A Step Too Far? PlayWay is Making a Jesus Simulator

I Am Jesus Christ is the latest simulator from PlayWay. It will enable you to heal the sick, restore sight, walk on water, and even hang on the cross. In the meantime, you will begin to wonder where the world is going.

Yep, that's exactly what you think it is.

There are some games you look at and, regardless of your view of the world, you instantly know that it's a nope. Just nope.

Meet I Am Jesus Christ, a Jesus Simulator from PlayWay Polish publisher responsible for e.g. House Flipper. This "divine" simulator focuses on the period of Jesus' life between baptism and resurrection. The gameplay is mainly about living the life of Christ and performing miracles with the help of... superpowers. The superpowers of the Holy Spirit. I'm not kidding.

Maybe it would be best of you see this for yourselves:

The creators promise, among other things, an open world, more than thirty different miracles, superpower and upgrades through prayer, as well as crucifixion and a realistic battle with Satan, and "much more". In the description on Steam we read:

"Get into old times and follow the same path of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago.. [...] Have you ever wondered to be like Him - one of the most privileged and powerful people in the world?

Have you?

The release date has not yet been announced. The game will be available in English, with French, Italian, Spanish and German subtitles.

Hands that heal. Kinda.
