Have you ever wanted to roleplay as Jesus Christ, performing miracles, fighting Satan, dying horrifically on the cross and then somehow getting resurrected and ascending to heaven?
If so, I am Jesus Christ may just be the video game for you. Created by Polish game developer SimulaM, this historical Jesus simulation game will see players step into the sandals of the alleged Son of God himself – and in the first-person perspective.
The trailers seem to portray an open world setting, where players can take the Son of God throughout the Land of Israel – known at the time as the Roman province of Palestine – through vistas ranging from mountaintops to deserts to the sea and, of course, Jerusalem.
Some of the miracles that players will be able to perform include walking on water, making a stormy sky dissipate, turning water into wine, dying and resurrecting and seemingly telekinetically moving a large rock out of the way.
And of course, there will also be an over-the-top boss battle against Satan. However, performing miracles isn’t easy. Players will need to keep an eye on their “Holy Spirit” meter, which depletes with each miracle – though of course it can be recharged.
Needless to say, commodifying Jesus’s abilities to perform miracles was certainly a bit of creative license the developers took when adapting the source material. The game’s prologue is already available to play for free, with the full game slated for release sometime in the second quarter of 2023. (SOURCE)
