." 😂😂
Cracking up cuz as someone living in CT, ya probably could find a priest (or someone in the church line of work) part-timing at Home Depot 😂 That'd be pretty normal around here lol
I find this game so interesting since it's based in the state I live in, and honestly as simplistic as the graphics are, it perfectly encapsulates just how eerie this woodsy lil state can be at night. Definitely thankful to finally find a breakdown of the story 🙌
Gotta say, love your channel and will be binging the next 2 vids in the series ❤ You do great work and I'm looking forward to whatever you have planned for the future ☺
Came back to this video after a while and I’m screaming now at the look you gave around 12:20!
“I guess the map in the twins’ room is just for show.” AAAAAA
Dude you are *extremely* good at these video essays. Intelligent, insightful, humorous, and imho the whole intro is already perfect. I don't get how you can do this so well but you're like some cool professor explaining stuff they like and it rubs off on their students lol. Keep it up! You certainly have a hell of a gift for this.
I LOVE the lore analysis in this video, the way you present in all of your videos is so charming. It’s equally analytical and lighthearted, but you also temper it with moments of serious respect and introspection when needed.
And then, hitting me out of nowhere with that Chris Hansen around 29 minutes, I BURST out laughing. I was caught totally off guard. Made an 11/10 video a 12/10 just for that!!
I love this channel it scratches the itch In my brain that craves having something random explained to me like it's a class presentation that doesn't have to do with the actual assignment but the teacher doesn't care enough to stop it 😊 ( I mean this in a positive way)
This was so fun. I started giggling every time you said “we will be keeping ____ in mind!”
Came for the skinamarink video, stayed for the FAITH video. These videos have been excellent and I see good things coming in the future of your channel!
As someone who doesn't have time or money to find this stuff on my own even though I'm obsessed this is a life saver
I'm really happy to see someone actually dig in with both hands, not just recapping the story, but a full deep dive into the lore.
I also liked how you gave us the rundown on how you put these together, your methodology. Very "Scientific", the best form of essay, helps keep our info clear.
I love how you used the whiteboard to keep everything in order, makes it way easier to pick out important pieces and make references to keep it all concise.
The humor and "Outtakes" are also charming,
26:50 That's an interesting interpretation, I had figured he "Lost" his ordained status after his failure, and following extreme panic as he ran away, and had gotten married in that period as well since he was no longer a priest. (Although I chalk John being married up to Airdorf being Lutheran, in which a pastor can get married, unlike Catholics, and is thus a mistake)
I enjoyed this appertiter and I'm looking forward to not only more in this series, but more content overall, great stuff.
What an channel man! I feel privileged stumbling upon it so early, Your style is great, and the way you explain and present theme to us. Keep up the good work
This video has made my day so much better, genuinely. The enthusiasm and delight with which you approach your subject matter is so refreshing and brings me so much joy
As a side note: 6:44 funny
29:36 *FBI OPEN UP*
It’s about time the yt algorithm showed me something actually interesting and informative! Keep up the good work dude!
Found you through the "Who's Lila"-video last week, and whooooo boy, do I look forward to more of this type of content. The level of quality, both in the explanations and theories, and in the execution of the larger video, is staggering.
This channel is going to blow up very soon, mark my words!
So glad I was suggested your channel! I feel like I've found a hidden gem.
Absolutely agree! 💯% 🍻🌎❤️🌮
I tried watching once before, as I was genuinely curious about the Faith series, but I clicked away before you began telling the lore, as it seemed as though it wouldn't be a good quality explaination and exploration. I was very very wrong and am so glad I came back to watch. Going to binge the other two episodes today, and I love the style of this video and analysis. The "in mind" repetition had me laughing more than it should have and your exploration style is unique and very much enjoyable. Keep up the great work man!!!
Thanks for giving it another chance!
Found your channel yesterday with the Skinamarink upload and commented my own theory. I just wanted to say I love this channel already and am so excited for the next upload!!
I love the way you dive into topics and cover all your bases. Thank you for the content !
i always come back to this series. it got me through the last few months of the school year bc i just kept listening to this every day 😭
Man I love the way you present these stories to us, feels like an old friend
Fantastic video. Can't wait for part 2 & 3. I love that you go through all the notes and endings in the game. The story of Faith is so intricate, yet so rewarding if you piece it together. You did a great job at unfolding this plot.
coming back to rewatch this series, and I have to say, the views you've gotten from me on all your videos in general is a testament to the fact that you ARE something special; I love the formats of these explaining videos, the only other video I've seen like this was for Guily Gear Strive and it's 9 hours of friends in a seminar format. This style's so unique I can't get enough, please, MORE
Such a cool channel, watched the Skinamirink video and assumed it must have been the latest of many, can’t believe it was the first one. And now following up with a Faith video!
