Questions

All questions, controls and requirements
Is it free?

Yes. Create an account and play. There is no shop and nothing to buy; donations are optional and unlock nothing.

Do I need to know the Bible?

No. The game begins on an ordinary day at the nets, and you learn the story as Simon did, one day at a time. If you know the Gospels, you will recognise every scene; if you are simply curious about Jesus, or enjoy history and role-playing games, you are just as welcome.

What do I need to play?

A computer with a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari that supports WebGL 2. Keyboard and mouse work best; phones and tablets get touch controls. There is nothing to download.

Is it a Christian game?

Yes. It tells the story of Jesus as the Gospels and Acts record it, through the eyes of Simon Peter, and quotes the Bible word for word. It invites you into the story rather than lecturing you about it.
