![]() ![]() The voice acting during the gospel readings is good, even if the actor seems to be going for a Morgan Freeman vibe, and the rest of the cast is decent. The music is fine, as it is going for something that's airy for cut scenes, while silence permeates most of the gameplay. The presentation is also surprising in a number of ways. Considering that the demo restarts when you reboot, we stopped here as well. Getting out of this makes the game repeat all of the level's previous dialogue. Hitting every other key does nothing, except for Esc, which brings up the pause menu. Unfortunately, this is where the demo ends because the prompt calls for you to hit the Tab key, but that doesn't work. ![]() To get them to join you, you need to help them catch fish by luring them to the nets. The next part of the game has you seeking Peter and his brother Andrew. Much like the combat, it works as a gameplay hook. It opens with you finding the dark gems placed there by Satan and casting them away before staying to cleanse the area of his evil influence. The final part of the game we were able to see takes place in the fishing village of Bethsaida. ![]() Combat is clunky in its current state, so hopefully you won't encounter much of it in the full game. This culminates in a fight against Satan, as represented by another fiery ball of light. Both of the moves consume mana, which can only be refilled if you hold down the prayer button. Fighting consists of you using one hand to pull the enemy closer with a tractor beam and another hand to reflect the balls of energy being hurled at you. You make your way to prayer circles so an angel can teach you how to fight. The next chapter of the game takes place when Jesus fasts for 40 days in the desert. Once you find John, you get baptized, enter a prayer state, and head off to fast in the desert. Not doing that means you'll wander around the large forest around the Jordan River while discovering the level boundaries. You need to have that meter topped off before you can see the marker to lead you to John. You now have an energy meter that depletes slowly, and to fill it up, you need to gather and eat berries. The second part of the John the Baptist quest emulates a survival game. Once you learn of John's location, you have to go back home and rest before going out again. What's surprising is that the game provides a good mix of people who like and hate John, so it isn't positive all of the time. The game plays out mostly like a walking simulator as you go around town trying to locate John the Baptist. The first playable section skips the first 30 years of Jesus' life and starts things off when he visits John the Baptist. ![]()
