About the Game

Enjoy this brief spiritual adventure that will introduce you to an ancient biblical legendary king of Jerusalem, Qohelet: "There is a season and a time for everything under the sun". Behind every person there is a valuable backstory that needs to be told to future generations, especially when that story was worth to be written down.

Set the stage for your day-to-day spiritual warfare by meditating the immortal scrolls of the Dead Sea and talking with their author, Qohelet.

Impersonate your soul in the spiritual world, whose ordinary stage is your own mind. This place is ruled by a set of laws that is a whole new world if compared to the natural laws. Re-discover Qohelet's majestic past endeavours and meditate why He abandoned all of them. Breath a new spiritual life by undertaking a spiritual journey: follow Qohelet instructions so as to increase your level of discernment and morale. The more the bible is meditated, the more it sheds light on your way. But remember: at the end of every spiritual journey there is not something like a concept or a discipline to learn, quite Someone ready to embrace us.

Features:

- First person: impersonate your soul that moves in your mind, at the spiritual dimension. The player status, represented by a leveling discernment bar and a morale bar, model how spiritual warfare works; the player runs on several thoughts, whose nature can be discovered only if player discernment is enough.

- Spiritual: the game talks about the spiritual world, modeled on biblical teachings of the Desert Fathers. Be initiated to the art of spiritual warfare by completing some missions for Qohelet and meditating His ancient scrolls

- For real: nothing in the game is pure fantasy, but it is inspired to and intended for real life.
