How religious is this game?

[Ruinzifra]

I've seen mentions of religious stuff in this game. And look, if you believe is whatever, great for you. I dont, and I dont really want to hear any nonsense religious stuff. Is it just a weird verse here and there, or is it trying to be a religious game? Thanks in advance!

Think of the Crusades, but not Christian.

Let's perhaps express some understanding for all the people that grew up in and around organized religion that are now living with religious trauma. More common than you might think, especially in the American mid-west and south.

This game is narratively rooted in traditional catholic/christian iconography and archetypes, but it takes significant leaps away from the source material (witches are real and literal embodiments of evil). We are left with something that feels, as Punnilingus said above me, more Crusades and less Christian.

Another comparison might be to Constantine, the "christian" hellblazer from DC Comics. You will feel like a powerful warlock more than you will feel like a member of the church, as things are taken quite literally in the world of Witchfire.

This game slaps.

This comment slaps! Well said.

religion isn't traumatizing but FUNDAMENTALISM is massively traumatizing and you can pretty much pick the religion at that point because all fundamentalism is the same.
