   A game that asks an important question: "What if Myst was bad, and all puzzles relied exclusively on looking stuff up in the Bible?" 🤔

     This isn't an exaggeration. At the start the game tells you to keep the Bible handy, and then just proceeds to throw verses at you instead of puzzle hints.

     @dmbaturin Isn't KJV the most used Bible in the world?

     @dosnostalgic Note that is requires not any bible, but KJV specifically.
     Reminds me of Borges' "Pier Menard, author of the Quixote": "...in a certain newspaper, whose protestant leanings are surely no secret". ;)

     @dosnostalgic @dmbaturin I remember a day in fourth grade here in Brazil when students were asked to bring a Bible from home to school for an activity. I didn't have one, so I just watched amused as the teacher asked the students to look things up and they couldn't agree on stuff because their versions were so different.

     @dosnostalgic I was expecting, like, thematic references rather than using the Bible like a copy protection booklet