This was a fantastic video, thank you. My favourite thing you did was you used the white board for important points to remember. That blew me away, just little things like that make me smile
I dunno what it is but it's like the way you talk and the jokes really make me want to watch yer content, good job man I hope your channel grows!
i cannot believe that i’m here before 1,000 subs ! your videos have such a specific vibe that i’ve wanted to watch for so long without even knowing it, cannot wait to see you make it big
I can already tell you’re going to be one of the youtubers I look forward to posting!!!! I’m excited to see what else you make videos about!!
This is the first video ive seen of yours. Fire intro. Imma come back when im done 2:56.
One of my favorite games!
So glad you’re talking about it!!
Keep up the great work!!!
Your channel is criminally underrated, you will go far with your channel if you continue uploading these BANGERS 💪
Perfect timing my dude I can't wait! Such good editing and videos off the bat, you're gonna go far 🔥
I absolutely adore the way you film these videos. You're a very funny guy to watch, and very informative.
I think my favorite part of this video is the fact you tell the story the way a player would experience it; its not a complete storyline immediately, and leaves me (and the audience) with the same questions you'll answer later. This ultimatley gives an excellent payoff to viewers since they have the time to stew on it, and not have that answer immediately revealed.
Man, I love your videos, keep it up!! ❤️
Mate your channel is definitely gunna blow up, really entertaining and enthusiastic, plus your humour is authentic. Great start to the channel
I've been looking for a video about the FAITH lore for a while now, but all the videos I've found have left me more confused than I was before, this is the only video where I was actually able to digest the information properly and been able to understand the story. Very excited to see the continuation of this!
i wish people really explain things like this dude, luv thy vid
I love your videos so much. They feel like an info dump thats been tidied up.
Including the parts where you just latch onto a phrase or a word and it stops feeling like an actual word or phrase. It just tickles my brain
I watched this series when it first came out, but after watching Wendigoon's, I just had to return to this series. I enjoy how you go over every single detail, every ending, and every secret.
Also thanks to you, every time I explain something in real life, I pause and tell people "keep this in mind" 😂
I know I'm just repeating what other people have said, but I'm loving your content so far! The skinamarink video was top tier and I was beyond elated to find that you're covering Faith! I love those games so much and I think the format you're using for your analysis works great! You're also super funny and charming, just a great presenter.
I can't wait to see your other Faith videos and anything else you come up with!
I’m not sure how I found this since I’ve never even heard of this game. But god damn, this was great. An easy subscribe and I’m going to play this asap.
I’ll keep this channel in mind.
We'll keep this excellent channel *taps head twice* in mind.
Watched your Skinamarink vid a few days ago and I was impressed. This video was a great watch as well.
I will be keeping this channel in mind
New channel talking about something I like? Hell no
Wait, I mean yes.
Welcome to TH-cam dude! V cool, keep it up proud of u
I will be keeeping this channel... in mind!
For real tho, the first 2 videos have been very enjoyable, the humor really hit home for me and I'm looking forward to more.
Incredible channel so glad to have found you!
God this video is so much more than I was hoping for.
I have only really heard and seen “faith the unholy trinity” in TH-cam shorts, so the way that you both show of the game and pick out the important story beats is just perfect.
My only complaint with this whole video is the jump cuts used in the summary, it really distracts me from hearing what you are saying.
But still one of the best story/lore explanation videos I have ever seen. Good job 😊
The vine joke at the beginning 😂 I love these games. The choice to use warped text-to-speech was so smart and well done. It's maintained its creepiness all these years for me. Thoroughly enjoyed this video on Chapter 1 and will definitely watch the next parts (and do not mind patiently waiting)! This helped me place some things in the story that I didn't previously get. Thanks again for the hard work!
I work nights and I have been watching your stuff for a while, but I listened through Who's Lila? during my shifts last week and now I am watching this set and Inscryption Act 2. I don't have a way to play these games myself, so thank you for sharing them with me, I will never forget Who's Lila in particular. Also, thank you for all the effort you put into your videos! You're a true artist honestly. Thank you!
I haven't watched even a minute of your content, but it has already enthralled me so much I just HAD to subscribe, you'll go far, friend, keep up the quality.
