The protestant videogame Gate Zero (they couldn’t think of a better name?) was recently released and I started watching a livestream because I wanted to review it. I thought it would take me some time to see how much errors it had, but then something happened that made me quit immediately.
In Gate Zero the player character travels back into the time of Jesus because he wants to solve a puzzle his grandmother left him. He wants to sneak inside the Temple for some reason, but since only Levites can enter there, he does the following: He goes to receive a special sacerdotal suit that will change his DNA and turn him into a son of Levi.
…
What? Why do you change your DNA? How does it work? Do you really need to travel back in time to solve your grandma’s puzzle? It was so stupid that it actually made me laugh out loud in disbelief.
If you want to make a video game without blasphemies, sex or excess gore then fine, but don’t give your clients such senseless nonsense. Wearing a suit will not change your ancestors, and it actually reminds me of transgenderism. A woman inserts herself a Y gene because she hates dolls or something, and becomes a boy. It defies belief that they could come out with something like this.
On the other hand, making a game where Jesus appears has an extremely uncomfortable problem. In your video game, CGI Jesus would be a Non-Player Character, in other words, an NPC. On the other hand, it would be borderline blasphemous to make a game where you can pretend to be the Messias.
They could have made a Palestine RPG, but instead they decided to make a video game where you genetically modify yourself to trespass the Temple more comfortably because reasons.
Please people, if you can make a video game without whores or blood, don’t waste that opportunity. Sometimes a simple puzzle like Tetris should be enough to make it, especially because you would have less trouble with the story, which is bound to happen if you make yet another Jesus fan fiction.
