Bible-Teaching Computer Games

What?

An Old Testament Adventure Game

For the last several years I've been working on a computer game to teach the Bible to teenagers. It's a graphic adventure in the style of Monkey Island or Beneath a Steel Sky: essentially a kind of interactive story which mixes a great sense of humour with a series of puzzles as you explore the fascinating game world.

Find a way across a raging river; track down the missing king; collect honey from a hoard of angry bees; move an army across a valley; and all whilst contending with crazy characters like polyphasic sleepers and politically motivated shepherds.

Reconnecting Modern Gamers With God's Word

To many people the Old Testament is completely unfathomable: a closed book full of strange stories about an even stranger God. The Bible teaches that our failure to know and love this God is actually world's greatest problem, and that the only way that's going to change is through getting to know him through his son Jesus, revealed in the pages of Scripture. That's why I'm not making a boring game about "morality" or about Bible bashing: the Bible should be exciting - it's the way we get to know our creator! I believe that Point & Click adventure games can do this well.
