   Dude, why isn't there The Bible THE GAME? It's like Assassin's Creed but you're Jesus. Open world - you can level up your wisdom and perform incantations. You go from town to town defending yourself from Romans who are chasing after you, and in each town you gather apostles. In the midgame you fight Goliath, except he's Roman. Even though you win, there's a cutscene where you lose anyway and get crucified. Then Easter happens and you come back as SUPER JESUS. The game's difficulty ramps up to adjust for the fact you're now super powerful. You wander through the desert and fight Satan. You think it's the final boss, but then... YOU FIGHT GOD. How has this game not been made yet?

     @alex There’s a comic by the Pageau Brothers called “God’s Dog” about St Christopher the dog man (basically a werewolf) adventuring with other canonized Saints of the early church. It would make for a good video game.

     @alex Have you played any Christian based games? They're all fucking visual novels with shitty match 3 puzzles for the most part.
     
     Majority of Christian based games which are actually good are far removed the from the source material or is based on theological fanfiction (Dante's inferno).
     
     I think I know why exactly because they don't want their game to be boycotted.

     An RPG set in CS Lewis' Narnia universe would be a far superior Christian game.

     @alex I have considered making something akin to this, except more biblically accurate. Maybe in a metaphorical context that tells the story in dark fantasy. Like Dark Souls but Scripture-themed. Would be pretty cool I think.
