A new video game from developer PlayWay lets players put themselves in a religious icon's place and is aptly titled 'I Am Jesus Christ.'
The I Am Jesus Christ video game was inspired by stories from the New Testament and has players perform acts described in the bible such as healing the sick, multiplying fish, and calming stormy seas. After performing a feat, the character's "holy abilities" bar is depleted. Eventually, the game progresses to show the Crucifixion from Jesus' perspective as well as him emerging from a cave.
This highly realistic simulation video game may be targetted towards young, aspiring Christians wishing to learn biblical tales on a modern platform that they are already familiar with.
