The protagonist of this ultra-bleak horror game fights with sadness and gets upgrades by having an avoidant personality

You boot up Unholy and within the first five minutes your kid is kidnapped, sacrificed, and his soul is sent to the afterlife to be tortured eternally. It's a bad situation, but you can totally come back from this: his soul can be recovered by completing a linear series of stealth puzzles. 

Scorn-like Unholy stars Dorothae, who aims to learn and grow from this unexpected experience with ritual sacrifice by stealing her kid Gabriel back from hell. She's got some other baggage too, notably a pathological aversion to concluding personal matters. Bailing on her job at the evil cult sisterhood got her into all this, and to get out of it, she's going to burn away the unopened letters from her dead parents that she's put off reading in exchange for powerful occult abilities like "crouch slide". Every hardship is an opportunity for growth, right?
