An intricate game about trying to serve a god, May 10, 2016

In this game, you try to act out Pascal's wager, which is that serving God has an infinite reward if God exists, so you should serve him no matter what chance he has of existing,

In this game, there are six possible gods you must serve, including quite a wide variety. You must do everything you can in three periods of your life to show the God that you serve them.

The game is well put together and descriptive. Some of the gods are absolutely horrible in ways that are rarely exceeded in If, but the game warns you ahead of time to steer clear.

I would not play some paths again, but I'm interested in some of the paths.

My own quibble is that actual gameplay is very opaque, making hints more necessary.