Got curious with Faith and its lore.
Your analysis and storytelling is awesome #subscribed
I'll keep tuning in for chapters 2 and 3 in mind ❤️
honestly, thank you for posting the chapters as separate videos. I'm playing the game on a livestream and I have a terrible time keeping up with story details when I read the letters aloud, my brain just doesn't process everything if I'm reading something for the first time this way, so I went looking for a comprehensive rundown on the story to solidify it in my head. (it doesn't help that you can find the notes in almost any order, too.) I didn't want spoilers for the whole series, so these videos are perfect for me as I play the game. thank you!
Once I finished your Skinamarink video (Literally yesterday) I instantly subscribed, something about your videos will definitely hit. Don't give up!!!!!! Your videos r awesome so far :.) !!!
Honestly I love your deep dives. I've always imagined this game having more than meets the eye just by some of the style choices made and I'm glad you made the effort to put everything in one place so more people can enjoy the story.
I can’t believe this channel is so new. Your videos are so good! You’re doing great!
I love these kinds of videos already, and despite the videos being long, Flawed Peacock has a great way of keeping things interesting!
this video was amazing! as soon as i typed in “Faith: Unholy Trinity Explained” your video popped up. i love how happy you are while you're explaining the story, we can tell you really enjoy this. you rock brother✊🏽
Dude, thank you. I've been searching up analysis videos for FAITH just recently and devouring all the information I could find, which wasn't much, and the pieces weren't completely connecting in my head. You do a really good job of presenting stuff and keeping Viewers engaged. Good stuff :)
This video helped me in college head to sleep, become a fan of faith, and start fan fiction. Thank you
love watching your older stuff. you've come so far so fast! one of my favorite people on YT ☺️
This was a great collection of knowledge of the story in chapter 1 you are going to carry this games community on the lore end of it this really helped me get an overview of the story as a whole since a lot of TH-camrs only barely explore the notes in playthroughs
I can tell this channel is going to grow fast into something magnificent I hope you get many more subscribers
I'm SO HYPED to see you do such an in-depth analysis of this game, because nobody has gone to this extent with this game yet! Very excited to see you talk about the other 2 chapters
You sir have earned a sub, I just discovered these games over a month ago and I’ve been absolutely obsessed these are so good!
watched 10 minutes of your skinamarink video and already subcribed. You got it man, keep up the good work and you're going places. Also, love the jokes lol
I remember looking up Skinamarink, and watching your video first, and went to your channel, seeing that it was your only video. I think i subscribed to you then, and if not, i subscribed at this video. You are one of my favorite creators, and i hope you do well in your future. You deserve over 1M subs, my guy
Guy says he led with a magnum opus. Funniest thing I’ve ever heard, every video this man drops is a certified masterpiece.
Man u're ressonating with a lot of ppl.
Found u yesterday with the movie review, and i've been playing this game! Such a good coincidence!
Never had I even considered the level of entertainment that "whiteboard segments" might add to horror analysis videos. I fuckin love it.
Please never stop making videos, your passion is infectious
i cant believe that you havent actually made 100 videos i was so ready to binge watch all your content but for now im gonna wait for new uploads love your vids mann
The way the information in these videos is presented is just so good and digestible. You make sure everything flows from one thing to the next without ever making the viewer feel lost, that is very difficult to do and you make it seem easy. You're def gonna blow up soon
YT recommented your Skinmarink video about a month ago, kicking me to watch the movie so I could watch your video on it. Best decision of my life, as I'm now down to enjoy these Faith videos.
Came back to rewatch after Wendigoon mentioned you and linked ya in his description, well deserved my friend! Thanks again for helping me understand and come to adore this game.
I love the effort that he put in! Trying his best for us to understand the topic as much as possible 🥺♥️
bro your content is so good! keep up the great work my man.
I remember the first time I saw this game, I had been browsing through Jesse Cox’s channel and found his and his friend’s faith playthroughs, the style, story, music, all of it captured my interest immediately! I love seeing this video not only to explain things I missed or didn't get, but to get back into this awesome game, one that interests me from it's atari style graphics to the S.A.M text to speech voices, to the plot and secrets. The first video of yours I saw was the Who's Lila one. Now, I'm going through all of your videos! Great work!
Time to rewatch this series for the fifth time!!
That bit about the map in the twins' room only being for show...excellent.👌I only picked up on that now, despite watching this video at least a dozen times over.
two videos that appeal to me, DEF subbed. not to mention these videos made me chuckle a few times ngl
