It’s rare that you see a video game trailer that makes everybody stop and go lolwhut? I AM JESUS CHRIST has managed it, though. Who are they expecting to play this game, anyway?
And it’s got an entry on Steam, so if the game’s a hoax then it’s a more elaborate one than usual. It’s also just a little too easy to shake one’s head and say ‘blasphemy.’ Blasphemy in these decadent times doesn’t usually bother to make this much of an effort. Wondrously, terrifyingly: this might be sincere.
Ach, the times we live in!

PS: I don’t know. Maybe. It’ll depend on the price point.
I am not sure what to say to this one.

It strikes me odd, but I do not detect the tongue in cheek feel of mockery or sucker punch. Might well be real.
The quality/activity appears to me as “earnest, if predictable Christian Media” production values.

Interpret that trope how you will.
Also, completely off topic, but the new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer dropped.
The full one? I thought that was tomorrow!
It’s like Untitled Goose Game, but instead of terrorizing a small English village, you’re make Jerusalem nicer. Still, the Savior better have a “honk” button to spam.
You realize there’s The Money-changer’s in Temple Court level to play through, right? Plenty of opportunity for action.
Or there should be. Haven’t played it, but if it’s not an option, it’ll be a major oversight.
Money changers, pigs, fig trees. Jesus has a few vengeful God moments. Also, there should be a “pharasee annoyance” meter that causes problems for the people you help if you do too much in one place.
When asking “What Would Jesus Do?” .. remember that knocking over furniture and beating on people with a whip are valid options …

Honestly, there may be people who want to play a Skyrim-type game but are uncomfortable with magic that’s disconnected from their religion. There are strong mystical groups in Catholicism and Judaism, which sometimes get little respect. I’m not saying it’s a large market, but some of them may enjoy.
